Chainsaw Trim and Cut Felled Trees

This course teaches how to safely and efficiently operate and maintain a chainsaw. No more worries when a fallen tree blocks your path. You will learn to assess a fallen tree and see where the compression and tension stresses are.  Most importantly, you can then decide whether you  will open the track or report it to the authorities. If clearing the tree is beyond your training and abilities, it is always better to be safe than be sorry.

This course is for use in 4WDriving situations where timber production is not the primary focus.

Application of the course
