Figure 17 - Bucking Log When Log Is
Supported On Both Ends
Log Supported On Both Ends
1. Make first cut from above log (see Fig-
ure 17). Cut 1/3 through diameter of
log. This cut will keep section from
splintering when cut.
2. Make second cut on underside of log,
directly under first cut. Use top of guide
bar to make this cut. Cut up to meet
first cut. This will keep log from pinch-
ing guide bar and chain.
BUCKING A LOG
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. Stand slightly to left of saw. This keeps
your body from being in direct line with
chain. When possible, raise log or section
off ground. Do this by using limbs, logs,
chocks, etc.
When cutting through log, maintain control
by reducing 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 cut-
ting through log, release trigger to turn saw
off before moving saw.
Follow directions in column 2 to buck a log.
WARNING: Avoid kickback.
Kickback can result in severe in-
jury or death. See
Kickback, pages
3 and 4, 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 be-
fore moving from one place to
another.
CAUTION: Seek professional
help if facing conditions beyond
your ability.
