Echo Power Pruner PPT-2620/H Operator's Manual page 32

OPERATION
• Plan cut carefully. Check direction
branch will fall.
• Plan retreat path from falling
branch. Cut branches bounce
when striking ground.
• Long branches should be
removed in several pieces.
• Do not stand directly beneath
branch being cut.
• When ready to cut:
Hold the cutting shoe against the
branch. This will prevent whipping
of the branch. DO NOT use back
and forth sawing action.
• Look out for branches
immediately behind the branch
being cut. If saw chain hits a rear
branch damage to the saw chain
and guide bar may occur.
• Accelerate to full throttle.
• Ease cutting pressure when
nearing end of cut to maintain
control.
• When pruning a limb 102 mm
(4 in.) diameter or larger cut as
follows:
1. Under cut 1/4 limb diameter near tree trunk.
2. Finish top cut slightly farther out on limb.
3. Flush cut stub at trunk.
• DO NOT use for felling or bucking.
