5. Secure the fixed support panel (1)
in place between the long legs
using 6 Allen headed bolts and
the socket wrench supplied as
shown in Fig 3.

6. Attach the hinged support panel
(2) to the long legs using the 2 x 50
mm bolts & nuts.

7. Insert the pivot clamp mounting
bracket (7) into the top of the
long leg as shown in Fig 4.

• Take note of the way it is facing in
the diagram.

8. Using the large securing bolt,
secure the measuring rod
mounting bracket (9) to the bolt
hole in the pivot clamp mounting
bracket as shown in Fig 4.

9. Slide the measuring rod (6), into the hole in the measuring rod mounting
bracket (9) and secure with the handknob as shown in Fig 4. Press the
rubber end caps into place at the ends of the rod.

NOTE: The measuring rod can be adjusted horizontally to allow each log

to be cut equally to the desired length.

10. Take your chainsaw and secure it
between the two solid blocks on
the inside faces of the chainsaw
clamp as shown in Fig 5.

• Make sure that the chainsaw is at
90 degrees to the assembly
before tightening the clamp bolts
to grip the chainsaw in place.
Take care that the clamp blocks
grip the chain bar centrally and
are clear of the moving chain.

11. Attach the saw guard (11) to the
chainsaw clamp using the nut &
65mm bolt as shown in Fig 6. Do
not overtighten.

12. Once tightened, take the saw
and the clamp assembly together
and insert the pivot rod of the
clamp into the hole in the clamp
support. Secure in place with the
R-clip as shown in Fig 6.

13. Test the arc of travel to make sure that the chainsaw does not touch any
part of the log horse.

14. Adjust the height of the clamp
and measuring rod to suit the size
of the logs being cut as shown in
Fig 7.

NOTE: The chainsaw clamp support

can be adjusted vertically to
accommodate different
sized chain saws - the larger
and longer the saw, the
higher the pivot clamp
should be positioned.

15. Use the large securing bolt to
adjust the saw height, so that the
tip of your chainsaw ends just past the table and is able to cut completely
through the log.

The Log Horse is now ready for use.

SAFE OPERATION

The log horse should only be used on firm, level surfaces. It should not be used
for logs larger than those stated in the specification.

Chainsaws with a chain bar longer than 450 mm should not be used, since the
chain would protrude beyond the chain guard.

When using a chainsaw with the log horse it is essential that you follow all
safety guidelines in the instruction manual supplied with your chainsaw. You
should also follow any other appropriate health and safety regulations.

1. Ensure the nuts and bolts on the pivot clamp and guard are kept tight
before starting work.

2. Place the log on the log horse
and butt the end of the log up
against the measuring rod.

3. Hold the log down firmly with your
left hand, keeping your hand well
away from the cutting chain at all
times as shown in Fig 8.

• Allow the chainsaw to do the
work, do not force the chainsaw
through the log.

4. Detach the pivot clamp and
guard by removing the R-clip when using the log horse separately from the
chainsaw.

5. All moving / adjustable parts should be kept sufficiently lubricated to resist
corrosion. Store in a dry place not exposed to the weather.

6. When operating an electric chainsaw always use a residual current device
(RCD) to ensure it will cut out in the event of difficulties arising.
