Then make the final cut from the top of the branch using the bottom side of the chain. (see figure 20)
Figure 20
Making the initial cut on the underside of the branch will prevent the branch from splintering when it falls away from the tree. Never try to cut the branch completely from the underside. This will cause the branch to bind on the chain and could stall the motor causing damage to the saw.
Do not stop the saw until after it is removed from the cut. Release the trigger to stop the saw. Be sure the chain has come to a complete stop before setting the pole saw down. The chain will immediately become dull if it contacts the ground while still running.
WALL BRACKET
Mount the wall bracket securely to the wall; attach with screws to a wall stud. The use of wall board anchors is NOT recommended. Place the tool attachment in the wall bracket as shown for convenient storage. (see figure 21)
