Your first point of order is to ensure you have the proper safety gear to perform the job. It includes a safety helmet, eyes, hearing, chainsaw protection, footwear, gloves, and first aid. Your safety during tree felling should be your primary concern. Tree removal can potentially be very dangerous, especially with large trees.
Once you have your safety gear ready, it's time to evaluate the tree's height, lean, and potential hazards in the way. Identifying which way the tree leans is important as it will determine where to position yourself and in which direction the tree will fall. In addition, you should identify and remove any hazards that may cause an obstruction or harm to you or the property.
After completing the tree and site assessment, collect your tools and equipment to complete the job. Next, cut a notch in the tree and make a backcut before evacuating the area on the emergency escape route. Congratulations! You've just felled a tree!
