Abstract: A clearing saw harness device comprising a pad, to which the clearing saw is detachably attachable, for bearing against a person's body, a harness for the pad, and a helical spring for attaching the pad to the harness for at least partially absorbing forces transmitted from the clearing saw. The pad comprises two flexible plate elements which are formed and interconnected to each other along opposed edge portions respectively thereof so that one of the plate elements is substantially planar and an other is curved. The harness includes a band which passes through a ring and both of a pair of slots in the pad. An end portion of the spring is attached to the ring and an other end portion of the spring is attached to the pad.
