Basic cutting procedure
As shown in Fig 15
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth sawing
motion.
Make a shallow first cut (1/4 of limb diameter) on the underside of the limb close to the main limb or
trunk.
Make a second cut from the top side of the limb outboard from
18
the first cut. Continue the cut through the limb until the limb
separates from the tree. Be prepared to balance the weight of
the tool when the limb falls.
Make a final cut close to trunk.
NOTE: For second and final cuts (from top of limb or branch),
hold front cutting guide against the limb being cut. This will
17
help steady the limb and make it easier to cut. Allow chain to
cut for you; exert only light downward pressure. If you force the
cut, damage to the bar, chain, or motor can result.
19
Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed. 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:
Release the trigger and disconnect the battery pack .
If the limb can be reached from the ground, lift the limb while holding the saw. This should release the
"pitch" and free the saw.
If the saw is still trapped, call a professional for assistance.
Limbing and pruning
As shown in Fig 16
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 15 cm in diameter. For best results,
observe the following precautions.
Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which the branch
will fall.
Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not stand directly
under the branch being cut.
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 Figure 16. As the angle of the pole saw shaft to ground
increases, the difficulty of making the first cut (from the underside
of limb)increases.
Remove long branches in several stages.
60°MAXIMUM
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 side of tree opposite branch you are
cutting.
Risk of injury!
Branches that are high up or under tension can wedge the saw chain in the wood!
NOTE: when you encounter the cutting wood which is under tension. It requires your special
care . Cutting wood which is under tension can release the tension. Causing the wood to react out of
control. In the worst case this can result in severe and even fatal injuries. This type of work must be
performed only by specially trained persons.
