Chainsaw Safe Handling, Maintenance & Practices Certification
In this extensive 1 or 2 day seminar, Ken Fosty, Certified and Accredited Professional Chainsaw Instructor teaches a hands-on approach on how to operate your chainsaw safely.
Indoor classroom presentations include personal protective equipment, kickback, proper felling techniques, notching & backcutting, chainsaw storage & fuel/oil utilization, chainsaw disassembly & maintenance, chainsaw sharpening, proper starting procedures, chainsaw safety features, limbing & bucking, etc.
Additional classroom presentations include videos, hands-on chainsaw maintenance and proper sharpening and take home handouts.
Outdoor, hands-on training is an essential component as each of the participants are required to demonstrate proper chainsaw starting, handling and safe cutting operation to the instructor’s satisfaction. Participants are encouraged to bring their own chainsaws if available, however, not necessary as Ken provides all chainsaws and personal protective equipment.
All participants complete an outdoor, hands-on practical session followed by an open-book test. Certificates, valid for three years are awarded to all participants.
