• When removing branches,
hold the pruner at an angle
ranging from a maximum
60° to horizontal in order to
avoid being struck by a falling
branch.
• Saw off the lower branches on
the tree first. By doing so, it is
easier for the cut branches to
fall to the ground.
• Do not saw with the tip of the
guide bar. This could lead to
kick back and possible injury.
• At the end of the cut, the
weight of the pruner suddenly
increases for the user, because
it is no longer supported on
the branch. There is the risk of
losing control of the pruner.
• Only pull the pruner out of the
cut with the chain running. By
doing so, you can prevent it
from getting jammed.
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.
