BUCKING
!_WARNING:
Recommend that first time users
should practice cutting on a saw horse,
Cutting a felled tree or log into lengths. How you
should cut depends on how the log is supported. Use
a saw horse (figure O) whenever possible.
Always start a cut with the chain running at full speed.
• Place the bottom spike (t 9) of the chain saw behind
the area of the initial cut as shown in figure P.
• Turn the chain saw on then rotate the chain and bar
down into the tree, using the spike as a hinge.
• Once the chain saw gets to a 45 degree angle, level
the chain saw again and repeat steps until you cut
fully through.
• When the tree is supported along its entire length,
make a cut from the top (overbuck), but avoid cutting
the earth as this will dull your saw quickly.
• Figure Q- When supported
at one end
First, cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside
(underbuck). Then make the finished cut by
overbucking to meet the first cut.
• Figure R- When supported
at both ends
First, cut 1/3 down from the top overbuck. Then
make the finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3
to meet the first cut.
• When on a slope
Always stand on the uphill side of the log. When
"cutting through", to maintain complete control
release the cutting pressure near the end of the
cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw
handles. Don't 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
