What is included in Daily Saw Inspections as a readiness check for controls?

• A. Fuel Levels
• B. Visual Overview
• C. Controls set to 'Operationally Ready'
• D. Obvious Leaks

Answer: (C)

Daily Saw Inspections test whether the saw’s controls are in a ready-to-use state. When the controls are set to “Operationally Ready,” you’re confirming that the throttle, chain brake, ignition/switch, and other safety controls are in their proper positions and will respond correctly, allowing safe starting and operation. This focus on control status ensures the machine can be started and used as intended, not just that it has fuel or appears visually okay. While checking fuel levels, leaks, and overall condition is important for safety, those checks do not guarantee that the control system itself is prepared to function.
