The Power Pruner
TM
is designed for light to medium trimming of limbs
and branches up to 20 cm in diameter. Follow these tips for successful
operation.
• Plan cut carefully. Check direction branch will fall.
• Plan retreat path from falling branch. Cut branches bounce when
striking ground.
• Long branches should be removed in several pieces.
• Do not stand directly beneath branch being cut.
• When ready to cut:
Hold "cutting shoe" against branch. This will prevent whipping of the
branch. DO NOT use back and forth sawing action.
• Look out for branch immediately behind the branch being cut. If saw
chain hits rear branch damage to saw chain and guide bar may occur.
• Accelerate to full throttle.
• Apply cutting pressure.
• Ease cutting pressure when nearing end of cut to maintain control.
• When pruning a limb 10 cm diameter or larger cut as follows:
1. Under cut 1/4 limb diameter near tree trunk.
2. Finish top cut slightly farther out on limb.
3. Flush cut stub at trunk.
• DO NOT use for felling or bucking.
