Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering.
Second, underbuck to meet first cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 13c).
NOTE: The best way to hold a log while bucking is to use a sawhorse. When
this is not possible, the log should be raised and supported by the limb
stumps or by using supporting logs. Be sure the log being cut is securely
supported.
10.8.4
Bucking using a sawhorse
For personal safety and ease of cutting, the correct position for vertical bucking is essential
(Fig. 14).
Vertical cutting:
Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep the saw to the right of your body while
cutting.
Keep the left arm as straight as possible.
Keep weight on both feet.
Caution: while the saw is cutting, be sure the chain and bar are being
properly lubricated.
