Cleaning; Storage & Transport (Fig. 10) - Scheppach 5910305967 Original Bedienungsanleitung

• Remove supporting branches only after cutting to
length.
• Tensioned branches must be sawn from the bottom
upwards to prevent the product from jamming.
• When sawing off thicker branches, use the same
technique as for cutting to length.
• Work to the left of the trunk and as close as possible
to the device. If possible, let the weight of the prod-
uct rest on the trunk.
• Change your position to cut branches on the other
side of the trunk.
• Branched boughs are cut to length individually.
• When delimbing, leave larger downward branches
that support the tree for the time being. Separate
smaller branches with one cut.
