Cutting with the Pole Saw 1. Grip the pole saw with 2 hands. 2. Stand on solid, even ground in front of the tree to be trimmed and position yourself for balanced, stable footing while cutting. 3. Ensure that you only cut the wood that you intend to cut; do not allow the saw chain to contact the earth, other logs, or any other objects when cutting. 4. Ensure that the saw chain is rotating at full speed before starting a cut. 5.
Pruning a Tree WARNING Cutting higher limbs from a tree off the ground can put you in an unstable position that could be unsafe for you while handling a pole saw, resulting in possible serious personal injury or death to you or bystanders.
