BUCKING A LOG

!WARNING

Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in severe injury or death. See Kickback, page 3 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 moving from one place to another.

Log Supported On One End

1.Make first cut on underside of log (see Figure 12). Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of log. This cut will keep section from splintering when cut.

2.Make second cut directly above first cut. Cut down to meet first cut. This cut will keep log from pinching guide bar and chain.

!CAUTION

Seek professional help if facing conditions beyond your ability.

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 cutting through log, release trigger to turn saw off before moving saw.

Follow directions below to buck a log.

Entire Length Of Log On Ground

Cut log from top (see Figure 11).

Log Supported On Both Ends

1.Make first cut from above log (see Figure 13). 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 pinching guide bar and chain.
