.
Carefully
plan
your
sawtng operation in ad-
vance.
.
Clear the
work
area. You need
a clear area
all around the tree
so
you
can have secure
footing.
.
The
chain saw operator
should
keep
on
the
uphill side o1 the terrain
as
the
tree
is
likely
to
roll
or slide downhill
after
it is felled.
.
Study the natural conditions
that can cause
the tree to fall in
a
pafticular
direction.
