PRUNING

WARNING: Be alert for and guard against kickback. Do not allow the moving chain to contact any other branches or ob- jects at the nose of the guide bar when prun- ing. Allowing such contact can result in seri- ous injury.

IMPORTANT POINTS

S Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly gripped on the pruner. Maintain secure footing and balance.

SPlan cut carefully. Check direction branch will fall.

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 occur.

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.

S Long branches should be removed in several pieces.
