like all chainsaws, flings oil from the chain during operation. Protect yourself from falling oil drops with
suitable protective glasses and clothing.
To operate the pruner, press down the throttle lockout and then pull the throttle trigger.
The pruner is equipped with a low-kickback chain and it was also done everything from an engineering
point of view to keep kickback low. Nevertheless, some kickback can not be avoided when cutting with
the upper tip of the blade. Be prepared for some kickback when using this area of the blade or hitting
another branch with this area. Always hold the unit firmly in both hands.
Thin branches can be cut off with one single cut. To prevent the branch from slivering and buckling the
branch should be cut off in several pieces.
When cutting off lager branches, you should first cut into the branch form below. First cut into the branch
from below outside the place where you intend to cut off the branch. The cut should go from one third to
halfway through the branch. This prevents the branch from buckling when you cut into the branch from
the top outside the first cut. Last, cut off the stump with one clean cut. You might want to seal the cut with
a suitable compound.
