PREPARATION FOR CUTTING
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES
See Figure 2.
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
■
protection.
Maintain a proper grip on the unit when in operation.
■
Use your right hand to firmly grip the rear handle
while your left hand has a firm grip on the front
handle.
Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
■
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
See Figures 12 and 13.
Accelerate the unit to full throttle just before entering
■
the cut by squeezing the throttle trigger.
DO NOT use a back and forth sawing type motion for
■
cutting.
The following steps should be followed to prevent
■
damage to tree or shrub bark. See Figure 12.
- The first cut should be a shallow cut (1/4 of the
limb diameter) on underside of limb or trunk.
- The second cut should be made from the top
side of the limb outboard from first cut.
- Make the final cut close to trunk.
Keep the unit at full throttle the entire time you are
■
cutting.
For second and final cuts (from top of limb or branch),
■
hold the front cutting guide against the limb being cut.
This will help steady the limb and make it easier to
cut.See Figure 13.
Allow the blade to cut for you; exert only light
■
downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to
the blade or unit can result.
Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed,
■
allowing the unit to idle. If you run the pole pruner at
full throttle without a cutting load, unnecessary wear
or damage can occur to the unit.
WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
Cut only wood or materials made from wood; no
■
sheet metal, no plastics, no masonry, no non-wood
building materials.
Never allow children to operate your pole pruner.
■
Allow no person to use this pole pruner who has not
read this Operator's Manual and received adequate
instructions for the safe and proper use of this pole
pruner.
Keep everyone - helpers, bystanders, children, and
■
animals a safe distance, of at least 15 m (50 ft.). from
the cutting area.
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent
