Working position
1. Choose a working position where the inclination of the pole remains at 60 degrees or less.
2. Start cutting from the lower branches first so that the branches will fall off easily when cut.
3. The cut branches may fall towards the worker, so be sure to select a location that enables a stable foot-
ing and provides an easy escape in the case of an emergency.
Cutting wood
1. Turn the pruner on full throttle and press the saw chain lightly
against the wood to cut.
2. The cutting capacity is reduced when the engine revolution is
slowed down and the saw chain is pressed hard against the
wood.
IMPORTANT:
• Pressing the saw chain hard against the wood not only
tires the operator quicker but also quickens the wear of
the saw chain and guide bar.
• If wood cannot be cut without pressing the saw chain hard
against it, this indicates that the saw chain is becoming dull.
In such cases, either sharpen the saw chain or replace it with
a new chain.
WARNING
・
Wear a hat or helmet, protective glasses, gloves and ear plugs while working.
Furthermore, wear a dust mask whenever a lot of pollen or chipping powder is expected, which
may be harmful for the health.

Operation
DANGER
・
Do not stand immediately below the branch that is to be cut. The branch may fall directly below
and the branch may also bounce off other branches or the ground in an unexpected direction
and cause injury to the worker.
・
Do not allow anyone to enter within a 15 meter radius.
・
The Pruner is not insulated to prevent electric shock. Keep it away from any power lines with at
least 15 meters when working, as there is threat of electrocution.
