throttle and apply a light cutting pres-
sure.
DO NOT use back and forth
sawing action.

the tree trunk on the bottom of the
limb. Use top of guide bar to make
this cut. Cut 1/3 through the diam-
eter of the limb.
NOTE:
When making the second and
third cuts, rest the foot of the pruner
against
the tree limb that is being cut
to prevent whipping
of the branch.
