Felling a tree can be a tricky (and dangerous!) task, so it's important to follow the proper steps in order to do it safely. Firstly, you should select the tree you want to fell and make sure that there are no power lines or other obstacles nearby that could interfere with your work. You'll also need to plan out how you're going to cut down the tree and make sure there's nothing in its path which could get damaged by falling limbs or the entire trunk. Then, mark where you want to make your cuts with a bright paint or spray on marker.
Once everything is set up, it's time for the actual cutting! Start by making an undercut into the side of the tree opposite from where you intend it to fall. This will help ensure that it falls in the direction you've planned for it. Then, use a chainsaw (or axe) and begin making back cuts parallel to each other about three quarters of the way through on one side of the tree trunk. Make sure not to go all through as this could cause instability and lead to an unexpected collapse!

Finally, when both back cuts are finished and before taking any additional steps, inspect around and below the tree for any hazards or risks then take adequate safety precautions such as wearing protective gear like eye protection and gloves when handling tools. Once everything is checked off, finish making your cuts until finally sawing all through until the tree falls down! Now that wasn't too bad was it? Wow!!!
Now comes clean up: remove any branches still attached near ground level using loppers or a pruning saw if necessary; trim away any protruding twigs or edges; clear away debris; and finally double check again for any leftover stumps before calling it quits! That's really all there is too it - safe felling made simple!
