Bucking
Bucking is the sawing of a log or
fallen tree into smaller pieces.
There are a few basic rules which
apply to all bucking operations.
• Keep both hands on the handles
at all times.
• Support logs if possible.
• When cutting on a slope or
hillside, always stand uphill.
• Never stand on the log.
Keep in mind that the wood is
heavy and that it will bend and
pinch the saw if improperly
supported. The trunk will weaken
at the point where you make the
cut unless the tree is lying on
perfectly flat ground or supported
as shown. If you make the cut with
the tree on the ground, don’t let the
saw’s chain dig into the earth; it is harmful for the saw, and you stand a
good chance of being struck by flying debris.
To cut the trunk, use the bucking and two-cut sequence shown. The first
cut should be no deeper than one-third the trunk diameter.
