WARNING:
To prevent possible serious injury to yourself or
to others, read, understand, and follow all
instructions in this operator's manual.
OPERATION
■ Keep the unit at full speed the entire time you are
cutting.
■ For second and final cuts (from top of limb or
branch), hold the front cutting guide against the limb
being cut. This will help steady the limb and make it
easier to cut.
See Figure 14.
■ Allow the blade to cut for you; exert only light
downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to
the blade or unit can result.
■ Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed,
allowing the unit to stop.
WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
■ Cut only wood or materials made from wood; no
sheet metal, no plastics, no masonry, no non-wood
building materials.
■ Never allow children to operate your pole pruner.
Allow no person to use this pole pruner who has not
read this Operator's Manual and received adequate
instructions for the safe and proper use of this pole
pruner.
■ Keep everyone - helpers, bystanders, children, and
animals a safe distance, of at least 50 ft. (15 m),
from the cutting area.
■ Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent
being pulled off balance.
■ Cut only when visibility and light are adequate for
you to see clearly.
LIMBING AND PRUNING
See Figures 15 and 16.
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and
limbs up to 4 in. (10.25cm) in diameter.
■ Plan the cut carefully. Be aware of the direction in
which the branch will fall.
■ Branches may fall in unexpected directions. Do not
stand directly under the branch being cut.
■ The most typical cutting application is to position the
unit at an angle of 60° or less, depending on the
specific situation.
See Figure 15.
