Different techniques for the felling cut
When sawing the felling cut, it is important to remember two things: The hinge should have a uniform thickness with the right dimension, and that you insert a felling wedge or breaking bar before the tree can pinch the guide bar. There are a number of different techniques for making a safe felling cut. The technique you should use depends, among other things, on the tree size and slope, and how big your chainsaw is.
