•
Whenever possible position yourself so that you can
make the cut at right angles to the branch.
•
Do not work with the shaft held straight out in front of
you (like a fishing rod) as this increases the apparent
weight of the cutting attachment.
•
Cut large branches in sections so that you have better
control over where they fall.
•
Never cut through the swelling at the root of the
branch as this will slow down healing and increase the
risk of fungal attack!
•
Make an initial cut on the underside of the branch
before cutting through the branch. This will prevent
tearing of the bark, which could lead to slow healing
and cause permanent damage to the tree. The cut
should not be deeper than 1/3 of the branch thickness
to prevent jamming. Keep the chain running while you
withdraw the cutting attachment 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 that you can
