New chainsaw training video...

[DriveLink]

Hi, just thought I'd let you know that I've just completed a short (6 1/2 minute) training video on how to start a chainsaw safely.

 

Now, I'm sure you all know how to do it, but this is really aimed at those of you who may be about to take your CS30 assessment and just want to do a quick bit of revision.

 

You can check it out over at DriveLink HQ: http://drivelink.blogspot.com . I hope that it's useful for somebody!

 

If you're a trainer and you'd like a higher quality copy then let me know and burn one on to a CD and get it out to you. It'll be in AVI (Windows) format; or I could do MOV (Apple / Quicktime) format, but I'm having problems with the first few seconds of audio with this format. Don't know why, all a bit odd really

Also, I thought it would be good to hear people's symptoms of dehydration/exhaustion so others know what to look out for??

 

What are you training Sambo ?

Even with a top handled saw?

[Ian C]

Yes with a top handle when climbing but never with ground saws, Always one to catch you out aint there lol:001_tongue:

[Peter]

Wanst really trying to catch you out, I was just wondering how you start an 020 between your legs without melting your saw pants!

 

Tried it on my cs39 assessment, but was advised otherwise by the assessor! Not tried it since!
