Part 3 003920 / CS30 Level 2 Certificate of Competence in Chainsaw Maintenance & Cross-cutting

[@Derek-the-toad]

Really valuable video series, thank you… great ending too 😂😂

[@adelarsen9776]

I thought I knew all about chainsaws and their use until I got accredited training and certification. That's when I realised how little I really knew. Training and education with chainsaws is a must.

That use of chain brake seems excessive do I actually have to do it that much in the course between every single cut I’m England going to take my course at bicton college and just wondering if that’s to really get it in to peoples head to use the chain break or I genuinely have to use it that much during the assessment

[@bespokefencing]

If you move your feet, the brake must go on! You have to jump through the hoops to make the grade!😂

[@adelarsen9776]

Imagine carrying a loaded gun with no safety and then walking over a pile of wet logs..... It's the same thing.

[@gunterbecker8528]

It's excessive for sure,but better safe in a course than injured

[@paulelemental2489]

Thumb up Andy 😂

Finding this video kinda strange. First one I have seen that ignores a warming up period. First one I have seen that shows the chain brake used for every cut. Bought my first saw in 88, Sachs Dolmar 115 extra, used it again yesterday, have NEVER used the chain brake. Was told it was a safety feature in case of kickback. Wasn't until last year that I finally did use the chain brake on any saw, and that was while I was up in a tree with an MS170. If you can't control your idling saw with non moving blade while on the ground, maybe you should not be using a chainsaw in the first place.

This is a revision video for students who have undergone the full training at the college for the NPTC assessment where without the use of the chainbrake they WILL fail.

If you aren’t cutting with the chainsaw the brake should be on. These demonstrators are showing you that to the extreme. All it takes it a little chain creep, or press of a button and you might need to invest in another pair of chainsaw trousers, and that’s if you’re lucky!

[@adelarsen9776]

Safety first, foremost, front and centre.

@@adelarsen9776 IMHO the chain brake mechanism is not robust enough, or designed for, this kind of usage. However the OFF switch and starter mechanism are.
