• Using hands and arms in handling, installing, positioning, and moving materials.
• Performing precise and skillful manipulation of small objects.
• Being active and proactive in regards to physical activities that require considerable use of your arms and legs and moving your whole body, such as climbing, lifting, balancing, walking, stooping, and handling materials.

Controllers are expected to be good at:

• Using either control mechanisms or direct physical activity to operate manufacturing systems.
• Working with hand operated industrial machines and power tools.
• Adjusting knobs, levers, and physical or touch sensitive buttons in industrial devices.
• Running, maneuvering, navigating, or driving vehicles or mechanized equipment, such as forklifts, passenger vehicles, aircraft, or watercraft.

• Stopping sawing engines, pulling cutting bars from cuts, and running to safety as tree falls.
• Appraising trees for certain characteristics, such as twists, rots, and heavy limb growth, and gauging the amount and direction of lean, for controlling the direction of a tree’s fall with the least damage.
• Sawing back cuts, leaving sufficient sound wood for controlling direction of fall.
• Clearing brush from working areas and escape routes, and cutting saplings and other trees from direction of falls, using axes, chainsaws, or bulldozers.
• Measuring felled trees and cutting them into specified timber lengths, using chain saws and axes.
• Assessing the timber after cutting for ensuring that the quality and length are adequate.
• Determining positions, directions, and depth of cuts to be made, and placement of wedges or jacks.
• Controlling the direction of a tree’s fall by scoring cutting lines with axes, sawing undercuts along scored lines with chainsaws, knocking slabs from cuts with single bit axes, and driving wedges.
