5.1- Intended use
- The product is intended for domestic use.
- The product is intended for cutting branches
5.2- Cutting sequence:
To allow branches a free fall, always cut the lower branches first.
Prune heavy branches (large diameter) in several controllable pieces.
5.3- Working position:
Hold the control handle with your right hand, and the shaft with your left hand.
Your left arm should be extended to the most comfortable position.
The shaft should always be held at an angle of 60° or less.
5.4- Standard cut (Fig. PP10)
The most convenient working position is a tool angel of 60°, but any other angle may be used to suit
the situation concerned.
5.5- Cutting above obstacles (Fig. PP11)
Thanks to the unit's long reach it is 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
5.6- Cutting on a work platform (Fig. PP12)
The unit's long reach enables cutting to be performed next to the trunk without the risk of the work
platform damaging other branches.
The tool angle in this case depends on the position of the branch.

5.7- Working techniques
5.7.1- Relieving cut (Fig.PP13)
To avoid tearing the bark, kickback or pinching the bar when pruning
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.
Perform the cross-cut (2).
