TION
Many varied objects, such as wire, cable, rope, or chains, can become entangled in the
operating parts of the mower head. These items could then swing outside the housing at
greater velocities than the blades. Such a situation is extremely hazardous and could result
in serious injury or even death. Inspect the cutting area for such objects before mowing.
Remove any like object from the site. Never allow the cutting blades to contact such items.

BuzzBar
®
Tree Limb Cutter
• The BuzzBar Tree Limb Cutter is rated for
material up to 4” in diameter.
• Suggested cutting Speed for the Buzzbar is 1st
gear. Slow down for thick, dense, or hard
material.
• Always cut with the boom positioned
perpinducular to the limbs being cut (see
diagram). Cutting with the boom swing
backward or forward will cause the blades to
warp from “raking” through the cut material.
• For maximum blade life, do not allow the
blades to contact hard items such as the
ground or metal objects.
• Check belt tension daily.If belts start to slip
adjust tension soon. The more belt slippage,
the more they will wear and looser they
become.
• Grease bearings of saw blade spindles daily.
• Two pumps from hand grease gun.
• When operating the unit be sure there are no
bystanders or animals with in 100 yards of the
unit
