Pruning thick branches
Attempting to cut a thick branch in one go often results in the guide bar
jamming in the branch or otherwise encountering difficulties in cutting.
The method described below makes cutting thick branches easier:
1. First of all, cut a section slightly away and on the lower side of the
desired area of the branch to be cut.
2. Then, start cutting from the upper side of the branch.
3. Hereafter, cut into the lower side where the desired area of branch
is to be cut.
4. Finally, cut through from the upper side where the branch is to be
cut, cutting the branch off.
IMPORTANT: If the guide bar or saw chain jams into the branch,
do not force it. Widen the cut using a wedge to re-
move the pruner and try cutting it again. Forcing
the pruner may damage the main unit of the pruner
and cause a malfunction of the pruner.
Saw chain tension adjustments
・
When using the pruner be sure to turn the engine off before making any inspections or any
adjustments.
・
Do not make any adjustments when the guide bar or saw chain is still hot immediately after
using the pruner.
Wait until it has cooled before making any adjustments.
1. Turn the nut on the chain cover once to loosen it.
2. Lift up the leading edge of the guide bar and turn the regulating screw to tighten the saw chain.
Turning the screw clockwise tightens the saw chain, whereas turning it counter-clockwise looses the
saw chain.
3. Securely tighten the nut on the chain cover.
4. Verify that the saw chain on the central section of the guide bar can be lifted with fingers 3 to 4 mm off
the guide bar.
