Working position
1. Choose a working position where the inclination of the
pole remains at 60 degrees or less.
2. Start cutting from the lower branches first so that the
branches will fall off easily when cut.
3. The cut branches may fall towards the worker, so be sure
to select a location that enables a stable footing and
provides an easy escape in the case of an emergency.
Adjusting length of shaft assembly
1. First of all, stop the engine then set the guide bar cover.
2. Loosen the clamping knob before adjusting the length of
the shaft assembly. Be care falling down the clamping
knob by over loosing.
3. Pull out or depress the shaft assembly from the slide
holder for adjusting the shaft assembly length.
4. After adjusting the length, tighten the clamping knob firmly.

・
The Pruner is not insulated to prevent electric shock. Keep it away from any power lines with at
least 15 meters when working, as there is threat of electrocution.
