Bucking a Log (Fig . 18)
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is im-
portant 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
can contact the guide bar nose and chain
during cutting; this can cause kickback.
Overbucking
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
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. 19).
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. 20).
