Bucking a log (Fig.12-15)
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 direction for easy cutting:
a) When the log is supported along the entire length, it is
cut from the top (overbuck). (Fig.12)
b) When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 of the
diameter from the underside (underbuck). Then make
the finished cut by overbucking to meeting the first cut.
(Fig.13)
c) 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

d) When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill
side of the log. When cutting through, to maintain
complete control, release the cutting pressure near the
end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain
saw handles. (Fig.15).
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.
