To Underbuck is when the log is
supported on one end, and a cut 1/3
the diameter of the log is made from
the underside of the log. Then, the
finished cut is made by overbucking
to meet the first cut.

STAND ON UPHILL
SIDE WHEN CUTTING
BECAUSE LOG MAY ROLL
13.
When bucking on a slope, always
stand on the uphill side of the log.
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. Do not allow
the Saw Chain (72) to contact the
ground. After completing the cut,
wait for the Saw Chain to stop before
moving the Chain Saw. Always turn
off the Chain Saw before moving from
tree to tree.
