Pruning Tips (see figures B1 – B10)
Never operate the machine in an awkward posture.
This may cause serious injury.
Keep your free hand away from the cutting area. Nev-
er touch the blades. They are very sharp and you may
cut yourself.
B1 Always wear protective gloves while pruning.
B2 Never cut too close to the stem so the wound can
heal properly.
B3 Always make the cut about 8 mm from the bud.
B4 The cut should slope away from the bud so the rain
can run off.
B5 If you remove an entire stem, cut back to the point
where it branched.
B6 Never push the blade of the pruner into the ground
to cut suckers.
B7 Cut branches one by one as shown.
B8 Remove overcrowds or crossing stems.
B9 Remove thin or weak growth.
B10 Always remove dead, damaged and diseased
branches.
