Four Levels to be Taught During Workshop
Level 1 focuses on introducing the participants to open face felling and the development of techniques to safely use it.
Topics covered include personal protective equipment, chainsaw safety features, chainsaw reactive forces, bore cutting,
pre-planning the fell, and understanding hinge wood strength.
Level 2 focuses on maximizing chainsaw performance through basic maintenance, carburetor setting, and filing
techniques. Limbing and bucking techniques are introduced, spring pole cutting is covered and more felling is practiced.
Level 3 focuses on the techniques for handling difficult trees. Topics covered included limbing, height measurements,
segment calculations, wedging techniques and hinge placement. The felling is done against the tree’s natural lean and
participants also limb and buck using techniques demonstrated in level 2.
Level 4 focuses on the ways to maximize a harvest plan and productivity. Felling is practiced at working speed using all the
techniques from previous levels.
This hands on training is offered to professional loggers, foresters, college students, forest landowners, casual users, city-
park and utility workers, fireman and anyone interested in learning any of the safety techniques when working with
chainsaws and felling trees.
