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.
WARNING:
area. Make sure that no objects
can contact the guide bar nose and
chain during cutting; this can cause
kickback.
Overbucking (Fig. 17a)
Begin on the top side of the log with the
bottom of the saw against the log; exert
light pressure downward. Note that the
saw will tend to pull away from you.
Underbucking (Fig. 17b)
Begin on the underside of the log with the top of the saw against the log; exert light
pressure upward. During underbucking, the saw will tend to push back at you. Be
prepared for this reaction and hold the
saw firmly to maintain control.
◾
When the log is supported along its
entire length, it should be cut from
the top (overbucking) (Fig. 18).
◾
When the log is supported on only
one end, cut 1/3 the diameter from
the underside (underbucking).
Then make the finishing cut by
overbucking to meet the first cut
(Fig. 19).
