BUCKING A LOG

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.

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. 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.
