An explanation of the 'tension' and 'compression' forces in timber is also provided to help you understand where tobegin cutting to avoid jamming the saw. The book covers chainsaw maintenance in detail, explains all aspects of the equipment and helps you select the right chainsaw and personal protection equipment for your needs. Trouble-shooting charts are included to help you solveoperating problems. This manual has been updated to take into account the most recent changes in nationally accredited competency standards.
