The "Chainsaw Operator's Manual" is the essential safety tool for all professional and recreational users of chainsaws. This book includes easy-to-follow charts, colour illustrations and instructions to guide chainsaw users through basic cross cutting, simple tree felling and problem tree felling, including machine assisted tree felling techniques. Each section of the book corresponds to the National Competency Standards for chainsaw operators which form the basis for accreditation in government agencies. This 3rd edition is substantially revised in line with new safety measures and competency standards and is also extensively illustrated with new colour line drawings and photographs.
