SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
� Use the stop at the base of the bar to provide support during cutting. This will help prevent the cutting equipment from jumping on the branch. � Make an initial cut on the underside of the branch before cutting through the branch from above. This will prevent tearing of the bark, which could lead to slow healing and cause permanent damage to the tree. The first cut should not be deeper than 1/3 of the branch thickness to prevent jamming. Keep the chain running while you withdraw the cutting equipment from the branch to prevent it jamming. � Use the harness to support the weight of the machine and make it easier to handle. � Make sure you have a firm footing and will not be hampered by branches, stones and other trees.
!
WARNING! Never use the throttle without having a full view of the cutting equipment.
