OPERATION

LIMBING AND PRUNING

See Figures 9 - 10.

This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 6 in. in diameter. For best results, observe the following precautions.

n Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which the branch will fall.

n Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not stand directly under the branch being cut.

	n The most typical cutting application is to posi-
	tion the unit at an angle of 60° or less, depend-	60° MAXIMUM

	underside of limb) increases.
	n Remove long branches in several stages.
	n Cut lower branches first to allow the top branch-
	es more room to fall.

n Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.

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

	n Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely	Fig. 10

n Do not make the flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off the limb further out to reduce the weight. Following proper cutting procedures will prevent stripping the bark from the main member.

n Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.

n To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 50 ft. of overhead electrical lines.

n Keep bystanders at least 50 ft. away.
