Underbucking; Log Supported Along The Entire Length; Log Supported One End; Log Supported Both Ends - EGO Power+ CS1800 Operator's Manual

Underbucking

Begin on the underside of the log with the
top of the saw against the log; exert light
pressure upward. During underbucking,
the saw will tend to push back at you. Be
prepared for this reaction and hold the
saw firmly to maintain control.
◾
When the log is supported along its
entire length, it should be cut from
the top (overbucking) (Fig. 21).
◾
When the log is supported on only
one end, cut 1/3 the diameter from
the underside (underbucking).
Then make the finishing cut by
overbucking to meet the first cut
(Fig. 22).
◾
When the log is supported on both
ends, cut 1/3 of that diameter from
the top overbuck. Then make the
finished cut by underbucking the
lower 2/3 to meet the first cut
(Fig. 23).
