Relieving cut
:
To avoid tearing the bark on thick
branches, always start by
performing a relieving cut (
1
) on the
underside of the branch.
:
To do this, apply the cutting
attachment and pull it across the
bottom of the branch as far as the
bar nose.
:
Locate the hook against the branch
and then perform the cross-cut (
2
)
from the top downwards.
Flush-cutting thick branches
:
If branch diameter is more than
10 cm, first perform undercut (
3
)
and then cross-cut at a distance of
about 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.
