• 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 in an
arc across the bottom of the branch (see illustration).
• Locate the hook against the branch and then perform
the cross-cut ( 2).
Flush-cutting thick branches
•
If branch diameter is more than 4“ (10 cm), first per
-
form undercut ( 3) and then cross-cut at a distance (A)
of about 8“ (20cm) from the final cut.
•
Then carry out the flush-cut (4), starting with a reliev
-
ing 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.

Mounting the Tool
Put the lower shaft (2) into the shaft coupling and concur-
rently pull out the locking pin (1). Slide the lower shaft in
as far as it will go and let go of the locking pin. The locking
pin must engage into the opening (3) located laterally in
the lower shaft. Of necessary, slightly move the lower shaft
to-and-fro until the locking pin safely locks in place. Then
tighten the fly nut (4).
Using with an extension shaft
The extension shaft can only be mounted on the
pole pruner attachment!
Insert the extension shaft (5) between the motor unit and
tool attachment, in order to access higher locations.
