PRUNING

WARNING: Be alert for and guard

against kickback. Do not allow the moving

chain to contact any other branches or objects

at the nose of the guide bar when pruning. Al-

lowing such contact can result in serious injury .

IMPORTANT POINTS

S W ork slowly, keeping both hands firmly

gripped on the pruner. Maintain secure

footing and balance.

S Plan cut carefully. Check direction branch

will fall.

S Watch out for springpoles. Springpoles are

small size limbs which can catch the chain

and whip toward you or pull you of f balance.

Use extreme caution when cutting small size

limbs or slender material.

S Watch out for branches immediately behind

the branch being pruned. If the chain hits the

rear branch, damage to the unit may occur .

S Be alert for springback. Watch out for

branches that are bent or under pressure.

Avoid being struck by the branch or the

pruner when the tension in the wood fibers

is released.

S Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear

branches out of the way to avoid tripping

over them.

S Long branches should be removed in

several pieces.

PRUNING TECHNIQUE

When ready to cut, accelerate to full throttle

and apply a light cutting pressure. DO NOT

use back and forth sawing action.

Pruning technique

Second cut

Third cut

Collar

First cut

1. Make the first cut 6 inches (15 cm) from

the tree trunk on the bottom of the limb.

Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut

1/3 through the diameter 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.

Foot

2. Next, move 2 -- 4 inches (5 -- 10 cm) far-

ther out on the limb and make a second

cut all the way through the limb.

3. Then, make a final cut leaving a 1 -- 2 inch

(2.5 -- 5 cm) collar from the trunk of the

tree to avoid damage to the tree.

OPERAT ING INSTRUCTIONS FOR

TRIMMER ATTACHMENT

OPERATING POSITION

Eye Protection

Long Pants

Heavy Shoes

ALWAYS WEAR:

Cut from your right to your left.

WARNING: Always wear eye protec-

tion. Never lean over the trimmer head.

Rocks or debris can ricochet or be thrown into

eyes and face and cause blindness or other

serious injury.

Do not run the engine at a higher speed than

necessary. The cutting line will cut efficiently

when the engine is run at less than full throttle.

At lower speeds, there is less engine noise

and vibration. The cutting line will last longer

and will be less likely to “weld” onto the spool.

Always release the throttle trigger and allow

the engine to return to idle speed when not

cutting.

To stop engine:

S Release the throttle trigger.

S Move the ON/OFF switch to the OFF

position.

TRIMMER LINE A DVANCE

The trimmer line will advance approximately 2

inches (5 cm) each time the bottom of the

trimmer head is tapped on the ground with the

engine running at full throttle.

The most efficient line length is the maximum

length allowed by the line limiter.

Always keep the shield in place when the tool

is being operated.

To advance line:
