SAWING TECHNIQUES
WARNING:
The risk of the operation may occurs, such as
the sharp tree branches may cut the user's skin,
the blade of the unit may hurt the user's body.
Always wear eye, hearing, hand, foot and body
protection to reduce the risk of injury when
operating this unit.
• Make sure the chain is running at full speed before
touching the branch to be cut
• When removing branches, hold the pole saw at an angle
ranging from 0 to 60° in order to avoid being struck by a
falling branch. The saw should never be operated directly
above head.
• Saw off the lower branches on the tree first. By doing so,
it is easier for the cut branches to fall to the ground.
• At the end of the cut, the weight of the saw suddenly
increases for the user, because the saw is no longer
supported on the branch. There is the risk of losing
control of the saw.
• Only pull the saw out of the cut with the saw chain
running. By doing so, you can prevent it from getting
jammed.
• Do not saw with the tip of the guide bar.
• IMPORTANT! Use the shoulder strap! Always use the
shoulder strap when working with the equipment. Switch
off the equipment before you take off the shoulder strap
(risk of injury). And hold the pole saw firmly with both
hands.
• If any foreign object is hit or if vibrations occur, stop the
machine immediately. Disconnect the battery. Check that
the machine is not damaged. Repair any damage.
• For sawing off smaller branches, place the stop face
of the saw on the branch. This prevents unwanted
movements of the saw at the beginning of the cut.
While applying light pressure, guide the saw through the
branch from top to bottom.
• For sawing off larger branches, first make a relief cut.
Saw through 1/3 of the branch diameter from the bottom
to top using the top side of the guide bar. Then saw from
top to bottom for the other 2/3 using the bottom side of
the guide bar.
• Saw off longer branches in sections in order to maintain
control over the location of impact.

guide bar by matching its hole with the fixing bolt on
the saw.
