Chainsaw Operation is a practical guide to safe work technique for chainsaw operators. Some three decades in making and refinement, this detailed yet easy to read manual comprises not less than 80 pages formatted in A4 size. The introduction to this book gives an overview of chainsaw development through the years. As such, there are a number of old illustrations. Further, this chapter provides advice to the reader on the selection of present day chainsaws. To this end it is supported by a table of specifications for a number of 'professional' type chainsaws. Such matters as safe use of chainsaws generally, trimming, cross cutting, ripping, tree falling, chainsaw maintenance and environmental care are attended in the main chapters of this comprehensive reference. These are supplemented by four appendices relating to the specialised subjects of pole saws, chainsaw mills, the chainsaw drill attachment and emergency service chainsaws. The text is liberally illustrated. There are numerous line drawings and photographs and even cartoons. All are of a high standard. Without doubt, Chainsaw Operation is a 'must' for those involved in the safe operation and proper maintenance of chainsaws. As such, it is a most worthy addition to the bookshelf for all in such fields as amenity horticulture, forestry, conservation land management, agriculture and the emergency services. 200 illustrations plus 80 in colour 290 x 210mm
