Proper Cutting Stance

Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground ( Figure 15 ).

Your body should always be to the left of the Chain Line.

The most typical cutting application is to position the unit at an angle of
60
°
or less depending on the specific situation. As the angle of the pole saw
shaft to ground increases, the difficulty of making the first cut (from the
underside of limb) increases.
Basic Cutting Procedure
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 6 in. in
diameter. Practice cutting a few small limbs using the following technique to get
the "feel" of using the Saw before you begin a major sawing operation.

Take the proper stance in front of the tree with the Saw OFF ( Figure 15 ).

Start the Saw and let the Chain accelerate to full speed before entering the cut.

Keep the Saw running the entire time you are cutting, maintain a steady
speed.

Allow the Chain to cut for you; exert only light, downward pressure. If you
force the cut, damage to the Bar, Chain, or unit can result.

Push and Pull – This reaction force is always opposite to the direction the
Chain is moving when it is in contact with the wood. Thus, the operator must
be ready to control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the Bar, and
PUSH when cutting along the top edge.

Do not put pressure on the Saw at the end of the cut.
Pruning
Pruning is trimming limbs from a live tree ( Figure 16 ).

Remove long branches in several stages.

Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches more room to fall.

When pruning trees, it is important not to make the finishing cut next to the
main limb or trunk until you have cut off the limb further out to reduce the
weight. This prevents stripping the bark from the main member.

Under cut the branch 1/3 through for your first cut. Your second cut should
over cut to drop the branch off. Be prepared to balance the weight of the Pole
Saw tool when the limb falls.
Note: For the second and final cuts (from top of limb or branch), hold front Cutting
Guide against the limb you are cutting ( Figure 17 ). This will help steady the
limb and make it easier to cut. Allow the Chain to cut for you; exert only
light, downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the Bar, Chain, or Motor can result.

Now make your finishing cut from the topside of the branch smoothly and neatly against the main member so the bark will
grow back to seal the wound.

Release the Trigger ON/OFF Switch as soon as the cut is completed. Failure to follow proper cutting procedures will result in
the Bar and Chain binding and becoming pinched or trapped in the limb.
Limbing
Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree.

You should cut limbs one at a time. Remove the cut limbs from the work area often to help keep the work area clean and safe.

Cut branches under tension from the bottom up to avoid binding the Pole Saw.

Keep the tree between you and the Pole Saw while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch you are cutting.
