• When on a slope always stand on the uphill side of the
log. When “cutting through,” to maintain complete control
reduce the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without
relaxing your grip on the pruner handles. Don’t let the chain
contact the ground. After completing the cut, wait for the
pruner chain to stop before you move the pruner. Always
stop the motor before moving from cut tocut.
MAINTENANCE
