BUCKING TECHNIQUES
WARNING:
If saw becomes
pinched
or hung in a log, don't try to
force it out. You can lose control of the
saw resulting in injury and/or damage
to the saw. Stop the saw, drive a
wedge of plastic or wood into the cut
until the saw can be removed easily.
Restart the saw and carefully reenter
the cut. Do not use a metal wedge.
Do
not attempt to restart your saw when it
is pinched or hung in a log.
Use a wedge to remove pinched saw.
Turn saw OFF and use a plastic or
wooden wedge to force cut open.
Overeutting
begins on the top side of
the log with the bottom of the saw
against the log. When overcutting use
light downward pressure.
Overcutting
Undercutting
Undercutting
involves cutting on the
underside of the log with top of saw
against the log. When undercutting
use
light upward pressure. Hold saw firmly
and maintain control. The saw will tend
to push back toward you.
WARNING:
Never turn saw up-
side down to undercut,
The saw can-
not be controlled
in this position.
Always make your first cut on the com-
pression side of the log. The compres-
sion side of the log is where the pres-
sure of the log's weight is concentrated.

• Watch for logs with a compression
side to prevent the saw from pinch-
ing. See illustration
above for cutting
logs with a compression
side.
