REMOVING BUTTRESS ROOTS
(Fig.30)
1. A buttress root is a large root extending from the trunk of the tree above the
ground. Remove large buttress roots prior to felling. Make the horizontal cut
into the buttress first, followed by the vertical cut (Fig.32).
2. Remove the resulting loose section from the work area. Follow the correct tree
felling procedure after you have removed the large buttress roots (Fig.33).

WARNING:
The reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain
is moving.
Thus, the operator must be ready to control the tendency for the product to pull
away (forward motion) when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar. Engage always
firmly the bumper spike to avoid such movement. The product can be pushed
backwards (towards the operator) when cutting along the top edge. To avoid this
make sure the chain is not jammed when cutting along the top edge (Fig.36).
