2). Never stand directly under the limb you are sawing.
Objects may fall different than expected. Always position
yourself out of the path of falling limps. Keep other persons
away from cutting end of garden power tool and at a safe
distance from the work area. Maintain a minimum distance
of 10 m to bystanders. Never stand on a ladder or other type
of unstable support while using the pruner. Insecure stand
could result in accidents. (See Fig.12b)
3). Ensure that the power cord is located to the rear, away
from the chain and wood and positioned in such a way that
it will not be caught on branches or the like during cutting.
4). Use the pruner only with secure footing. Hold the pruner
at the right-hand side of your body.
5). Do not operate the pruner with arms fully extended or
attempt to saw in areas which are difficult to reach.
6). Keep a firm, steady pressure on the pruner while
working. Do not try to force the pruner through the wood,
let the chain do the work; use the gripping teeth to apply
minimal leverage pressure.
7). Beware when reaching the end of the cut. The weight of
the pruner may change unexpectedly as it cuts free from the
wood. Accidents can occur to legs and feet. Always remove
the pruner from a wood cut while it is running.

1). CUT THIN BRANCHES
Thin branches can be cut off with one single cut. To prevent
the branch from slivering and buckling the branch should be
cut off in several pieces. (See Fig.13)
