NOTICE:
For the second and the final cuts
(from the top of the limb or branch), hold the
bucking spikes against the limb being cut
(Fig. 9c). This will help to steady the limb and
make it easier to cut. Allow the chain to cut for
you; exert only light, downward pressure. If
you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or
motor can result.
4. Release the trigger on the power head as
soon as the cut is completed.
NOTICE: Failure to follow proper cutting
procedures will result in the bar and chain
binding and becoming pinched or trapped in
the limb. If this should happen:
Stop the motor and remove the battery pack.
•
If the limb can be reached from the ground, lift the limb while holding the saw. This should
•
release the "pinch" and free the saw.
If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for assistance.

Limbing and Pruning (Fig .10)
This pole saw is designed for trimming
small branches and limbs up to 8" (200mm)
in diameter. For best results, observe the
following precautions:
Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction
in which the branch will fall.
WARNING
Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do
•
not stand directly under the branch being cut.
The most typical cutting application is to
•
position the pole saw at an angle of 60° or
less, depending on the specific situation. As
the angle of the pole-saw shaft to the ground
increases, the difficulty of making the first cut
(from the underside of the limb) increases.
Remove long branches in several stages.
•
Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches more room to fall.
•
Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm grip. Maintain secure footing and
•
balance.
Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree
•
opposite the branch you are cutting.
Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous. Leave such operations for
•
professionals.
Do not make a 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 trunk or limb.
Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.
•
To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 50 ft. (15m) of overhead electrical lines.
•
Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. (15m) away.
