INSTRUCTION MANUAL
PRUNER
WARNING
The Pruner is supplied with a low KICKBACK chain, however some mes kick back can occur, so always hold
the unit firmly in two hands. The Kickback danger zone on your Pruner is the upper part of the nose of the
guide bar. Never saw using this part of the guide bar, which poses a significant risk for kickback.
Pos on the hook located on the bo om of the head against the branch, to reduce the risk of the pruner
jerking forward.
Ensure the chain is running in the correct dire on.
Thin branches can be removed with a single cut, but if the branch is long, it is preferable to cut it in several
pieces, moving towards the main trunk of the tree.
Always check for any damage before each use and replace a damaged chain immediately, with an
approved replacement part.
Before every use, check the level of the chain oil in the reservoir.
During use, check the tension of the chain. (See Maintenance Sec on For Instru on)
Always fit the supplied blade guard when the Pruner A achment is not in use.
For larger branches, the 3-point method should be used to prevent breakage.
Do not work at an angle, higher than 60 degree’s, there is a danger of being injured by branches falling
without warning. Also be careful not to trip over grounded branches.

BRUSHCUTTER
Always keep a firm grip with both hands during opera on
The machine should be held at a comfortable pos on, with the trigger handle at hip height. Adjust the
harness to suit.
Maintain a firm foo ng in case the machine hits a solid object & kicks back.
Do not use the metal blade near fencing, posts, buildings or other immoveable objects – use the nylon
head.
Best results are obtained if you cut from right to le , in a broad sweeping mo n.
If a hard object is struck, immediately stop the machine and inspect for damage.
WARNING

y Wires, Metal Stakes, Rubber, Masonry, Rocks,
Fences, and Trees.
DANGER
DO NOT cut with a dull, cracked or damaged metal blade.
Before cu ng, inspect for obstru ons. If an obstru on cannot be removed, mark its loca n clearly so you
can avoid it during opera on.
Rocks & metal can dull or damage a blade. Wires can wrap around the blade head or be thrown in the air.
SCYTHING WEEDS
This is cu ng by swinging the blade in a level arc. It can quickly clear areas of field grass and weeds. Scything
should not be used to cut large, tough weeds or woody growths.
Scything can be done in both dire ons, or just in one way which results in the debris being thrown away from
you. This is done by using the side of the blade that it is rota ng away from you. Tilt the blade downwards
slightly, on this same side .You will be hit by some debris if you scythe in both dire ons
