Follow these steps for effective and safe pruning.
4.1 Preparing for Pruning
- Inspect the saw: Ensure the blade is clean, sharp, and securely locked.
- Identify the branch: Determine the exact location for the cut.
- Clear the area: Ensure no obstructions or people are in the cutting path.
4.2 Einen Schnitt machen
- Position the blade: Place the blade on the underside of the branch first, making a small undercut if the branch is heavy, to prevent bark stripping.
- Begin sawing: Apply moderate pressure and use long, steady strokes. The saw cuts on the pull stroke.
- Maintain control: Keep a firm grip on the handle and maintain balance.
- Complete the cut: Continue sawing until the branch is fully severed.
4.3 Nach der Operation
After completing your pruning tasks, clean the saw and fold it for storage as described in Section 3.2.

The serrated blade is designed for durability. If the blade becomes dull, it may require professional sharpening or replacement. Attempting to sharpen a serrated blade without proper tools and knowledge can damage the blade.
