On largediameter trees, stop theback cut
beforeitisdeepenoughforthetreetoeither
fallor settle back on thestump. Theninsert
softwoodenorplasticwedgesintothecutso
they do not touch the chain. The wedges can
bedrivenin,littlebylittle,tohelpjackthetree
over.See Figure 16.
 Astreestartstofall,stopthechainsawandput
it down immediately. Retreat along the cleared
path,butwatchtheactionincasesomething
fallsyourway.Bealertforoverheadlimbsor
branches that may fall and watch your footing.
WARNING:
Nevercutthroughtothenotchwhenmakinga
backcut. The hinge controls the fall of the tree,
this is the section of wood between the notch
and backcut.
BUCKING
See Figures 17 - 20.
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.
OPERATION
Keepaclearcuttingarea.Makesurethatnoob-
jects can contact the guide bar nose and chain
during cutting, this can cause kickback.
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.
Sometimesitisimpossibletoavoidpinching(with
juststandard cuttingtechniques) or difficultto
predictwhichwayalogwillsettlewhencut.To
avoidpinchingwhilecutting,rotateormovethe
logsothatthepinchiseliminated.
BUCKING LOGS UNDER STRESS
See Figures 19 - 20.
Whenthelogissupportedalongitsentirelength,it
shouldbecutfromthetoporoverbucking.
Whenthelogissupportedononeend,cut1/3the
diameter from the underside or underbucking. Then
makethefinishingcutbyoverbuckingtomeetthe
first cut.
