BUCK A LOG
To buck is to cut a log into lengths.
CAUTION
Do not let the chain
saw touch the ground.
It is important to make sure your footing is se-
cure and your weight is evenly distributed. If
possible, lift the log and hold it with branches,
logs or chock. Obey the instructions below:
When the log is held along the full length (I),
cut it from the top (J).
When the log is held on one end (K),
1. Cut the rst time 1/3 of the diameter from
the bottom (L).
2. Cut the second time from the top (M) to
complete the bucking.
When the log is held on two ends (N),
1. Cut the rst time 1/3 of the diameter from
the top (M).
2. Cut the second time lower 2/3 from the
bottom to complete the bucking (L).
When the log is on a slope,
1. Stand on the uphill side.
2. Control the chain saw completely.
3. Hold the chain saw handles tightly.
4. Release the cutting pressure near the end
of the cut.
When bucking is complete (O),
1. Wait for the chain to stop (P).
2. Ensure the chainsaw is turned off.
3. Check for hazards before you move to
