Attaching the Pruner to the Power Head Assembly

No tools are required to attach the pruner to the power head.

1.Pull the spring pin up on the adapter of the power head shaft assembly. (Picture 7)

2.Carefully fit pruner drive shaft into adapter, making sure that male spline of the inner drive shaft engages into the female spline socket of the power head shaft.

3.When the drive shaft is properly aligned, the spring pin will drop into the hole on the shaft of the pruner attachment. A click should be heard when completed.

4.Insure two shaft parts are fully engaged by twisting them. Full engagement will prevent shaft rotation.

5.Secure assembly by tightening the knob. (Picture 8)

6.Unit handles can be re-adjusted to the operator’s preference by simple loosening the screws and sliding handles up or down the shaft.

Pruning techniques

2.If branch is long, remove it in several pieces.

3.Do not stand directly under the branch being cut.

4.With both hands on the handles, push lockout trigger button with your thumb and squeeze trigger. Start cutting when chain rotates at full RPM.

Balancing the unit

Check the balance of the assembled unit. The handles and shoulder harness have been assembled at the factory and set according to the average size person. This can be adjusted to the operator’s preference by simple loosening the screws and sliding handles up or down the shaft. Re-tighten the screws.

How to cut thicker branches

If you need to cut 7-10 cm diametre branches use the following technique:

1.Start cutting from the bottom of the branch moving pruner up. (Fig 1)

2.Finish the cut by starting from the top of the branch and moving down. (Fig. 2)
