NPTC 003920 Level 2 Certificate of Competence in Chainsaw Maintenance and Cross Cutting (CS30)

What You Will Study

This qualification is about the maintenance of a chainsaw and cross-cutting trees at ground level.

Cross-cutting operations will include cross-cutting timber under tension in the form of fallen branches, tops, tree sections, severed uprooted stems, horizontal stems or any timber in a similar situation. This describes the cross-cutting of trees or timber into either manageable sections or to a given length and diameter specification, either where trees have been felled ('at stump') or at a conversion point to where trees or timber have been extracted. This course was formerly known as CS30.

You will cover:

• Identifying the appropriate protective clothing and equipment
• Work preparation
• Servicing and maintaining the saw
• Cross-cutting of timber

You will need to bring all PPE and equipment necessary to the course. We will provide a list closer to the time or upon request. There is a small charge to hire a chainsaw only, please let us know at time of booking.

This is a two-day course.
