Operation

DANGER
• Do not stand immediately below the
branch that is to be cut. The branch may
fall directly below and the branch may
also bounce of f other branches or the
ground in an unexpected direction and
cause injur y to the worker.
• Do not allow anyone to enter within a 15
meter radius.
• The Pruner is not insulated to prevent
electric shock. Keep it away from any
power lines with at least 15 meters when
w o r k i n g , a s t h e r e i s t h r e a t o f
electrocution.
Working position
1. Choose a working position where the inclination of
the pole remains at 60 degrees or less.
2. Start cutting from the lower branches first so that the
branches will fall off easily when cut.
3. The cut branches may fall towards the worker, so be
sure to select a location that enables a stable footing
and provides an easy escape in the case of an
emergency.
WARNING
• Wear a hat or helmet, protective glasses,
gloves and ear plugs while working.
F u r t h e r m o r e , w e a r a d u s t m a s k
whenever a lot of pollen or chipping
powder is expected, which may be
harmful for the health.
Cutting wood
1. Turn the pruner on full throttle and press the saw
chain lightly against the wood to cut.
2. The cutting capacity is reduced when the engine
revolution is slowed down and the saw chain is
pressed hard against the wood.
IMPORTANT
• Pressing the saw chain hard against the wood not
only tires the operator quicker but also quickens
the wear of the saw chain and guide bar.
• If wood cannot be cut without pressing the saw
chain hard against it, this indicates that the saw
chain is becoming dull. In such cases, either
sharpen the saw chain or replace it with a new
chain.
Pruning thick branches
Attempting to cut a thick branch in one go often results
in the guide bar jamming in the branch or otherwise
encountering difficulties in cutting. The method
described below makes cutting thick branches easier:
1. First of all, cut a section slightly away and on the
lower side of the desired area of the branch to be cut.
2. Then, start cutting from the upper side of the branch.
3. Thereafter, cut into
t h e l o w e r s i d e
where the desired
area of branch is to
be cut.
4. Finally, cut through
from the upper side
where the branch is
to be cut, cutting
the branch off.
