POLE SAW TRAINING

Industry Training Qld (Provider Number 30477) Townsville offers FWPCOT3301 Trim trees using a pole saw.

When a chainsaw is too big to carry up a ladder, and too dangerous to use while on the ladder, a pole saw is exactly the tool you need. But what sort of pole saw? And how do you use it safely? ITQ’s one-day course can help you get the most out of this useful tool.
