I've bought a chainsaw - now what do I do?

Kevin from Tawa

To all those budding weekend warriors, who have finally decided that
they are sick of paying those ridiculous power bills during winter to keep warm, and instead have gone out and bought a chainsaw and are now ready to cut up anything in sight to burn on their open fire or in their wood burner - congratulations! You have just taken the first step towards self sufficency. But now what? You vaughley recall the dealer at the chainsaw store telling you about the features of your new purchase and how to use it but to be honest you were so keen to get home and try out your new toy that what was said went in one ear and out the other. HELP !!!
Don't worry help is at hand. Harbour City Tree Care are offering a 2 hour
begginners chainsaw training session for all those who want a formal introduction to their saw and for those who have had a saw for a while but have just learnt as they went along or from a friend.


During the session users will learn about
Personal protective equipment
Features of your saw
Maitenance
How to use your saw safely


So for just $50.00 incl. GST you can take part in a fact filled, enjoyable session where we dispell myths and fears about chainsaws and help you to enjoy using one of the most usefull ,and to be honest, most dangerous tools a home owner can purchase.
