Cutting Tips
Proper Cutting Stance
• Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground.
• Your body should always be to the left of the chain line.
• The most typical cutting application is to position the unit at
an angle of 60° or less depending on the specific situation
(Fig. 24). As the angle of the pole chain saw shaft to the
ground increases, the difficulty of making the first cut (from
the underside of limb) increases.

Basic Cutting Procedure
This unit is designed for trimming small branches and limbs up
to 9.5 in. (24.1 cm) in diameter depending on the wood type.
Practice cutting a few small limbs using the following technique
to get the "feel" of using the saw before you begin a major
sawing operation.
• Take the proper stance in front of the tree with the
saw OFF (Fig. 24).
• Squeeze the trigger and let the chain accelerate to full speed
before entering the cut.
• Keep the saw running the entire time you are cutting;
maintain a steady speed.
• Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light downward
pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or
unit can result.
• PUSH and PULL – This reaction force is always opposite to
the direction the chain is moving when it is in contact with
the wood. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the
PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar, and PUSH
when cutting along the top edge.
• Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut.
Pruning
Pruning is the process of trimming limbs from a live tree.
• Remove long branches in several stages.
• Cut lower branches first to allow the top branches more room
to fall.
• When pruning trees, it is important not to make the finishing
cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off the
farthest lying limb. This will reduce the weight and prevent
stripping the bark from the main member.
• Under cut the branch 1/3 through for your first cut.
Your second cut should over cut to drop the branch off
(Fig. 25). Be prepared to balance the weight of the pole
chain saw when the limb falls.
