Maintenance

S Watch out for springpoles. Springpoles are small size limbs which can catch the chain and whip toward you or pull you off balance. Use extreme caution when cutting small size limbs or slender material.

SWatch out for branches immediately behind the branch being pruned. If the chain hits

the rear branch, damage to the unit may oc- cur.

S Be alert for springback. Watch out for branches that are bent or under pressure. Avoid being struck by the branch or the pruner when the tension in the wood fibers is released.

SKeep a clear work area. Frequently clear branches out of the way to avoid tripping over them.

SLong branches should be removed in sev- eral pieces.

PRUNING TECHNIQUE

When ready to cut, accelerate to full throttle and apply a light cutting pressure. DO NOT use back and forth sawing action.

Second cut

Third cut

Collar

First cut

Pruning technique

1.Make the first cut 6 inches from the tree trunk on the bottom of the limb. Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3

through the diameter of the limb. NOTE: When making the second and third cuts, rest the foot of the pruner against the tree limb that is being cut to prevent whipping of the branch.

Foot

2.Next, move 2 -- 4 inches farther out on the limb and make a second cut all the way through the limb.

3.Then, make a final cut leaving a 1 -- 2 inch collar from the trunk of the tree to avoid damage to the tree.

WARNING: Always stop unit and dis- connect spark plug wire (or disconnect pow- erhead from power source) before performing maintenance.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS

Contact an authorized service dealer for re- placement of damaged or worn parts.

INSPECT AND CLEAN UNIT AND DECALS

SAfter each use, inspect complete unit for loose or damaged parts. Clean the unit and decals using a damp cloth with a mild deter-

gent.

SWipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.

CHECK CHAIN TENSION

WARNING: Wear protective gloves when handling chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you even when it is not moving. Make chain adjustments with lower end supported. Chain tension is very important. Chains stretch during use. This is especially true dur- ing the first few times you use your pruner. Al- ways check chain tension each time you use and refuel your unit.
