PRUNING TIPS
Why Prune?
Trees need to be trained. If they are not, they may grow
into a tangled and potentially dangerous area of the
yard. Pruning is useful for sizing, shaping, removing
broken branches and maintaining the health of the tree.
When to Prune?
Pruning can be done at any time during the year. But,
the best time is during the dormant (winter) season.
What to Look for?
Finding problem areas in a tree can be difficult. Look for
and remove:
• Dead or dying branches. Cut them back to a healthy
branch or trunk because they may carry insects or
diseases.
PRUNER GEAR HOUSING
All internal parts are lubricated at the factory and require
no maintenance. Do not disassemble the pruner.
Contact an authorized service dealer for any internal
repairs.
CLEANING
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit.
Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners that
contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and
solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing
or handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
• Store the unit inside in a dry place, either locked up or
up high to prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep
out of the reach of children.
Blade Clamp
Blade Clamp
Screw and
Lock Washer
• Branch stubs. These occur when a prior pruning was
done incorrectly or if a branch broke off during a
storm. Cut the stubs back to the closest healthy
branch or trunk.
• Future growth. If a tree limb is growing towards a
fence or building, remove it early. The older the tree,
the longer it takes for cutting wounds to heal.
How to Prune Correctly
• Don’t cause damage to the trunk bark by cutting too
close to the trunk.
• Cut the branch so that the wound is as small as
possible.
• Don’t leave a long branch stub. It can lead to rot or
insect infestation.
• Use a sharp blade to make cuts that are clean and
smooth.
