Lodged Trees
WARNING!
A lodged tree is a dangerous situation. Do not try to
fell a tree in which another tree is lodged.
Do not fell another tree onto a lodged tree.
Do not work inside the danger area of a lodged tree
and do not allow people inside danger area.
Some Suggestions as to How You can Take
Down a Lodged Tree
If the tree you have felled gets hung up, do nothing
hastily. Take a rest and give some thought to the
situation in peace and quiet. Consider various
alternatives and always choose a safe method even
if it takes a little longer.
Simple Hang-Ups Rolling the Tree
1. Determine direction tree can most easily be rolled
down.
2. Cut tree loose from hinge, leaving a little on the side
you intend it to roll down on.
3. Using a cant hook or similar tool, roll the tree away
from you.
4. Lift with a straight back.
! CAUTION!
If you are not properly positioned when the tree
starts to move, you might get caught by the cant
hook or the tree itself.
If the tree is wedged in another tree's branches, you can
exert more rolling force using a cant hook and a long
pole. Remember to lift correctly with a straight back.
