-- An escape path should be planned and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The escape
path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall as illustrated in
figure.
1. Felling direction 2. Danger zone 3. Escape route
When felling trees, follow the procedures below:
1. Cut a scarf as close to the ground as possible. First make the horizontal cut to a depth of 1/5 -1/3
of the trunk diameter. Do not make the scarf too large. Then make the diagonal cut.
NOTE: The scarf determines the direction in which the tree will fall, and guides it. It is made on
the side towards which the tree is to fall.
