The necessary equipment

Cutting equipment as well as personal protective equipment are required to fell a tree (PPE). 

Let’s start with the cutting tools: a chainsaw with a bar and, of course, a sharp chainsaw chain are required. To get a clean-cut, use the center section of the bar and run the chain saw at maximum speed. To open up the cutting here and make it easier for the chainsaw blade to glide through the tree without becoming stuck, place wooden wedges under the chainsaw guide. 

To make the tree to take up less space after it falls, the branches upstream should be removed. A pruning harness, carabiners, ropes, lanyards, and pruning claws are required for this project: a pruning harness, carabiners, ropes, lanyards, and pruning claws. 

When it comes to PPE, it’s crucial to have everything you need to cover all of your exposed body parts (arms, hands, legs, feet, head). To protect oneself against bad chain saw usage, they should wear cut-resistant PPE such as anti-cut pants, cut-resistant vest, helmet, safety shoes, protective gloves, and goggles.

What is the right way to fell a tree?

The trunk’s natural inclination, the ground’s inclination, the direction and speed of the wind, and the distribution of the branches are all factors that influence a tree’s fall. This is why it’s so important to follow these simple recommendations when cutting down a tree  

Is it better to prune the branches before or after the tree is felled? 

The tree and its position to determine this. It is usual practice to chop the largest branches first to reduce the amount of space required for the tree to fall. If you want to fell down a tree in a tight spot, like directly next to your neighbor’s fence, you should first trim the limbs to reduce the tree’s mass.
