Abstract: A work table for use with a chain saw comprises a flat-topped work surface having a slot defined therein through part of which an elongate member of a pivotal carrier unit extends uprightly and is movable longitudinally therein. The member has in vertical spaced relation to extend from the same side thereof, parallel to and above and below the remaining part of the slot respectively a chain saw guard and a chain saw mounting bracket. The outer end of a stationary link arrangement is to engage around the throttle of a chain saw. With a chain saw fitted with its cutter bar extending upwards through the slot parallel to the member and clamped in mounting bracket, the throttle ready to be engaged and chain saw energized, movement of a workpiece to be cut against the chain saw mill move the pivotal unit with the chain saw about its pivot to cause the throttle to be depressed to activate the blade of the cutter bar.
