Keep a Solid Stance
• Maintain footing and balance at all times. Do not stand on slippery,
uneven or unstable surfaces. Do not work in odd positions or on ladders.
Do not over reach.
• Operate the Power Pruner® only from the ground or out of an approved
bucket lift.
• Always evaluate the branches to be pruned for hazards such as loose
dead branches which may fall and strike the operator or helpers. Remove
hazards before pruning.
• Plan retreat path from falling objects.
• Cut branches bounce when striking ground.
• Check that shoulder harness is adjusted for safe, comfortable operation.
• Turn the Power Pruner off when moving from tree to tree.
Kickback
Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the Power
Pruner
®
and result in serious injury to the operator or any one
standing close by. Hold the Power Pruner firmly with both hands
with thumbs and fingers encircling the front and rear handles.
Be aware of the down and outward path the pruner will take after
the cut is made.
Kickback may occur when the moving
saw chain at the nose or tip of the
guide bar touches an object, or when
the wood closes in and pinches the
saw chain in the cut. In some cases
this may cause a lightning-fast
reverse action, kicking the guide bar
and saw chain up and back or down
and back towards the operator. Either
of these reactions may cause the
operator to lose control of the Power
Pruner which could result in serious
personal injury.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the
element of surprise which contributes to accidents.
