WARNING:
under the branch being cut.
2. The most typical cutting application is to position the unit at an angle of 60°or
less, depending on the specific situation, as shown in Fig. 8. As the angle of the
pole saw shaft to the ground increases, the difficulty of making the first cut (from
the underside of limb) increases.
3. Remove long branches in several stages.
4. Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches more room to fall.
5. Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm grip. Maintain secure
footing and balance.
6. Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing. Cut from the side of the
tree opposite the branch you are cutting.
7. Do not cut from a ladder – this is extremely dangerous. Leave such operations for
professionals.
8. Do not make the flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off
much of limb to reduce the weight. Following proper cutting procedures will
prevent stripping the bark from the main member.
9. Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.
10. To prevent electrocution, do not
operate within 50 ft. (15m) of
overhead electrical lines (Fig. 7).
11. Keep bystanders at least 50 ft.
(15m) away (Fig. 7).
Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not stand directly
