Bucking
Bucking is cutting a log into sections.
WARNING
When bucking, do not stand on the log.
Make sure the log will not roll downhill. If
on a slope, stand on the uphill side of the
log. Watch out for rolling logs.
Cut only one log at a time.
Shattered wood should be cut very
carefully. Sharp slivers of wood may be
caught and flung in the direction of the
operator of the saw.
20
When cutting small logs, place log
through "V"-shaped supports on top of a
sawhorse. Never permit another person
to hold the log. Never hold the log with
your leg or foot.

Logs under strain:
Risk of pinching! Always start relieving
cut (1) at compression side.Then make
bucking cut (2) at tension side. If the saw
pinches, stop the engine and remove it
from the log.
Only properly trained professionals
should work in an area where the logs,
limbs and roots are tangled. Working in
"blow down" areas is extremely
hazardous. Drag the logs into a clear
area before cutting. Pull out exposed
and cleared logs first.
Felling
Felling is cutting down a tree.
Before felling a tree, consider carefully
all conditions which may affect the
direction of fall.
