A Direction of fall
B Escape path (or retreat path)
–
Establish paths of escape for
everyone concerned – opposite to
direction of fall at about 45°.
–
Remove all obstacles from escape
paths.
–
Place all tools and equipment a safe
distance away from the tree, but not
on the escape paths.
–
Always keep to the side of the falling
tree and only walk away along the
preplanned escape path.
–
On steep slopes, plan escape
routes parallel to the slope.
–
When walking away along the
escape path, watch out for falling
limbs and watch the top of the tree.
Preparing work area at base of tree
–
First clear the tree base and work
area from interfering limbs and
brush to provide a secure footing.
–
Clean lower portion of tree base
(e.g. with an axe) – sand, stones
and other foreign objects will dull the
saw chain.
–
Make the vertical cut first, then the
horizontal – but only if the wood is
sound
