How to Use Saw Safely
1. Use the pruning saw only with secure footing.
2. Hold the pruning saw at the right-hand side of your
body (See Fig. L).
3. The Chain must be running at full speed before it
makes contact with the wood.
4. Use the Base Plate to secure the saw onto the wood
before starting to cut.
5. Use the Base Plate as a leverage point while cutting.
(See Fig. M)
6. Raise the Chain Guard when cutting from bottom to
top of material. (See Fig. N)
7. Do not operate the saw with arms fully extended,
attempt to saw areas which are difficult to reach, or
stand on a ladder while sawing. (See Fig. O)
Never use the pruning saw above shoulder height.
Cutting Wood under Tension (See Fig. P)
WARNING: When cutting a limb that is under
tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for
wood springing back. When wood tension is
released, limb could spring back and strike
operator causing severe injury or death.
When sawing logs supported on both ends, start the
cut from above(Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into the
log (overbuck) and then finish the cut (Z) from below,
in order to avoid contact of the pruning saw with the
ground. When sawing logs supported on only one end,
start the cut from below (Y) about 1/3 of the diameter into
the log (underbuck) and finish the cut from above (Z)
in order to avoid log splitting or jamming of the pruning
saw.
OPERATION FOR POLE SAW (ONLY FOR WG324.1)
18
Cutting with extension pole
1. Install the battery pack into the machine.
2. Before cutting a high branch, consider all the same
points detailed in the previous section "Trimming
Branches" but pay particular attention to the likely
path of the falling branch.
WARNING: Do not stand directly below a branch
being cut. Keep bystanders far away. Do not stand
on a ladder or other type of unstable support
while using the tool. Do not use the tool near cable,
electrical power or telephone lines. Keep 3m away
from all power lines. (See Fig. Q1-Q4)
3. Use both hands to grip Pole Saw. Use only designated
grip areas when operating Pole Saw (See Fig. Q5).
Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers must wrap around
Pole Saw handle and pole.
4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide
your weight evenly on both feet.
5. When ready to make a cut, press the Lock-out Button,
then fully press the On/off Switch (See Fig. Q6). This
will turn Pole Saw on. Releasing On/off Switch will
turn Pole Saw off. Make sure saw is running at full
speed before starting a cut.
6. When starting a cut, place moving chain against
wood. Hold Pole Saw firmly in place to avoid possible
bouncing or skating (sideways movement) of saw.
7. Guide Pole Saw using light pressure. Do not force
Pole Saw. The motor will overload and can burn out. It
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
Cordless Pruning Saw
was intended.
8. Remove Pole Saw from a cut with saw running at full
speed. Stop Pole Saw by releasing trigger. Make sure
chain has stopped before setting Pole Saw down.
