PROCEDURES FOR CUTTING
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES
See Figure 9.
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection.
Maintain a proper grip on the unit when in operation. Use
your right hand to firmly grip the rear handle while your
left hand has a firm grip on the front handle.
Never stand directly under the limb you are cutting.
BASIC CUTTING PROCEDURE
See Figures 11 - 12.
Cut only wood or materials made from wood: no sheet
metal, no plastics, no masonry, no non-wood building
materials.
Accelerate the unit to full speed just before entering the
cut by squeezing the trigger.
Do not use a back-and-forth sawing-type motion for
cutting.
To prevent damage to tree or shrub bark:
The first cut should be a shallow cut (1/4 of the limb
diameter) on underside of limb or trunk.
The second cut should be made from the top side of the
limb outboard from first cut.
Make the final cut close to the trunk and from the top of
the branch.
