Any tips for my cs39?

[tommer9]

I didnt use gloves, as i thought you dont need to, seeing as you dont have to use them when using the saw in a tree, but it was "brought to my attention" by the assessor that i did have to.

 

You dont- the assessor was wrong.

My assessor was wrong too then and my mates assessor also.

 

May be a trainer on here could clear it up.

 

Deffo didnt have to wear them on mine.

 

 

Assessor please!

just relax and go slow its 4 bread and butter cuts you will have done a million times just get it right, chain brake on and switch the saw off all the time, cold start on the floor and pre start checks as you would with a ground saw...can't go wrong really. do your free fall cuts first sot he tip weight makes them fall...doesn't look good when you have to push on the branch to get the piece to fall .

it shouldn't matter.

i did all my cuts on one branch (which was dead...) and he said to give the branch a nudge to make it drop. he could see the cut i made and knew it was good enough.

Things i was picked up on were both related to warming up the 020 before i went up.

Secondly i drop started the 020 from cold, as appose to starting it on the ground like your meant to with a ground saw. I thought because of the design of the 020, and seeing it had no back handle i could drop start it, like you do when your in a tree. Apparently not lol had to start it like you would a ground saw.

 

hope that helps mate, good luck!

 

What total and utter nonsense!!!!

 

Is it not about time these assessments reflected the real world???

Still never understood how its any less safe to drop start a saw in the tree, compared to any other method:confused1:

 

Never been able to do that nipping saw between knees thingy, always hurts like hell!
