Limbing and pruning
This unit designed for trimming small branches and limbs up to 100mm diameter. For best
results, observe the following precautions.
Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in which the branch will fall. Never stand
directly under the limb you are cutting. Always position yourself out of the path of falling
debris.
The most typical cutting application is to position the unit at an angle of 60º or less, Fig 15,
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.
Remove the long branches in several stages.
Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches more room to fall.
Work slowly. Keep both hands on the saw with a firm grip. Maintain secure footing and
balance.
Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing. Cut from side of tree opposite
branch you are cutting.
Never stand on a ladder or other unstable support while using the pole saw. Always avoid
any position which can cause you to loose your balance and cause severe injury.
Do not make the flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off the limb
further out to reduce the weight. Following proper cutting procedures will prevent stripping
the bark from the main member.
Keep others persons at least 50 feet (15m) from the work area. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Risk of electrocution hazard. To prevent shock, do not operate within 50 (15m) of overhead
electrical lines. Always check surrounding area for hidden electrical lines.
Do not overreach. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly
on both feet.
