As people begin to cleanup storm damage please observe safety precautions to prevent injury or death. If you are not experienced with woodcutting and the use of chainsaws and related equipment, hire someone who is qualified – the risk of injury is too great!!!

• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and use appropriate procedures.
• Watch for falling limbs.
• Avoid power lines! Leave pruning around power lines to power companies.
• Observe safety precautions with a chain saw.
• Clear the area before beginning to saw limbs or trees
o Determine the direction the tree will fall.
o Do not allow trees to fall into other tree branches.
o Plan an escape route in case the tree jumps off the stump when it is cut.

Again, if you do not have experience with chainsaws and woodcutting, or if you are not physically capable of the task, call a professional!
