ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a safer and better power tool for cutting wood. It combines a power driven bar type chain saw and a work positioning means to make the saw also a tool for moving wood to be cut into a better and safer position for cutting before cutting. There are a very large number of chain saw accidents. These accidents are primarily caused by inexperienced operators cutting wood from an unsafe position. They over-reach and otherwise unsafely cut wood primarily because they don't take the time to set their saw down and with their hands move wood to be cut into a safe position before cutting. They haven't had a tool with them to use for safely moving wood before they cut it. The invention herein makes the bar type chain such a tool in addition to being a saw. The attachment extends lengthwise from the nose of any type guide bar on the saw, and having at least one hook and point extends the users reach and also enables the user to use the chain saw as a tool to move wood into a safe position for cutting without setting down the saw or stepping from the users position. The attachment also prevents kickback, chain damage by preventing the chain from hitting ground, aids limbing, and also aids attaching the guide bar and chain to the engine or motor and the tensioning of the chain.
