 | 1 The OTTAWA can be taken to the timber on the back by of your car or wagon. The saw blade can be laid back by removing one bolt, or it can be taken off. The OTTAWA is mounted on wide tire wheels -set far apart. You need not worry about turning the outfit over when driving. |
 | 2 Wheeling the OTTAWA to the log. A one man job over rough muddy or frozen ground. The weight is all on the rear wheels. There is very little weight on the handles. |
 | 3 Fastening to the log. We have tried doggers, but they do not compare with the new model log-hook pictured on pale one. See page one for this new improvement. You merely turn the handle to fasten the saw Only takes a few seconds for you to fasten the 0TTAWA quickly and securely. |
 | 4 Making certain clutch lever is pushed in before attempting to start the engine, for then he can start the engine without the sawing mechanism moving. This makes it easy to start in any kind of weather. Notice the operator is still on the fly-wheel side. The OTTAWA saves you many steps. |
 | 5 Starting the engine without cranking. This is easily done on the OTTAWA latest model if you permit us to send you the magneto equipped Log Saw. The operator grasps the flywheel with his right hand, turns it back against compression. A turn of the wheel and the engine starts. |
 | 6 Places Saw Blade on log. The engine running yet none of the sawing mechanism is moving Note the hinged saw rest he has in his left hand. See his right hand around the saw handle. This makes and safe to move the OTTAWA from cut to cut on the log or from log to log. |
 | 7 He has started to pull the clutch lever out easily done with one finger.) In just a fraction of a second he will have the clutch out and then the saw will start racing through the log at the rate of 350 strokes each minute. Note that the operator is still on the same side of the OTTAWA Log Saw. |
 | 8 The OTTAWA Log Saw in operation. Note the clutch lever has been pulled out and fastened in the notch provided. The operator has adjusted the stop chain and sat down, knowing the saw can only cut through the log. If the saw pinches, the safety clutch will stop all sawing mechanism. |
 | 9 This operator is not in a rush, for the stop chain is holding up the saw blade. You can set the chain for any size log then leave. The saw will only cut as far as it is set. This saves many a saw from going into the ground before the operator could get to the Log Saw to push in the clutch. |
 | 10 Pushes in Clutch. This stops the saw. Notice that the engine Is running. The operator lifts the saw blade out of the cut and places it in he arrest The operator, now, moves the Log Saw from cut to cut or log to log. He is still on the same side of the outfit. The OTTAWA saves many steps. |
 | 11 Moves to the next cut. This is easily done on the OTTAWA, for you do not have to take off the wheels. First, you move the wheel end as shown in picture to the left and then you raise the skid end over. All easily done by one man in just a very few seconds. The wheels turn easily. |
 | 12 Starting the next cut. The engine has never stopped: the saw blade only was idle. This man is ready to make the next cut. As in picture No. 7 above, he pulls out the clutch lever and starts the saw blade running at any speed he may desire. It quickly saws through this cut and so on. |
Oh if only it were this easy. I imagine any user of the Ottawa curses the salesman who came up with the text above! I've got an Ottawa and while it does run pretty nicely most of the time, it has its share of disasters and I cannot imagine using it as a sawing engine as easily as they say!
