Wood extraction can be very dangerous and even life-threatening. It is never recommended to remove a tree on your own unless you are small and have confidence that you can handle it safely. Otherwise, tree removal should be left to professionally trained and professionally trained contractors of Tree Trimming Attleboro MA. If you have a tree on your property that is quite small but needs to be removed, you can do it yourself with the right tools, knowledge and planning.
Preparation of tree removal
Proper preparation for the removal of small trees involves the collection of all necessary supplies as well as a thorough inspection of the tree. Look to see if the tree leans to one side or the other, and plan an escape route if it doesn't fall as expected. Also check for obstacles in any tree direction, including vehicles, structures, and other trees. If you are sure that there is enough safe space for the tree to fall, you can pick up your equipment and tools. This includes:
Safety equipment (gloves, goggles, helmet, boots with steel toe, etc.)
chain saw
Ax or saw for metals
stairs
rope
portions
First aid kit
How to remove a tree
Once you have all your equipment and supplies, you can start removing the tree. First, use your ax to touch the bark several times, and some different places, to learn how solid or hollow the tree is. It is easier to find a less dense area to cut. Then plan on which side of the tree you want to cut. Look to see where the tree naturally rests; It is better to cut a tree in the direction that you want to fall naturally.
Make a horizontal cut at the hip height and approx. 1/3 of the tree. Do this on the side of the tree where you want it to fall. If you want the tree to fall to the right, have it cut on the same side so that it falls inward, towards the cut. The tree falls perpendicular to its horizontal cut. Your second cut should create a wedge in the tree. Then make the second angle cut from the first cut. It should look like a slice of lemon.
Your third cut is called a posterior cut and must be made on the opposite side of the wedge cut. This cut causes the tree to fall to the side of its wedge cut. Make it about 1.5 inches above the wedge cut and as thick as possible. You can also use a wedge to prevent the tree from settling on the chainsaw. Add more wedges as needed until the tree begins to fall. So run! But do not turn your back on the tree as it falls.
