Trimming and pruning
m
CAUTION
Always be careful and protect yourself from kickback. Never let the moving chain at
the tip of the chain guide come in contact with other branches or objects during
trimming or cutting branches. Such contact can lead to serious injuries.
m
CAUTION
Never climb into the tree for trimming or pruning. Do not stand on ladders, platforms
etc. You could lose your balance and control of the device.
Important notices
•
Work slowly and hold on to the saw with both hands. Ensure a secure standing
position and balance.
•
Beware of recoiling parts of the tree. Practise extreme caution when cutting
small parts of the tree. Flexible material can get caught in the saw-chain and be
ejected in your direction or make you lose your balance.
•
Beware of recoiling parts of the tree. This particularly applies to bent or loaded
branches. Avoid coming in contact with the branch or the saw when the tension
on the wood is released.
•
Keep your working area clear. Clear the path of branches so you do not trip over
them.
Trimming
•
Do not start trimming the tree before it has been felled. Only then can you carry
out the trimming safely and properly.
•
Leave larger branches underneath the felled tree and use them as a support
while you continue working.
•
Start at the foot of the felled tree and work your way up to the top. Remove
smaller parts of the tree with one cut.
•
Make sure that the tree is always between you and the saw.
•
Remove larger, supporting branches using the method from
Section „Log division without support“.
•
Always remove small freely suspended parts of the tree with a top cut.
They may fall into the saw or trap it if you use an undercut.
