Page 19: Using The Unit
MAINTENANCE AND SHARPENING OF THE BLADE Periodically check to ensure the blades are not bent or damaged and that the xed comb on the blade is intact. WARNING Ÿ Adjustment of the distance between blades is not necessary, as this is predetermined by the manufacturer.
Page 20: Working Techniques
Never stand directly underneath the branch you are cutting, be wary of falling branches. Note that a branch may spring back after it hits the ground with risk of injury. Remove branches in WARNING sections. Working Techniques Hold the control handle with the right hand, and the shaft with the left hand. The left arm should be extended to the most comfortable position.
Page 21 Cutting Above Obstacles: The unit's long reach makes it possible to prune branches that are overhanging obstacles, such as rivers or lakes. The tool angle in this case depends on the position of the branch. Cutting From a Lift Bucket: The unit's long reach enables cutting to be performed next to the trunk without the risk of the lift bucket damaging other branches.
