OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. Basic Cutting
WARNING
• Always be sure of your footing and hold the pruning saw firmly with one hand while the
motor is running. Practice cutting a few small logs using the following technique to get the
"feel" of using your saw before you begin a major sawing operation.
a. Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw off.
b. Press the lock-off button (C) and squeeze the trigger (B) to start the saw. Let the saw chain
reach the full speed before beginning the cut.
c. Begin cutting by lightly pressing the guide bar (F) against the wood. Use only light
pressure, letting the saw do the work.
d. Maintain a steady speed throughout the cut, releasing pressure just before the end of the
cut.
e. Release the trigger as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the saw chain to stop.
WARNING
• When the saw chain is stopped due to pinching during cutting, release the trigger switch;
remove the saw chain and guide bar from the wood, then restart the pruning saw.
• Do not pull the saw chain with your hand when it is bound by the sawdust. Serious injury
could result if the saw starts accidentally. Press the saw chain against the wood, move the
saw back and forth to discharge the debris. Always remove the battery pack before cleaning.
Wear heavy protective gloves when handling the saw chain.
• Never start the pruning saw when it is in contact with the wood. Always allow the saw to
reach full speed before applying the saw to the wood.
NOTICE: For better performance, do not cut a branch with a diameter greater than 5.5 in.
(14 cm).
8. Limbing
Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree.
When limbing, leave larger limbs to support the log
off the ground. Use the pruning saw to remove the
small limbs in one cut as illustrated in Fig. 8.
WARNING
• There is an extreme danger of kickback during
the limbing operation. Be extremely cautious and
avoid contacting the log or other limbs with the
tip of the guide bar.
• The saw is not suitable for bottom-up cutting
as its kickback guard mustn't be lifted during
operation. Never use it to cut the support
branches under tension.
NOTICE: For better performance, do not cut a branch with a diameter greater than 5.5 in.
(14 cm).
