Pruning
Do not cut above shoulder height. Use a pole
saw to cut limbs above shoulder height or hire a
professional. Do not operate the unit in a tree or
on a ladder unless specifically trained to do so.
WARNING
Falling branches can cause serious injury. Always
wear appropriate head protection. Plan an escape
route away from falling limbs. Do not position any
body parts directly below the limb when cutting.
WARNING
Pruning is the process of cutting limbs from a living
tree.
1. Make the first cut approximately 6 inches (15 cm)
from the tree trunk. Cut upward, from the underside
of the limb. Use the top of the guide bar to make
this cut. Cut a third of the way through the diameter
of the limb (Fig. 21).
2. Make the second cut 2 - 4 inches (5 - 10 cm)
farther out on the limb. Cut downward, from the
top of the limb. Use the bottom of the guide bar to
make this cut. Cut completely through the limb
(Fig. 21).
3. Make the third cut as close to the tree trunk as
possible. Cut upward, from the underside of the
limb stub. Use the top of the guide bar to make this
cut. Cut a third of the way through the diameter of
the limb (Fig. 21).
4. Make the fourth cut directly above the third cut.
Cut downward, from the top of the limb stub. Use
the bottom of the guide bar to make this cut. Cut
completely through the limb stub to meet the third
cut (Fig. 21). This will remove the limb stub.
