LOAD
1. To turn on push the lock off
switch forward and hold
Note:
You can release the pressure on the lock-off switch once the
tool has started.
To turn off, release the on/off
trigger switch
For your safety the power handle is designed with a safety lock
off mechanism. This prevents accidental starting.
WARNING!:
Never start work unless the chain and bar are
lubricated. If the pruner is used without oil, the chain and
bar may become very hot and may wear out very quickly
due to the strong friction, potentially causing kick back of
the guide bar and possible chain breakage.
WARNING!:
Never use the pole pruner when standing on
a ladder or uneven ground. If the chain comes in contact
with a hard object, visually inspect the chain & bar for
damage. If the chain or bar is damaged, do not continue
to operate the pole pruner.
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to
150mm in diameter.
Limbing
Limbing is the process of
removing the branches from a
fallen tree. Check the direction
in which a branch will bend
before cutting it. Always cut on
the opposite side to the bending
direction so that the guide bar is
not pinched in the cut.
For large limbs that cannot be removed in one cut, make an initial
cut from the bent side and finish by sawing from the opposite
direction. Do not remove limbs that are supporting the fallen tree
on the ground until the tree has been cut into lengths.
Pruning
Pruning is the removal of a limb or branch from a standing tree.
60°MAXIMUM
The most typical cutting
application is to position the unit at
an angle of 60° or less, depending
on the specific situation. As the
angle of the pruner shaft to ground
increases, the difficulty of making
the first cut (from the underside of
limb) increases.
To prevent electrocution, do not
operate within 15m of overhead
electrical lines.
Keep bystanders at least 15m.
away.
