OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. Limbing and Pruning
This pole saw is designed for trimming small
branches and limbs up to 8" in diameter. For best
results, observe the following precautions:
• Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction
in which the branch will fall.
WARNING
• Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do
not stand directly under the branch being cut.
• The most typical cutting application is to
position the pole saw at an angle of 60°or less,
depending on the specific situation. As the angle
of the pole-saw shaft to the ground increases,
the difficulty of making the first cut (from the
underside of the limb) increases.
• Remove long branches in several stages.
• 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 the side of the tree
opposite the branch you are cutting.
• Do not cut from a ladder this is extremely dangerous. Leave such operations for
professionals.
• Do not make a flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off much of limb to
reduce the weight. Following proper cutting procedures will prevent stripping the bark from
the main trunk or limb.
• Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.
• To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 50 ft. (15m) of overhead electrical lines.
• Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. (15m) away.
