If the tree does not fall, force the fall by introducing
more wedge into the tree.
In the moment that the tree begins to fall, move away
in a sideways and backwards direction with regard to
the direction of the fall of the tree until it is at a safe
distance (distance greater than the height of the tree
being cut).
It is essential to move away from the tree falling
because at moment the tree starts to hit the ground,
free flying branches (or parts of them) are split
backwards and sideways and hit or cut the user.
When you are going to bring a tree down always notify
all persons who are around before starting and again
just before the end of the horizontal cut and the tree
starts to fall.
Always be sure to be in a stable position and never lean
against the tree that is about to fall.
If you work on a slope stay at the top to prevent the
falling of the tree rolling toward you and hitting you.
Follow all of the "safety and precaution
rules" to prevent possible bouncing of the
chainsaw.
7.4. CUTTING A TRUNK PLACED ON THE GROUND
When a trunk is fully supported on the ground, cut the
first half of the trunk from above, then turn it halfway
around and cut the rest.
If the trunk is supported at the sides (see next diagram)
you must make a cut through the top half (1) and then
cut the rest from the bottom (2).
By doing it this way, you will avoid the internal
tension of the trunk closing the cut, thus blocking the
chainsaw´s chain and rod.
If you are going to make a cut in a log supported on
one end (diagram below) you shall proceed in reverse.
First cut the half of the trunk from below (1) and then
finish the cut from the top (2).
7.5. CUTTING THE BRANCHES OF A FELLED TREE
It is important to verify that the branches are not folded
and/or tensed. If the branch to be cut is folded or
tensed, it could fly out at you when being cut.
To cut a
in this case, cut the branch a ¼ of the total of the
branch on the side in which the branch
