7. Make sure that you have a secure and balanced footing. Watch out for obstacles such as
tree stumps, roots, and ditches, which could cause you to trip or stumble.
8. Make sure the saw chain is not touching the ground or any other objects.
9. Make sure that the object being cut does not exceed the usable cutting length of the pole saw.
The tip of guide bar shall always be kept at least 2" (50mm) outside the outline of the wood log.
To Start/Stop the Pole Saw
See the section "Starting/Stopping the Power Head" in the power head PH0040 owner's manual.
CUTTING
Basic Cutting (Fig .6a and Fig . 6b)
NOTE: Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following technique to get the "feel" of using your
saw before you begin a major sawing operation.
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to
tree or shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth
sawing motion.
1. Make a shallow first cut (1/4 of the limb
diameter) on the underside of the limb,
close to the main limb or trunk.
2. Make the second cut from the top side
of the limb, outboard from the first cut.
Continue the cut through the limb until the
limb separates from the tree. Be prepared
to balance the weight of the pole saw when
the limb falls.
3. Make the final cut close to trunk.
NOTE: 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. 6c). 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.
Failure to follow proper cutting
NOTICE
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.
