PREPARATION FOR CUTTING

• Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
• Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the motor is running. Use your right hand to firmly grip the rear handle while
your left hand has a firm grip on the pole shaft.
• Hold unit firmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand on the pole shaft and your right hand on the rear handle, so
your body is to the left of the chain line. Never use a left-handed (cross- handed) grip, or any stance that places your body
or arm across the chain line.
• Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
• Be certain the collars are fully tightened before operating equipment; check them periodically for tightness during use to
avoid serious injury.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
Follow the steps below to prevent damage to tree or shrub bark. Do not use a back-and-forth sawing motion.
• Make a shallow first cut (1/4 of limb diameter) on the underside of the limb close to the main limb or trunk.
• Make a second cut from the top side of the limb outboard from the first cut. Continue the cut through the limb until the
limb separates from the tree. Be prepared to balance the weight of the tool when the limb falls.
• Make a final cut close to trunk.
