After Use - Stanley SPS-750 Original Instructions Manual

WARNING! Never climb into a tree to prune!
Do not stand on ladders, platforms, logs,
or in any position which may cause you to
lose your balance or control of the product!
When pruning trees, it is important not to make the
flush cut next to main limb or trunk until you have
cut off the limb further out to reduce the weight!
This prevents stripping the bark from the main
member!
f). Never stand on a ladder or other type of unstable
support while using the product. Insecure
stand invites hazards. (See Fig. 15e)
WARNING! This product has not been
designed to provide protection from electric
shock in the event of contact with overhead
electric lines! Therefore do not use product near
cable, electric power or telephone lines. Keep a
minimum distance of 10 m to all electric lines. (See
Fig. 15f)!
g). Use the product only with secure footing. Hold
the product at the right-hand side of your body.
h). Do not operate the product with arms fully
extended or attempt to cut areas which are difficult
to reach.
i). Keep a firm, steady pressure on the product
while working with it. Do not try to force the
product through the wood, let the cutting device do
the work, using the gripping teeth to apply minimal
leverage pressure.
j). Beware when reaching the end of the cut. The
weight of the product may change unexpectedly as
it cuts free from the wood. Accidents can occur to
the legs and feet. Always remove the product from
a wood cut while it is running.
NOTE: The chain must be running at full speed
before it comes into contact with the wood.
Cut thin branches
Thin branches can be cut off with one single cut.
To prevent the branch from slivering and buckling
the branch should be cut off in several pieces. (See
Fig. 16)
Cut thick branches
When cutting larger branches, three cuts are
necessary as shown below:
NOTE: Remove the branches lying on the floor
regularly to avoid stumbling hazards. Check
the oil level regularly and fill up if necessary.
Switch the power off and disconnect from power
source when leaving the product.
a). First cut into the branch from below, outside of
the location where you intend to cut off the
branch. The cut should go one third to halfway
through the branch. (See Fig. 17a)
b). Cut into the branch from the top, outside from
where the branch is to be sawn. (See Fig. 17b)
c). Last, cut off the stump with one clean cut from
top to bottom. You might want to seal the cut
with a suitable compound. (See Fig. 17c)
d). You might want to seal the cut with a suitable
compound.
