SUMMARY:CHAINSAW SAFETY CLASS - LEVEL 3
DESCRIPTION:Prerequisite: Completion of Level 2 training \n\n\n\nParticipants in Level 3 SAWW training will refine and build upon chainsaw proficiency skills learned in Levels 1 & 2. This course is certified through the Safety and Woods Working (SAWW) training program and is part of a four-level series designed to increase safety and efficiency of chainsaw use. \n\n\n\nParticipants in Level 3 training will spend most of the day in the field practicing techniques to operate chainsaws safely\, comfortably and productively. Topics covered include review of information from Levels 1 & 2\, focus on planning and executing difficult tree felling\, introduction to Segments\, precision at the stump\, and planning and executing limbing and bucking. Level 3 participants should be fully equipped and prepared to work with and maintain their own chainsaw. Hands-on training gives participants the opportunity to fell and limb or buck at least one tree. Participants must be prepared to work and bring their own personal protective equipment\, chainsaw(s) and tools for maintenance.

This course is certified through the Safety and Woods Working (SAWW) training program and is part of a four-level series designed to increase safety and efficiency of chainsaw use. \n\n\n\nParticipants in Level 2 training will spend part of the morning in the classroom\, and at least 5 hours outside practicing techniques to operate chainsaws safely\, comfortably and productively. Topics covered include basic chainsaw maintenance\, review of the cutter tooth and hands-on sharpening\, introduction to wedges\, planning and executing tree felling\, planning and executing limbing and bucking. Level 2 participants will sharpen their own saws\, may fell trees against lean\, and learn advanced bucking techniques. Hands-on training gives participants the opportunity to fell or limb at least one tree \n\n\n\nParticipants must bring a safety helmet\, and are encouraged to bring all PPE (eye protection\, chaps\, suitable footwear and gloves)\, chainsaw and any tools used to maintain the saw and sharpen chain.
