BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
(Fig. 17 & 18)
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 a 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 machine 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. 18). This will help to steady the limb
and make it easier to cut. Allow the chain
to cut for you; only exert light downward
pressure. If you force the cut, damage to
the bar, chain, or motor can result.
4. Release the trigger switch 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 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.
