If you mean a tree that will come down and crush the blade ,according to my Husky manual you just keep making small v notches until the tree sags to the ground and supports itself . Otherwise you need to chain saw to get the stuck one out lol.
 
Same as removeing a limb,make a "hog's head". Cut 25% through from bottm,move a distance equal to 25% of diameter toward heavy side and cut from top til limb snap's off leaving a stump that look's like a hog's snoot.
 
How much of the top can you remove? Most tree sevices cut from the top down to avoid what you are asking about. Yes, cut a notch on bottom like the other reply. Then a slow cut from the top till it slowly sags. This is a very tricky cut to do and you really need to be careful. Watch a few U tube videos and see how some of those guys do it. Gives you a whole new outlook!
 
how big thru is the tree? 1 ft? 2 ft? 6 in? I think the other instructions are for a small tree. Timber trees with a lean are cut in a different manner.

I have had this happen rarely even though I was careful to avoid pinching the chain. Luckily I keep two 42 cc Poulan Pros in case a fuel line breaks or a chain becomes too loose. I once had to replace a bar that bent when I was freeing it with the other saw.
 
Me and a young man have been felling some trees and I was talking to him about how to notch and back cut. We happen to have a chance to talk to a logger at lunch that day. Well, it turns out there are newer more accepted ways to make chain saw cuts. I was pretty surprised.

For your note I Googled "Chain Saw Cuts for Felling Trees" and get all kinds of hits and all kinds of illustrations on how to do it. He is one of the links:

Good luck and be safe.
