OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
10. Bucking A Log
Bucking is cutting a log into lengths. It is important 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 these simple directions for easy cutting.
WARNING
• Keep the cutting area clear. Make sure that no
objects can contact the guide bar nose and chain
during cutting. This can cause kickback.
Overbucking (Fig. 10a).
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 (Fig. 10b).
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. 10c).
