BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
(Fig. 5 AND 6)
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 tool when
the limb falls.
3. Make a final cut close to trunk.
NOTICE:
For second and final cuts (from
the top of the limb or branch), hold the bucking spikes against the limb being cut (Fig.
6). 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 pole 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 happens:
1. Switch off the tool 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 get away the saw.
LIMBING AND PRUNING
This pole saw attachment is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 8"
(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.
