Check that the saw chain can move freely
by pulling on it at the top of the blade while
wearing gloves.
It is important for optimum performance of
the pruning saw and to maximise the service
life of the saw chain that it is tightened
correctly.
If you have fi tted a brand new saw chain,
you should allow the pruning saw to run
freely for 2-3 minutes and then check the saw
chain's tension.
Use
Take hold of the front handle (10) with your
left hand and the rear handle (11) with your
right hand.
bl
First press the safety button (8) and then
press the on/off button (9).
Note! The safety button can be released once
the pruning saw is running.
Begin sawing when the pruning saw has
reached full speed.
Release the on/off button immediately if the
saw chain gets stuck in the wood.
If the on/off button is released, the pruning
saw will stop.

Note! The saw chain may expand when hot.
Check regularly to see if the saw chain needs
tightening, to avoid it coming off the blade. If
the chain is tightened whilst it is hot, it must
be loosened again when cool so that it does
not become too tight.
The saw chain can be tightened and
loosened by turning the chain tensioner
knob (6) towards the "+" or "-" symbol.
Pruning
Always use the underside of the blade to saw.
Place the bark support (d) on the pruning
saw against the branch to be cut and saw
through the branch by tipping the rear of the
pruning saw upwards using the bark support
as the centre of rotation.

Allow the saw chain to work through without
pressing the pruning saw hard against the
wood.
As the blade gradually works through the
branch, tilt the protective shield up to
continue to protect yourself against the saw
chain.
