‘Tear-Away’ Chain Saw Lanyard
Buckingham’s 26 Series Chainsaw Lanyard (i.e. 26Y12-48) features a 1 3/4″ steel ring for saw
suspension when not in use. It is constructed from an elastic bungee that contracts when relaxed and
features a tear away safety pack that activates when approximately 200 lbs. of force is applied. Model
colors, lengths and features may vary.
The 26 series tear away chain saw lanyard must be connected to a designated saddle
attachment point such as a tool ring or loop with one end, and uses the strap end to connect to
the chain saw.
INSTRUCTIONS

1. Use a hitch to connect the chain saw lanyard onto the side of arborist saddle.

the back pad. Figure 2 shows the chainsaw lanyard hitched to the chain saw attachment ring

Lanyard Connection to Chain Saw

of the saw.

2. Snugly wrap the strap around the handle of the chain saw below the trigger mechanism. (You
must make a minimum of two full wraps as shown is Step 2).
3. Connect the snap back to the steel ring as shown in Step 3.
