- Page 13 WARNING: To prevent possible serious injury to yourself or to others, read, understand, and follow all instructions in this operator's manual. Keep the unit at full speed the entire time you are cutting. For second and final cuts (from top of limb or branch), hold the front cutting guide against the limb being cut.
- Page 14 As the angle of the pole pruner boom to ground increases, the difficulty of making the first cut (from the underside of limb) increases. Failure to follow this procedure can result in the blade binding and becoming pinched or trapped in the limb. If this should happen: 1 Stop the unit and remove the battery pack.
