The shaft should always be held at an
angle of 60° or less.
The least tiring working position is a tool
angle of 60°.
Any lesser angle may be used to suit the
situation concerned.

To avoid pinching the bar in the cut,
position the cutting attachment with the
hook against the branch and then
perform the cross-cut from the top
downwards.

Relieving cut
2
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
N
attachment and pull it across the
bottom of the branch in an arc as far
as the bar nose.
Then position the bar with the hook
N
against the branch and perform the
cross-cut (2).
Flush-cutting thick branches
1
If branch diameter is more than
4 in (10 cm), first
perform an initial cut (3), with
N
relieving cut and cross-cut at
distance (A) of about 8 in (20 cm)
from the final cut, then carry out the
flush-cut (4), starting with a relieving
cut and finishing with a cross-cut.
