Event Description

Ellicottville, NY –Chainsaw Safety Workshop - March 15, 2025 – 9am-11:00am

Brought to you by a collaboration of CCE Cattaraugus and NYCAHM.

This class is ideal for beginner chainsaw users or as a refresher for seasoned users. People are welcome to bring their own chainsaw to learn about maintenance and upkeep for their own equipment.

It is roughly 2 hours in length and the course covers basic saw maintenance, best ergonomics practices, kickback prevention, safety elements of a modern saw, and proper PPE (personal Protective equipment) use. Each participant will be able to try on different PPE and will safely start up, throttle up, and turn off a chainsaw. This class uses demonstration, discussion and hands-on activities (There is no cutting in this class or PowerPoint presentation.)

There is no cost for this class!

Class will be held at CCE Cattaraugus -28 Parkside Drive, Ellicottville

Registration is strongly encouraged so we can provide sufficient space! Walk-ins are welcome.
