💚 First aid training 💚 Its not a pre-requis 💚 First aid training 💚 Its not a pre-requisite to any courses, although common sense would make you think at least one person in the team should have some first aid training. As an operator of a chainsaw the HSE has recently updated what you should be carrying in your personal first aid kit, here is the recommend list: 🚑 one or more haemostatic dressings 🚑 a tourniquet 🚑 a pair of plastic gloves 🚑 a resusciade (or similar) It would still be a good idea to have a large wound dressing too. HSE also recommend that you have had training in the above. JUST THINK: 💚 if the worst was to happen would you know what to do? 💚 could you step in and help someone? Working in the land-based sector it could be the difference between life and death 💚 be prepared and have some training on first aid 💚 #firstaid #firstaidtraining #tourniquet #largewounddressing #staysafe #worksafely #chainsaw #chainsawoperator

Thinking of doing another chainsaw course? Need to Thinking of doing another chainsaw course? Need to fell trees over 380mm in diameter at breast height (DBH)? Dismantling trees with stems over 380mm? Need to do a refresher, but considering the next level up and doing a course? Then the Felling and processing of trees over 380mm (formally #CS32) could be for you. Ideally it is best to have some experience of felling trees up to 380mm before thinking of attending this course so you've had plenty of practice reading the trees. The course covers: 🍁 use of felling aids (wedges) 🍁 use of winches and dealing with hung up trees 🍁 dealing with bigger logs 🍁 dealing with straight trees, trees leaning in the direction of the fell and trees leaning in the opposite direction of the fell 🍁 discussion on assisted felling techniques 🍁 plus much more Something to consider is if your dismantling a tree and intend to fell the remaining pole then depending on the diameter of the tree at breast height (approx. 1.5m) you may need a ticket of 380mm and above. Insurance companies are starting to look at this in more detail in claims, so don’t get caught out! Our next course is 25th and 26th March assessments TBC. If you'd like to book then send us a message or click the link in the bio to our website 😊 #over380mm #cs32 #fellingtrees #felltreesover380mm #forestry #arborist #treeclimber #woodlandmanagement #estatemanagement #lowemaintenance

Farmers! Do you use a chainsaw on the farm? 🚜 🐄 🐖 🐑 If the answer is yes, then read on. . . Does this sound familiar? You use a chainsaw on the farm: 🚜 For chopping up firewood? 🐑 Whilst fencing to take off the uneven tops? 🚜 For a bit of hedge laying? 🐑 Cutting up fence posts or pallets? 🚜 Chop off over hanging branches (obviously not above shoulder height!) But. . . 🐖 aren't sure if you should have a ticket? 🐄 don't quite know where to start getting a ticket 🐖 aren't really keen on going to a college situation? 🐄 think the standard chainsaw course is just for forestry or arborists 🐖 have some questions? Don't worry we can help! The place to start is the chainsaw maintenance and cross cutting 20-03 (formally CS30) and the felling and processing of trees upto 380mm 20-04 (formally CS31). Our next date with availability is w/c 17th February 2020 For more details check out the link for full details in our bio Or got a question then pop it below, happy to help 🙂 #chainsawcourse #cs30 #cs31 #safeuseofchainsaw #farmersandchainsaws #farmers #farminguk #farmland #farmlandmanagement #lowmaintenance

What do you go silly over? I’m sure I’m not the only one 😊 #livingthedream #lovepigs #kunekunepigs #atvriding #quadbikes
📢 Calling all chainsaw operators 📢 We're ta 📢 Calling all chainsaw operators 📢 We're talking sprockets this evening 😱 Which sprocket do you have fitted to your chainsaw? Do you know the differences? When did you last replace your sprocket? Do you know how to replace the sprocket on your chainsaw? 💭 Rim sprocket – looks like a collar that sits on a post that the chain is pitched around. 💭 Spur sprocket – looks like a hub with a star on it and the teeth of the chain locate into that 🤔 Remember its 2-3 chains to a sprocket If the wear is deeper than 0.5mm it needs replacing Did you know you can get an 8 tooth sprocket? Benefits of an 8 tooth: • Makes the chain faster but doesn’t affect the torque • Its smoother to cut with too Have you got or seen an 8 tooth sprocket? Shows us your sprockets! 😎🤩 #sprockets #rimsprocket #spursprocket #chainsawsprocket #8toothsprocket #lowemaintenance

Chainsaw PPE, do you need to know more about what Chainsaw PPE, do you need to know more about what you should be wearing? We often get asked when people book courses what personal protective equipment (PPE) they will need for the chainsaw course. So here is a list of what you would need on your basic chainsaw maintenance and felling trees upto 380mm course and for use after when you've passed: 📇 Forestry helmet, with mesh visor and ear defenders (in date) 📇 Chainsaw protective footwear, either boots or wellies 📇 Chainsaw gloves, are required for the assessment. Once you've passed and achieved the qualification you can adapt your risk assessment for other appropriate gloves 📇 Chainsaw protective trousers 📇 Waterproofs and suitable outdoor clothing 📇 Dinner and drinks - clearly very important its hungry work! We do send out a full list of what is required in your course joining instructions so it helps you make plans. We can loan you some of the PPE - ALL AT NO EXTRA COST how awesome is that!!!!! Because how do you really know what to buy until you've done the course? The only thing we don't provide are the boots and gloves due to hygiene reasons - someone elses sweaty feet isn't nice! 🥾 Any questions just pop them below in the comments 👇 #chainsawppe #chainsawtrousers #chainsawboots #chainsawgloves #lowemaintenance #forestryhelmet #arboristhelmet

Chain tension on your chainsaw. . . How does it af Chain tension on your chainsaw. . . How does it affect your use of the chainsaw? Having the right tension is really important for a number of reasons as a slack chain can: ⛓ make it harder to cut straight ⛓ increase the chance of the chain de-railing or jumping off the bar ⛓ damage the bar itself ⛓ cause excessive wear at the nose of the bar or drive sprocket Ideally you need to: ⛓ ensure that the chain is firm ⛓ ask a more experienced chainsaw user if unsure ⛓ look at attending some sort of training to know how to tension the chain correctly ⛓ it’s about getting a feel for it, there is no fixed poundage or scale to work to, it’s something you have to feel 👍 Here’s a video showing you how we tension our saws, do you have a different way - let us know in the comments below 👇 #chainsaw #chainsawtension #sawtension #lowemaintenance
