Bucking A Log
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 with limbs, logs, or chocks. Follow the below
guidelines for easy cutting.
•
When the log is supported along its entire length make your cuts from the
top. This is called Overbucking (
Figure 19
).
•
When the log is supported on one end, make your first cut 1/3 the diameter
from the underside, this is called Underbucking (
Figure 20
). Then make the
finish cut by Overbucking to meet your first cut.
•
When the log is supported on both ends, make your first cut by Overbucking
1/3 the diameter from the top. Make your finish cut by Underbucking the
lower 2/3 to meet the first cut (
Figure 21
).
•
When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log. When
cutting through the log, maintain control by releasing the cutting pressure
near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the Chainsaw Handles.
Don’t let the Chain contact the ground as this will cause damage to the
Chain. After completing the cut, wait for the Saw Chain to stop before you
move the Chainsaw to your next cut.
