Cross-cut
To avoid pinching the bar in the cut,
position the cutting attachment with the
hook against the branch and then
perform the cross-cut from the top
downwards.
Relieving cut
To avoid tearing the bark on thick
branches, always start by performing a
relieving cut (1) on the underside of the
branch.
N
To do this, apply the cutting
attachment and pull it across the
bottom of the branch in an arc as far
as the bar nose.
N
Perform the cross-cut (2) – position
the bar with the hook against the
branch and then perform the cross-
cut.
Flush-cutting thick branches
If branch diameter is more than
4 in (10 cm), first
N
perform undercut (3) and then
cross-cut at a distance of about
8 in./20 cm (A) from the final cut.
Then carry out the flush-cut (4),
starting with a relieving cut and
finishing with a cross-cut.
Cutting above obstacles
The unit's long reach makes it possible
to prune branches that are overhanging
obstacles, such as rivers or lakes. The
tool angle in this case depends on the
position of the branch.
Cutting from a lift bucket
The unit's long reach enables cutting to
be performed next to the trunk without
the risk of the lift bucket damaging other
branches. The tool angle in this case
depends on the position of the branch.
