this cut. Cut 1/3 through the diam-
eter of the limb.
NOTE:
When making the second and
third cuts, rest the foot of the pruner
against

Wear protective
gloves when handling chain. The chain
is sharp and can cut you even when it
is not moving. Make chain adjustments
with lower end supported.
Chain tension is very important. Chains
stretch during use. This is especially
true during the first few times you use
your pruner. Always check chain ten-
sion each time you use and refuel your
unit.
1. Use the screwdriver
end of the
chain adjustment
tool (bar tool) to
move chain around guide bar to
ensure kinks do not exist. The
chain should rotate freely.
