BUCKING A LOG

WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kick-
back can result in severe injury or death.
See Kickback, pages 4 and 5, to avoid
risk of kickback.
WARNING:
• If on slope, make sure log will not roll
down hill. Secure log by using wooden
stakes. Drive wooden stakes into
ground on downhill side of log. Stand
on uphill side of log while cutting. Log
may roll after cutting.
• Never try cutting through two logs at
same time. This could increase the
risk of kickback.
• While cutting log, never hold log with
your hand, leg, or foot.
• While cutting log, never allow another
person to hold log.
• Turn off and unplug saw before mov-
ing from one place to another.
Bucking a log is cutting a log into sections. Make
sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your
weight evenly on both feet. When possible, raise log
or section off ground. Do this by using limbs, logs,
chocks, etc.
When cutting through log, maintain control by re-
ducing cutting pressure near end of cut. Do not relax
your grip on chain saw handles. Do not let moving
chain touch ground. Ground will dull moving chain.
After cutting through log, release trigger to turn saw
off before moving saw.
Follow directions below to buck a log.
