First clear the tree base and work area
from interfering limbs and brush and
clean its lower portion with an axe.
Then, establish a path of escape (%) and
remove all obstacles. This path should
be generally opposite to the planned
direction of the fall of the tree ($) and
about at a 45° angle. An alternate path
(%) must also be selected. Place all tools
and equipment a safe distance away
from the tree, but not on the escape path.
If the tree has large buttress roots, cut
into the largest buttress vertically first
(horizontally next) and remove the
resulting piece.
