Chainsaws, Tight spot, Tough Trees & Heavy equipment - What could go Wrong?
What happens here
The presenter provides an overview of the various Makita/Dolmar chainsaws to be used. This includes a gasoline-powered Makita Dolmar EA7900P chainsaw and two newer battery-powered models: the Makita XCU03 and Makita XCU04. He highlights that Makita and Dolmar are essentially the same brand. The plan is outlined to cut down a different tree using primarily the battery-powered chainsaws for limbing and to showcase proper cutting techniques, contrasting them with common mistakes in tree felling. Franky's previous chainsaw injury (cutting off a finger) is briefly mentioned to emphasize the importance of safety.
Goal: Familiarize with the chainsaws and cutting strategy.
