LIMBING
S Limb a tree only after it is cut down.
S Leave the larger limbs underneath the
felled tree to support the tree as you
work.
S Start at the base of the felled tree and
work toward the top, cutting branches
and limbs. Remove small limbs with
one cut.
S Keep tree between you and the chain.
S Remove larger branches with the cut-
ting techniques described
WITHOUT A SUPPORT.
S Always use an overcut to cut small
and freely hanging limbs. Undercut-
ting could cause limbs to fall and pinch
the saw.
PRUNING
WARNING:
Limit pruning to limbs
shoulder height or below. Do not cut if
branches are higher than your shoulder.
Get a professional to do the job.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this unit does not cover
items that have been subjected to oper-
ator abuse or negligence. To receive full
value from the warranty, the operator
must maintain unit as instructed in this
manual. Various adjustments will need
to be made periodically to properly
maintain your unit. Improper mainte-

CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR
WORN PARTS
Contact an authorized service dealer for
replacement of worn or damaged parts.
S Make your first cut
through the bottom of the limb. This
cut will make the limb sag so that it falls
easily on the second cut.
S Next make a second cut all the way
through the limb.
S Finish the pruning operation by using
an overcut so that the stump of the
limb protrudes 1 to 2 inches (3--5 cm)
from the trunk of the tree.
