outboard from the first cut. Continue the cut through the
EN
limb until the limb separates from the tree. Be prepared
to balance the weight of the tool when the limb falls.
3. Make a final cut close to trunk.
NOTICE:
For second and final cuts (from top of limb or
branch), hold
the bucking spikes
cut (Fig. F). This will help steady the limb and make it
easier to cut with light downward pressure. If you force
the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or motor can result in.
4. Release the trigger on the power head as soon as the
cut is com pleted.
NOTICE:
Failure to follow proper cutting procedures will
result in the bar and chain binding and becom ing pinched
or trapped in the limb. If this should happen:
1. Stop the motor and remove the battery pack.
2. 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.
3. If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for
assistance.
LIMBING AND PRUNING
This pole saw attachment is designed for trimming small
branches and limbs up to 20cm in diameter. For best
results, observe the following precautions.
1. 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.
2. The most typical cutting application is to posi tion the
unit at an angle of 60° or less (Fig. G). 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 branch es
more room to fall.
5. Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a
firm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.
6. Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dan-
gerous. Leave such operations for professionals.
7. 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.
8. Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.
