CUTTING A FALLEN TREE (BUCKING)
Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree to the desired
log size.
Important Points
• Cut only one log at a time.
• Cut shattered wood very carefully, sharp pieces of wood
could be flung toward operator.
• Use a sawhorse to cut small logs. Never allow another
person to hold the log while cutting and never hold the log
with your leg or foot.
• Do not cut in an area where logs, limbs and roots are
tangled such as in a blown down area. Drag the logs into a
clear area before cutting by pulling out exposed and cleared
logs first.
