10.4 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 the simple directions for easy cutting. When the log is supported along its entire
length (Fig. 27), it is cut from the top (overbuck).
 When the log is supported on one end (Fig. 28), cut 1/3 the diameter from the underside
(underbuck). Then make the finished cut by overbucking to meet the first cut.
 When the log is supported on both ends (Fig. 29), cut 1/3 the diameter from the top
(overbuck).Then make the finished cut by underbucking the lower 2/3 to meet the first cut.
 When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log (Fig. 30). When
“cutting through”, to maintain complete control release the cutting pressure near the end of
the cut without relaxing your grion the product handles. Don’t let the chain contact the
ground. After completing the cut, wait for the saw chain to stop before you move the
product. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.
10.5 Bucking a log
 Support small logs on a sawing stand or another log while bucking (Fig. 31).
 If the wood diameter is large enough for you to insert a soft bucking wedge without
touching the chain, you should use the wedge to hold the cut open to prevent pinching
(Fig. 32).
