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.
Limbing and pruning
This pole saw is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 8" (200mm) 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:
under the branch being cut.
◾
The most typical cutting application
is to position the unit at an angle of
60° or less, depending on the specific
situation, as shown in Fig. 13d. As
the angle of the pole saw shaft to
the 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 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 the flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off
much of the limb 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. (15 m) of overhead electrical
lines (Fig. 13d).
◾
Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. (15 m) away (Fig. 13d).
