Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make sure
your footing is 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 (Fig. 40), it is cut from
the top (overbuck).
> When the log is supported on
one end (Fig. 41), cut 1/3 the
diameter from the underside
(underbuck). Then make the
nished cut by overbucking to
meet the rst cut.
> When the log is supported
on both ends (Fig. 42), cut
1/3 the diameter from the top
(overbuck). Then make the
nishedcut by underbucking
the lower 2/3 to meet the
rstcut.
> When bucking on a slope
always stand on the uphill
side of the log (Fig. 43). When
“cutting through”, to maintain
complete control release the
cutting pressure near the end
of the cut without relaxing your
grip on the product handles.
Don’t let the chain contact the
ground. After completing the
cut, wait for the saw chain
to stop before you move the
product. Always stop the motor
before moving from tree to tree.
