OPERATION
Cutting lower branches first will allow the top branches
■
more room to fall.
Work slowly, keeping both hands on the pole pruner
■
with a firm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.
Keep the tree between you and the blade while
■
limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the
branch you are cutting.
Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely dangerous.
■
Leave this operation for professionals.
Do not use for felling or bucking.
■
When pruning trees it is important not to make the
■
flush cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have
cut off the limb further out to reduce the weight.
This prevents stripping the bark from the main
member. Underbuck the branch 1/4 way through for
your first cut, your second cut should overbuck to
drop the branch off. Now make your final cut
smoothly and neatly against the main member so the
bark will grow back to seal the wound. See Figure 11.
WARNING
Never climb into a tree to limb or prune.
Do not stand on ladders, platforms, a log or in any
position which can cause you to lose your balance
or control of the unit.
