LIMBING AND PRUNING
This pole saw attachment is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 8"
in diameter. For best results, observe the following precautions.
1.
Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which the branch will fall.
WARNING:
under the branch being cut.
2.
The most typical cutting application is to posi tion the unit at an angle of 60° or
less, depend ing on the specific situation, as shown in Fig. 8. As the angle of the
pole-saw shaft to the ground increases, the difficulty of making the first cut (from
the underside of limb) increases.
3.
Remove long branches in several stages.
4.
Cut lower branches first to allow the top branch es more room to fall.
5.
Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm grip. Maintain secure
footing and balance.
6.
Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing. Cut from the side of the
tree opposite the branch you are cutting.
7.
Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dan gerous. Leave such operations for
professionals.
8.
Do not make the flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off
much of limb to reduce the weight. Following proper cutting procedures will
prevent stripping the bark from the main member.
9.
Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.
10. To prevent electrocution, do not
operate within 50 ft. (15m) of
overhead electrical lines (Fig. 8).
11. Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. (15m)
away (Fig. 8).
