Start by taking a good look at the area. Be sure there are no structures, power lines or pets close to a radius equal to the height of the tree. Keep people at a distance at least double the height of the tree.

If you use your chainsaw sensibly, follow correct techniques and maintain your saw to the manufacturer’s instructions, it will provide you with safe and troublefree service.
If you’re a chainsaw novice, it’s an excellent idea to get training from a qualified person. This way you learn by hands-on experience and avoid developing unsafe habits right from the start. Your chainsaw dealer may be able to provide this instruction or put you in contact with a qualified instructor.

To cut down a tree, start by assessing the tree's size, shape, and location to determine the best approach. Begin by removing any obstructions, such as branches or fencing, to create a safe working area. Next, identify the direction of the tree's fall and plan your cut accordingly. Make a notch cut on the side of the tree you want it to fall towards, about one-third of the way through the trunk, using a chainsaw or handsaw. Cut from the top of the notch down to a depth of about 2-3 feet, creating a hinge that will allow the tree to fall safely. Then, make a backcut from the opposite side of the trunk, about 1-2 inches above the notch cut, to release the tension and allow the tree to fall. Finally, carefully guide the tree as it falls and remove any remaining branches or debris. Always wear proper safety gear, including gloves, goggles, and a hard hat, and consider hiring a professional arborist if you're unsure or uncomfortable with the process.
