When the log is supported on one end as illustrated in Figure 15, cut 1/3 of the diam- eter from the underside (underbuck). Then make the finishing cut by overbucking the top 2/3 to meet the first cut.

When the log is supported on both ends, as illustrated in Figure 16, cut 1/3 of that diam- eter from the top, overbuck. Then make the finishing cut by underbucking the lower 2/ 3 to meet the first cut.

BUCKING A LOG

Bucking a log 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 as illustrated in Figure 14, it is cut from the top (overbuck).

When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, because the log may roll after cut. When “cutting through,” to maintain complete control, reduce the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Don’t let the chain contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the chain saw to stop before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree.
