By lying the chainsaw on its side, you may chop branches on the upper side of the tree trunk. If you have a decent working height, clip branches from the underside of the tree trunk at the same time. Depending on how the branches are tensioned, cut them at the right angle. Then lift the saw up and pull it along the ground to bring it out of the tree. This is the easiest way to cut down a tree. However, it's not recommended for beginners because they may not be careful not to touch the hot motor while cutting branches close to the trunk. A more dangerous method is called "out-of-the-bucket cutting". It involves removing all the trees from the area where the tree is standing before starting work on it. This makes sure that there are no hidden rocks or other hazards underneath the tree that could cause serious injury if you hit them with the saw blade. Out-of-the-bucket cutting is usually done by digging a large hole under the tree and then removing it using a tractor or other heavy equipment. The hole should be deep enough to allow you to reach inside and move any small branches without risk of them breaking off. Finally, you can use a chainsaw to chop down a tree if all the other methods fail. But this should only be done by an experienced operator who knows how to protect themselves from possible injuries that may arise during the process.
