REMOVING BUTTRESS ROOTS (See Figure 20)
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 Figure 21)
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 that no objects can contact the guide bar nose and chain during cutting, this
can cause kickback. Refer to Kickback earlier in this manual.
•
When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side of the log. To maintain complete control of the chain saw
when cutting through the log, release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the
chain saw handles. Do not let the chain contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop
before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.
