LIMBING AND PRUNING
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 6” (15 cm) in diameter. For
best results, observe the following precautions.
• Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which the branch will fall.
• Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not stand directly under the branch being
cut.
• 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.
• 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.
