Techniques used for tree cutting

• Calculate the height of the tree.
• Based on the height find out the probable directions in which the tree may fell and the direction you want the tree to fall.
• Clear the area where the tree may fall after cutting and the area where you want the tree to fall.
• Try the rope on the middle of the tree or slightly above the middle portion of the tree.
• Hand over the other end of the rope to the persons who are waiting nearby to help you. Initially cut a V shaped notch on the tree on the side where you want the tree to fall. This notch can be about knee high and should be near center of the trunk.
• Now start cutting on the other side of the already cut notch until you reach the notch.
• When the tree starts falling move away from the tree.
• If the tree is not falling or get obstructed on another tree ask your friend’s help who are holding the other side of the rope.
• Let them pull the rope gently so that the tree falls in the area where you planned it to fall.
• If any problem arises in between do not go near the tree with the chainsaw in your hand as tree is a massive object and you cannot control the falling process of the tree single handed.
