The Power Pruner

is designed for light to medium trimming of limbs

and branches up to 203 mm (8 in.) in diameter. Follow these tips for

successful operation.

• Plan cut carefully. Check direction branch will fall.

• Plan retreat path from falling branch. Cut branches bounce when

striking ground.

• Long branches should be removed in several pieces.

• Do not stand directly beneath branch being cut.

• When ready to cut:

Hold "cutting shoe" against branch. This will prevent whipping of the

branch. DO NOT use back and forth sawing action.

• Look out for branch immediately behind the branch being cut. If saw

chain hits rear branch damage to saw chain may occur.

• Accelerate to full throttle.

• Apply cutting pressure.

• Ease cutting pressure when nearing end of cut to maintain control.

• When pruning a limb 102 mm (4 in.) diameter or larger cut as fol-

lows:

1. Under cut 1/4 limb diameter near tree trunk.

2. Finish top cut slightly farther out on limb.

3. Flush cut stub at trunk.

• DO NOT use for felling or bucking.
