B. ATTACHING THE SPUR {OPTIONALI
The spur is a special piece of equipment designed
to assist the cutting operation.
When assembled to
the saw, the spur will dig into the tree or log and:
-relieve contact pressure adding ease to the saw­
ing operation.
- allow the saw to be more easily rotated or pivoted
into the cut.
To Install:

2. Align the spur over the two holes on the bar clamp
side of the saw. Figure 6.
3. Insert the two screws and tighten evenly and sec­
urely.
