• Whenever possible position yourself so that you
can make the cut at right angles to the branch.
• Do not work with the shaft held straight out in
front of you as this increases the apparent weight
of the cutting attachment.
• Cut large branches in sections so that you have
better control over where they fall.
• Never cut through the swelling at the root of
the branch as this will slow down healing and
increase the risk of fungal attack.
• Use the stop at the base of the cutting head
to provide support during cutting. This will help
prevent the cutting attachment from bouncing on
the branch.

• Make an initial cut on the underside of the
branch before cutting through the branch. This
will prevent tearing of the bark, which could lead
to slow healing and cause permanent damage
to the tree. The cut should not be deeper than
⅓ of the branch thickness to prevent jamming.
Keep the chain running while you withdraw the
cutting attachment from the branch to prevent it
jamming.
