REMOVING BUTTRESS ROOTS
A buttress root is a large root extending from the trunk of
the tree above the ground. Remove large buttress roots
before felling. Make the horizontal cut into the buttress fi rst,
followed by the vertical cut. Remove the resulting loose
section from the work area. Follow the correct tree felling
procedure after removing the large buttress roots.
BUCKING A LOG
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make
sure your footing is fi rm and your weight is evenly distributed
on both feet. When possible, the log should be raised and
supported by the use of limbs, logs or chocks. Follow the
simple directions for easy cutting. When the log is supported
along its entire length, it is cut from the top (overbuck).
When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 the diameter
from the underside (underbuck). Then make the fi nished cut
by overbucking to meet the fi rst cut.
When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 the
diameter from the top (overbuck). Then make the fi nished
cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the fi rst cut.
1/3
When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of
the log. To maintain control when "cutting through", 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.

LIMBING A TREE
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree. When
limbing, leave larger lower limbs to support the log off the
ground. Remove the small limbs in one cut. Branches under
tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding
the chainsaw.
SPRINGPOLES
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling
that is bent under tension by other wood so that it springs
back if the wood holding it is cut or removed.
On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of
springing back to the upright position during the bucking
cut to separate the log from the stump. Watch out for
springpoles—they are dangerous. Do not attempt to cut
bent branches or stumps that are under tension unless you
are professionally trained and competent to do so.
WARNING! Springpoles are dangerous and could strike
the operator, causing the operator to lose control of the
chainsaw. This could result in a severe or fatal injury to the
operator. Cutting spring poles should be done by trained
users.
