OPERATION
REMOVING BUTTRESS ROOTS (See Fig. 14)
A buttress root is a large root extending from the trunk of the tree above the ground. Remove
vertical cut. Remove the resulting loose section from the work area. Follow the correct tree felling
procedure as stated in Proper Procedure For Tree Felling after you have removed the large
buttress roots.
BUCKING (See Fig. 15)
Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree to the desired log length.
Always make sure your footing is secure and your weight is distributed evenly on both
feet.
Cut only one log at a time.
Support small logs on a saw horse or another log while bucking.
Keep a clear cutting area. Make sure no objects can contact the guide bar nose and chain
during cutting, because this can cause kickback.
When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side of the log. To maintain complete
control of the chainsaw when cutting through the log, release the cutting pressure near
the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chainsaw handles. Do not let the chain
contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you
move the chainsaw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.
