Limbing and Pruning, See Figures 13

OPERATION

Keep the unit at full speed the entire time you are cutting.

For second and final cuts (from top of limb or branch), hold the front cutting guide against the limb being cut. This will help steady the limb and make it easier to cut.

Allow the blade to cut for you; exert only light downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the blade or unit can result.

Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the unit to stop.

LIMBING AND PRUNING

See Figures 13 - 14.

This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 4 in. in diameter.

 Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which

the branch will fall.

 Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not stand

directly under the branch being cut.

 The pole pruner should typically be positioned at an angle

of 60° or less, depending on the specific situation.

 As the boom-to-ground angle of the unit increases, the

difficulty of making the first cut (from the underside of

CUTTING GUIDE

60° MAXIMUM

limb) increases. Failure to keep the tool at the correct
angle can result in the blade binding and becoming
pinched or trapped in the limb. If this should happen:
•	Stop the unit and remove the battery pack.
• Remove the blade retaining screw, using the hex
	key supplied, then remove the unit from the trapped
	blade.
• Lift the limb while holding the blade. This should
	release the “pinch” and free the blade.
•	If the blade or pole pruner is still trapped, call a
	professional for assistance.

The long reach of the unit allows the operator to prune branches or limbs that are normally out of reach.

Long branches should be removed in several stages.

Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches more room to fall.

Work slowly, keeping both hands on the pole pruner with a firm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.

Keep the tree between you and the blade while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch you are cutting.

Do not cut from a ladder. This is extremely dangerous. Leave this operation for professionals.

Do not use for felling or bucking.

When pruning trees, it is important not to make the flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off

the limb further out to reduce the weight. This prevents stripping the bark from the main member. Underbuck the branch 1/4-way through for your first cut. Your second cut should overbuck to drop the branch off. Now make your final cut smoothly and neatly against the main member so the bark will grow back to seal the wound.

To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 50 feet of overhead electrical lines.

Keep all bystanders at least 50 ft. away.

Never climb into a tree to limb or prune. Do not stand on ladders, platforms, or a log, or in any position which can

cause you to lose your balance or control of the unit.
