OPERATION
WARNING: Do not use waste oil! Medical studies
have shown that renewed contact with waste oil can
cause skin cancer.
1. Fill the oil tank every time engine is fueled. Pole pruner should
use approximately one tank of oil per tank of fuel.
2. The automatic oil pump is a positive displacement pump
operated through gears driven off the clutch drum assembly.
The pump will not oil at idle speed.

Preparation for Cutting

42
Proper Grip on Handles.
Refer to Safety Section for appropriate Safety Equipment.
1. Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
WARNING: Hold the pole pruner firmly with both
hands. Always keep your LEFT HAND on the front
handle and your RIGHT HAND on the rear (throttle)
handle as shown in Fig. 42, so that your body is to
the left of the chain line. Never use a cross-handed
grip, or any stance which would place your body or
arm across the chain line. Left-handers should
43
follow these instructions too.
2. Maintain a proper grip on the pole pruner whenever the engine
is running. The fingers should encircle the handle. Any grip in
which the thumb and fingers are on the same side of the
handle, is dangerous because a slight kick of the pole pruner
can cause loss of control.
WARNING:
Proper Cutting Stance (Fig. 43)
- Weight should be balanced on both feet - feet on
solid ground.
- Your body should always be to the left of the
chain line.
Basic Cutting Procedure
Practice cutting a few small logs using the following technique to
get the "feel" of using your pole pruner before you begin a major
pole pruning operation.
1. Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the pole
pruner idling.
2. Accelerate the engine to full throttle just before entering the cut
by squeezing the throttle trigger.
3. Keep the engine at full throttle the entire time you are cutting.
4. Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light downward
pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or
engine can result.
5. Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is completed,
allowing the engine to idle. If you run the pole pruner at full
throttle without a cutting load, unnecessary wear or
damage can occur to the chain, bar, and engine.
6. Do not put pressure on the pole pruner at the end of the cut.
