Pruning trees

CAUTION:
- Keep all parts of the body away from the saw chain when
the motor is operating.
- Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the motor
is running.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
- This saw may be used to cut branches and wood pieces
with a maximum thickness of 11.5 cm (4.5").
- Bring the tip guard/front face of housing into contact with
the branch to be cut before switching on. Cutting without
bringing the tip guard/front face of housing into contact with
the branch may cause the guide bar to wobble, resulting in
injury to operator (Fig. 10 & 11)
- When cutting thick branches, first make a shallow undercut
and then make the finish cut from the top. (Fig. 12)
- If you try to cut off thick branches from the bottom, the
branch may close in and pinch the saw chain in the cut.
- If you try to cut off thick branches from the top without a
shallow undercut, the branch may splinter (Fig. 13)
- If you cannot cut the timber right through with a single
stroke: Apply light pressure to the handle and continue
sawing and draw the chain saw back a little; then apply the
spike a little lower and finish the cut by raising the handle
(Fig. 14)
