First cut

1. Make the first cut 6 inches from the tree

trunk on the bottom of the limb. Use top of

guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3

through the diameter of the limb.

NOTE:

cuts, rest the foot of the pruner against the

tree limb that is being cut to prevent whipping

of the branch.

limb and make a second cut

collar from the trunk of the tree to avoid

CHECK CHAIN TENSION

WARNING:

when handling chain. The chain is sharp and

can cut you even when it is not moving. Make

chain adjustments with lower end supported.

Chain tension is very important. Chains

stretch during use. This is especially true dur-

ing the first few times you use your pruner. Al-

ways check chain tension each time you use

and refuel your unit.

1. Use a screwdriver to move chain around

guide bar to ensure kinks do not exist. The

chain should rotate freely.
