can cause loss of saw control, which can throw the operator

o balance and result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively

upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a user, you

should take several precautions to keep your cutting jobs free

from accident or injury.

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 specic

situation (Fig. 26). As the angle of the pole chain saw shaft

to the ground increases, the diculty of making the rst

cut (from the underside of limb) increases.

Basic Cutting Procedure

This unit with the chain saw head is designed for trimming

small branches and limbs up to recommended 6.5 in.

(16.5 cm), not to exceed a Max. cut of 7.5 in. (19 cm) in

diameter depending on type of wood. 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. 26).

• Switch on the pole chain saw 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 rst to allow the top branches more

room to fall.

• When pruning trees, it is important not to make the

nishing cut next to the main limb or trunk until you have

cut o 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 rst cut.

Your second cut should over cut to drop the branch o

(Fig. 27). Be prepared to balance the weight of the pole

chain saw when the limb falls.
