A FREE EVENT! - Brought to you by a collaboration of CCE Cattaraugus and New York Center for Agricultural Medicine and Health (NYCAMH).
This class is ideal for beginner chainsaw users or as a refresher for seasoned users. People are welcome to bring their own chainsaw to learn about maintenance and upkeep for their own equipment. It is roughly two hours in length and the course covers basic saw maintenance, best ergonomics practices, kickback prevention, safety elements of a modern saw, and proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) use. Each participant will be able to try on different PPE and will safely start up, throttle up, and turn off a chainsaw. This class uses demonstration, discussion and hands-on activities (There is no cutting in this class or PowerPoint presentation.)
*There is no cost for this class!
Class will be held at CCE Cattaraugus -28 Parkside Drive, Ellicottville, New York 14731
Registration is strongly encouraged so we can provide sufficient space! Walk-ins are welcome.
