• Long branches should be removed in several pieces.
• Do not stand directly beneath branch being cut.
• When ready to cut, hold the
cutting shoe against the branch.
This will prevent whipping of the
branch. DO NOT use back and
forth sawing action.
• Look out for branches
immediately behind the branch
being cut. If saw chain hits a rear
branch damage to the saw chain
and guide bar may occur.
• Accelerate to full throttle.

nearing end of cut to maintain
control.
