Using the tree pruner
The tree pruner can be used either with the clippers
9
or with the saw blade
1
.
With the tree pruner you can:
• cut off dead or diseased branches.
• prune thin branches that obviously carry no blossom or fruit. Those branches are
mainly located in the shaded areas of the plant, directly on the trunk and in the
middle; removing them promotes the growth of the rest of the plant.
• cut overlapping branches that hinder and damage one another to create a good,
strong frame for the plant. This is particularly important for trees (especially apple
trees).
• Thin out fruit trees after the harvest or in spring.
• Ornamental trees should be thinned out in autumn and spring.
Cutting
• Make sure that the safety lock of the telescopic rod is always closed
during use.
• The tree pruner is equipped with an energy-saving bypass blade
system with lever action. The tree pruner should be held at a 45°
angle to cut fresh wood. Dry, thin wood can be cut at a 90° angle.
The tree pruner has a grip plate
5
as well as a T-handle
6
, which are connected to
the clippers
9
via a cable system.
Depending on the distance, you can use the grip plate or the T-handle. Using the
T-handle provides an extended reach.
Cutting with the grip plate
1. Set the telescopic rod
3
to the desired length (see chapter ‘Setting the
telescopic rod’).
2. Make sure that the safety lock
4
of the telescopic rod is in the closed position.
3. Remove the protective cover
8
from the clippers
9
.
4. Pull the grip plate
5
downwards in order to cut.
5. Slide the grip plate up to the top again in order to re-open the clippers.
Cutting with the T-handle
1. Set the telescopic rod
3
to the desired length (see chapter ‘Setting the
telescopic rod’).
2. Make sure that the safety lock
4
of the telescopic rod is in the closed position.
3. Slide the grip plate
5
up to the stop position.
