פירוש על בבא קמא 3:7
Rambam on Mishnah Bava Kamma
It lets us know that the chopper, if he damages, he is obligated, whether he is on his own property or if he is not on his own property, and whether he damages in a place where many are found, and this is a public domain, or in a place where the many are not found, and this is a private domain.

English Explanation of Mishnah Bava Kamma
[If] a man was splitting wood in the private domain and injured anyone in the public domain, or if he was in the public domain and injured anyone in the private domain, or if he was in a private domain and injured anyone in another private domain, he is liable. Mishnah seven teaches that if a person while chopping wood damages another person, no matter where the chopping is done and no matter where the damages are done, the wood-chopper is liable.
