So, I've received some great help figuring out my new chainsaw. I am very grateful for this. The timing is excellent because a tree came down in the yard and I'll need to clear it. I'm looking for advice because I've never done this before.
A quick search for tips let me learn about "tension" and "pressure" sides of a tree, as well as relief cuts. I'm wondering what my steps should be with this tree, however.
Where would you start? Or, better yet, where should I, as a total beginner, start? For safety I currently have quality ear muffs/protectors, gloves, and a full face polycarbonate shield.
p.s. I think this tree is actually bigger than it looks.
