Chainsaws

Chainsaw Maintenance and crosscutting

                                     CS30 

​

This is a perfect introduction to expertly handling and maintaining a chainsaw.

This course is for those who don't wish to do the Regulated assessment for a license to practice and has an integrated assessment. 

We work closely with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to ensure both the course's content – and the materials we use – are in line with current safe working practices.

You'll learn all the theory needed to use and keep a chainsaw running safely, with key sessions covering saw chain, guide bar, and power unit maintenance.

And you'll gain hands-on experience of starting a chainsaw, run through all the pre-cutting tests and learn the skills needed to expertly cross-cut timber.

Worth noting: Chainsaws are powerful and potentially dangerous tools, so you'll need a minimum level of fitness to be able to complete the practical side of the training.
