56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS 20" CHAIN SAW — CS2000/CS2000-FC 37
BUCKING A LOG (Fig. 21)
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is
important to make sure your footing is
firm 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.
WARNING:
Keep a clear-cutting
area. Make sure that no objects can
contact the guide bar nose and chain
during cutting; this can cause kickback.
Overbucking
Begin on the top side of the log with the
bottom of the saw against the log; exert
light pressure downward. Note that the
saw will tend to pull away from you.
Underbucking
Begin on the underside of the log with the
top of the saw against the log; exert light
pressure upward. During underbucking,
the saw will tend to push back at you. Be
prepared for this reaction and hold the
saw firmly to maintain control.
◾
When the log is supported along its entire length, it should be cut from the top
(overbucking) (Fig. 22).
◾
When the log is supported on only one end, cut 1/3 the diameter from the
underside (underbucking). Then make the finishing cut by overbucking to meet
the first cut (Fig. 23).
◾
When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 of that diameter from the top
overbuck. Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the
first cut (Fig. 24).
