Abstract:

The bar of a chain saw is attached to a jig which includes a support block pivotally attached to a pair of spaced support arms extending outwardly therefrom for supporting a log or branch to be cut, and fingers extending angularly forwardly and upwardly from the ends of the support arms for scooping up logs and branches from the ground onto the support arms and into contact with a pair of spaced upright, toothed stop arms on the support arms which prevent kickback or twisting of the log or branch as it is being cut by the chain saw as the support block is pivoted relative to the support arms between non-use and use positions.
