The most typical cutting application is to position the unit at an angle of 60° or less, depending
on the specific situation, as shown. As the angle of the pole saw shaft to ground increases,
the difficulty of making the first cut (from the underside of limb) increases.
•
Remove long branches in several stages.
• Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches more room to fall.
• Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm grip. Maintain secure footing and
balance.
•
Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing. Cut from side of tree opposite branch
you are cutting.
•
Do not cut from a ladder. This is extremely dangerous. Leave this operation for professionals.
• Do not make the flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off the limb further
out to reduce the weight. Following proper cutting procedures will prevent stripping the bark
from the main member.
•
Do not use the pole saw for felling or bucking.
•
To prevent electrocution, do not operate within 50' (15 m) of overhead electrical lines.
•
Keep bystanders at least 50' (15 m) away.
