Before Felling a Tree

1. Determine the direction of fall by

inspecting:

■ Tree shape and angle of lean.

■ Size, shape and placement of

limbs.

■ Location of nearby trees or other

obstacles.

■ Condition of the tree (damage,

disease, etc.).

■ Prevailing wind direction.

2. Clear a safe work area around the

tree. Be alert for loose or dead limbs

overhead. Clear an appropriate

escape path approximately 45° from

the direction of fall.

3. Notify nearby workers of your

intentions!

NOTE:

The Shindaiwa 357 Chain Saw is

equipped with a sliding trigger exten-
