LIMBING AND PRUNING
See Figures 9 - 10.
This unit is designed for trimming small branches
and limbs up to 6 in. in diameter. For best results,
observe the following precautions.
Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction
in which the branch will fall.
Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do
not stand directly under the branch being cut.
The most typical cutting application is to posi-
tion the unit at an angle of 60° or less, depend-
ing on the specific situation, as shown. As the
angle of the pole saw shaft to ground increases,
the difficulty of making the first cut (from the
underside of limb) increases.
Remove long branches in several stages.
Cut lower branches first to allow the top branch-
es 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 side of tree opposite branch
you are cutting.
Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely
dangerous. Leave this operation for profes-
sionals.
Do not make the flush cut next to the main limb
or trunk until you have cut off the limb further out
to reduce the weight. Following proper cutting
procedures will prevent stripping the bark from
the main member.
Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.
To prevent electrocution, do not operate within
50 ft. of overhead electrical lines.
Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. away.
