Bucking a log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important to make
sure that 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 directions for easy cutting. When the
log is supported along its entire length, it is cut from the
top (overbuck).
When the log is supported on one end, cut 1/3 the diameter
from the underside (underbuck). Make the finished cut by
overbucking to meet the first cut.

When the log is supported on both ends, cut 1/3 the
diameter from the top (overbuck). Make the finished cut by
underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut.

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 chainsaw handles. Do
not let the chain contact the ground. After completing the
cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the
chainsaw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree
to tree.
Limbing a tree
Limbing is the process of removing the branches from
a fallen tree. When limbing, leave larger lower limbs to
support the log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in
one cut. Branches under tension should be cut from the
bottom up to avoid binding the chainsaw.
Springpoles
A springpole is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling
that is bent under tension by other wood so that it springs
back if the wood holding it is cut or removed.
On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of
springing back to the upright position during the bucking
cut to separate the log from the stump. Watch out for
springpoles—they are dangerous. Do not attempt to cut
bent branches or stumps that are under tension unless you
are professionally trained and competent to do so.
WARNING
Springpoles are dangerous and could strike the operator,
causing the operator to lose control of the chainsaw.
This could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator.
This should be done by trained users.
