operating the saw chain pole pruner.
a) Keep all parts of the body away from the saw
chain. Make sure the switch is off when clearing
jammed material. Saw chain continues to move
after the switch is turned off. A moment of
inattention while operating the pole pruner may
result in serious personal injury.
b) Carry the pole pruner by the handle with the saw
chain stopped. When transporting or storing the
pole pruner, always fit the saw chain device cover.
Proper handling of the pole pruner will reduce
possible personal injury from the saw chain.
c) Hold the pole pruner by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the saw chain may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. A saw
chain contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the pole pruner "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
d) Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be
accidentally cut by the saw chain.
e) Do not use the pole pruner in bad weather
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck
by lightning.
f) To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use
near any electrical power lines. Contact with or
use
near power lines may cause serious injury or
electric shock resulting in death.
g) Always use two hands when operating the pole
pruner. Hold the pole pruner with both hands to
avoid loss of control.
h) Always use head protection when operating the
pole pruner overhead. Falling debris can result in
serious personal injury.

Instructions concerning the proper techniques
for limbing and cross-cutting
1. Limbing a tree
Limbing is removing the branches from a fallen tree.
When limbing leave larger lower limbs to support the
log off the ground. Remove the small limbs in one
cut as illustrated in Figure 1. Branches under tension
should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding
the pruning saw.
