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 by the use
of limbs, logs or chocks.
> Follow the simple directions for
easy cutting. When the log is
supported along its entire length
(Fig. 31), it is cut from the top
(overbuck).
> When the log is supported on one
end (Fig. 32), cut 1/3 the diameter
from the underside (underbuck).
Then make the finished cut by
overbucking to meet the first cut.
> When the log is supported on
both ends (Fig. 33), cut 1/3 the
diameter from the top (overbuck).
Then 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
(Fig. 34). When “cutting through”,
to maintain complete control
release the cutting pressure near
the end of the cut without relaxing
your grip on the product handles.
Don’t let the chain contact the
ground. After completing the cut,
wait for the saw chain to stop
before you move the product.
Always stop the motor before
moving from tree to tree.
