Start the tool, and then press the saw chain onto the
branch lightly.
When cutting long branches, in order to control the drop
position of cut branches, divide the branch in sections
and cut the branch from the tip. Pay attention to the
falling branches since they may bounce in the direction
of the operator after hitting the ground.
When cutting thick branches, first make a shallow
undercut and then make the finish cut from the top.

If you try to cut off thick branches from the bottom, the
branch may close in and pinch the saw chain in the cut.
If you try to cut off thick branches from the top without a
shallow undercut, the branch may splinter.
