Chainsaw Maintenance – City & Guilds - SFT Essential Tool Roll
In response to recent requests I’ve put together a set of basic tools for chainsaw maintenance, typically everything needed to work on the chainsaw and do the maintenance required during Lantra ITA Training and City & Guilds assessment. They are now standard issue to clients hiring chainsaws. The tool roll has 10 pockets, a zipped section and a couple more holders and comprises the following:
- Box/combination spanner
- Tuning screwdriver
- Chain Filing Kit – 3 tools, round file & holder, flat file & depth gauge setting tool #
- Pliers
- Feeler gauge
- Screwdrivers flat & pozi
- Set square
- Vernier
- Snowflake for measuring chain pitch, guide bar gauge etc
- Drive sprocket wear tool
- Torx screwdriver or allen key*
- Cleaning brushes
- Grease gun*
- Wire hook for fuel filter
- Sponge to block air filter
- Gloves (light duty)
# appropriate to your chain
* husqvarna or stihl as appropriate
Obviously the kit can be expanded, but the real benefit is that a dedicated chainsaw tool kit is readily at hand, can easily be taken into the field and in training and assessment can act as a prompt – why is that set square in there?
