BUCKING
Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree to the desired log length.
•
Always make sure your footing is secure and your weight is distributed evenly on both feet.
•
Cut only one log at a time.
•
Support small logs on a saw horse or another log while bucking.
•
Keep a clear cutting area. Make sure that no objects can contact the guide bar nose and
chain during cutting as this can cause kickback. Refer to Kickback earlier in this manual.
•
When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side of the log. To maintain complete
control of the chain saw when cutting through the log, release the cutting pressure near
the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Do not let the chain
contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move
the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.
BUCKING WITH A WEDGE
If the wood diameter is large enough for you to insert a soft bucking wedge without touching
the chain, you should use the wedge to hold the cut open to prevent pinching.
