the workpiece with your foot, and do not allow
anyone else to hold or steady it.

Felling a tree
CAUTION:
Felling work may only be per-
formed by trained persons.
When cross-cutting/bucking and felling operations are
being performed by two or more persons at the same
time, the felling operations should be separated from
the crosscutting/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
The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side
of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill
after it is felled.
An escape path should be planned and cleared as nec-
essary before cuts are started. The escape path should
extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected
line of fall as illustrated.
