FELLING A TREE
Warning:
to prevent possible serious injury.
•
Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or heavy precipitation. Wait until the hazardous weather has ended.
•
Do not fell trees that lean at extreme angles or large trees with rotten limbs, loose bark, or hollow trunks. Instead,
have these trees pushed or dragged down with heavy equipment and then cut them up.
•
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings.
•
Check the tree for damaged or dead branches that could fall and hit you during felling.
•
Periodically glance at the top of the tree during the back cut to assure the tree is going to fall in the desired direction.
•
If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction, or if the saw gets caught or hung up during the fall, leave the saw and
save yourself!
Proper Procedure for Tree Felling
•
Felling a tree — When bucking and felling operations are
being performed by two or more persons, at the same
time, the felling operation should be separated from the
bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the
height of the tree being felled. Trees should not be felled
in a manner that would endanger any person, strike any
utility line or cause any property damage. If the tree does
make contact with any utility line, the utility company
should be notified immediately.
•
Operator should keep on the uphill side of terrain as the
tree is likely to roll or slide after it is felled.
•
Pick your escape route (or routes in case the intended
route is blocked). Clear the immediate area around the
tree and make sure there are no obstructions in your
planned path of retreat. Clear the path of safe retreat
approximately 135° from the planned line of fall. See Fig
17.
