Escape path

First clear the tree base and work area

from interfering limbs and brush and

clean its lower portion with an ax.

Then, establish two paths of escape (B)

and remove all obstacles. These paths

should be generally opposite to the

planned direction of the fall of the tree

(A) and about at a 45° angle. Place all

tools and equipment a safe distance

away from the tree, but not on the

escape paths.

Chainsaw Safety Manual

45°

If the tree has large buttress roots, cut

into the largest buttress vertically first

(horizontally next) and remove the

resulting piece.

English / USA

When making the felling notch, use the

gunning sight on the shroud and housing

to check the required direction of fall:

Position the saw so that the gunning

sight points exactly in the direction

you want the tree to fall.
