Pruning With the Pole Saw (Fig. A, O–Q)
WARNING: Let the tool work at its own pace. Do
not overload.
WARNING: When pruning trees: guard against kickback
which can result in severe injury or death. Refer to guard
Against Kickback to avoid the risk of kickback. Do not
overreach. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart.
Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
1. Use both hands to grip pole saw as shown in Fig. O.
Use a firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around the
powerhead main handle
fingers away from sawdust exhaust chute
Fig. Q.
2. Never operate while in a tree, in any awkward position or
on a ladder or other unstable surface. You may lose control
of pole saw causing severe injury.
3. Follow directions below to trim a tree.
a. Make sure pole saw is running at full speed before
making a cut. When starting a cut, place moving saw
chain
14
against limb. Hold pole saw firmly in place to
avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways movement)
of pole saw.
b. Guide pole saw using light pressure. Make first cut 6"
(152 mm) from tree trunk on underside of limb. Use top of
guide bar
13
to make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of
limb. 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. Do not force pole saw. The motor will
overload and can burn out. It will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was intended.
c. Remove pole saw from cut while it is running at full
speed. Stop pole saw by releasing trigger switch
sure saw chain has stopped before setting pole saw down.
Auto‑Stop Chain Braking System
Your pole saw is fitted with an auto-stop chain braking
system which will stop the chain quickly each time you
release the rear trigger, or if kickback should occur. This
system should be tested before every use.
