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 rmly grip
the rear handle while your left hand has a rm grip on the pole shaft.
• Hold unit rmly with both hands. Always keep your left hand on the pole shaft and your right hand on
the rear handle so that your body is to the left of the chain line. Never use a left-handed (crosshanded)
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 couplers 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 rst 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 rst 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 nal cut close to trunk.
