Course overview
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.
