This qualification is about the maintenance of a chainsaw and cross-cutting trees at ground level. Chainsaws used in aerial and ground work are covered and the work will be carried out in a workshop or woodland environment. “Routine” in this standard means corrective and preventative maintenance which is carried out daily or at regular intervals by the operator prior to and during work.

The severing of root-plates is excluded. If you are working with chemicals or machinery, you need to be appropriately trained or certificated in line with current legislation. This standard is for those using chainsaws.
