How to properly maintain the chainsaw, cleaning procedues and then how to use it, how to cut downed trees. The TAFE course we did, does not covers felling trees.

I dont think the course teachs you to cut down trees but rather cut up tree branches on the ground......

Hence "how to cut downed trees" and "The TAFE course we did, does not covers felling trees."

I learnt off my grandad last holidays when I was helping him down on the farm.  Thinking about doing a CFS course then I  can have more certificates and is something to go on a resume as a qualified chainsaw dude :-)
