Not sure what your level of experience is, but this is a good beginners guide to tree felling, put out by OSH here in New Zealand. It's not up to the level of professional training, but it has the basic things to do, and common problems to watch for.

Is there anything in particular that's making you nervous? If so feel free to ask, otherwise, plan your felling properly, use the right techniques and BE CAREFULL  Smiley
