Safety Setup Bucking a Log (continued) When the log is supported on both ends, as illustrated in Figure J, 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. 1st cut overbuck (1/3 diameter) to avoid splintering 2nd cut underbuck (2/3 diameter) to meet 1st cut (to avoid pinching) Figure J: Log Supported Both Ends When bucking on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the log, as illustrated in Figure K. When "cutting through", to maintain complete control release 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 saw chain to stop before you move the chain saw. Always stop the motor before moving from tree to tree. Stand on uphill side when cutting because log may roll Figure K: Bucking a Log Operation Maintenance Item 67255 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Page 15
