At 9:30 a.m. on December 7, 20178, Employee #1 was on the ground operating a Stihl chainsaw to make cuts to the base of a dead tree that was being removed.

A coworker was in the cab of a Case 580 Super M bucket loader/backhoe to use the backhoe bucket to push the tree in the desired direction of fall. Employee #1 was operating a Stihl chainsaw to make cuts to a dead tree that was being removed along side a small country road. The initial notch cuts had been made to both sides of the tree.
