Chainsaw Maintenance, Cross-cutting and Basic Felling up to 200mm

There is no doubting the chainsaw's usefulness – nor its power. But in the wrong hands, it is also a very dangerous machine. Our course will teach you how to operate a chainsaw safely and with real confidence. It's specifically designed for learners who intend to use a chainsaw only occasionally.

This is an integrated training and assessment course. You'll learn basic felling techniques including how to de-limb trees and cross-cut timber as will dealing with hung-up trees up to 200mm/8ins in diameter.

The finer details:

• You'll be taught health and safety theory.
• You'll then move on to practical work, which will be assessed by our expert instructors.
• Chainsaw maintenance is an important part of the course
• You'll learn about daily checks and the sharpening of the chain.
• After that, there are a number of practical sessions.
