Sawing (fig. C)
u
If possible, always hold the tool with both hands using the
main handle (7) and secondary handle (8).
u
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.

Pruning branches (fig. D & E)
u
If possible, always hold the tool with both hands using the
main handle (7) and secondary handle (8).
u
Rotate the branch steady (5) till it clicks into place.
u
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
u
Position the saw so that the blade is above the branch and
the branch steady (6) is below the branch.
u
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
u
For proper cutting, the branch being cut should be in con-
tact with both sides of the pruning shoe. The cut should
be square to the branch, and not made at an angle. If
required a rotating action could be used to further improve
the speed of the pruning cut.
Warning!
The branch steady (6) is not a handle and should
never be used as a handle. Always hold the tool using the
main handle (7) and the secondary handle (8 or 9).

Hints for optimum use
u
Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
u
Regularly check the condition of accessories. Replace
when necessary.
Sawing wood
u
Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and
metal objects.
u
When splintering is to be minimised, e.g. when cutting
laminates, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to
both sides of the workpiece and saw through this sand-
wich.
Sawing metal
u
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
u
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
u
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
u
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
Cutting branches
u
Cut downward and away from your body.
u
Make the cut close to the main branch or tree body.
