This course is aimed at entry-level or novice individuals who need the skills and knowledge to safely operate and maintain a hand-held chainsaw. It is suitable for workers, trainees, apprentices, or students in forestry, agriculture, landscaping, parks and gardens, conservation, or local government outdoor services.

No prior chainsaw experience or licensing is required.

Learners who complete this unit will be able to:

• Prepare for chainsaw maintenance by identifying maintenance requirements, confirming safety and environmental procedures, assessing risks, planning activities, coordinating with team members, and selecting the correct tools and personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Perform chainsaw maintenance safely and effectively, including routine and periodic servicing, checking and replacing chains and components, diagnosing faults, and ensuring operational readiness according to manufacturer and workplace requirements.
• Complete post-maintenance tasks, such as cleaning the work area, inspecting and storing tools, managing waste responsibly, and maintaining accurate maintenance records. These outcomes ensure learners can maintain chainsaws in a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible manner while complying with workplace procedures.
