SAWW Chainsaw Training: Level 1

Join SAWW (Safety and Woods Worker) trainer Luke Saunders (Forester with Adaptive Restoration LLC) for a hands-on training in chainsaw use, maintenance, and technique. Spend time both outside and in the classroom, practicing how to operate chainsaws safely, comfortably, and productively.  

This class is part one of a four level series through the Safety and Woods Working training program (SAWW).

Topics include:

• personal protective equipment (PPE)
• body mechanics
• chainsaw safety features
• the chain and the cutter tooth
• reactive forces
• planning and executing tree felling, limbing, and bucking
• introductory bore cutting and open face felling

Hands-on training gives participants the opportunity to fell at least one tree. You are encouraged to bring your own equipment and lunch; helmets are mandatory.
