Using the Machine

Preparations

Wear suitable protective clothing
and equipment - see chapter
"Safety Precautions".
:
Adjust telescopic shaft to required
length.
:
Start the engine.

.
To help avoid the risk of injury, never
stand directly underneath the
branch you are cutting – be wary of
falling branches. Note that a branch
may spring back at you after it hits
the ground.
Cutting sequence
To allow branches a free fall, always cut
the lower branches first. Prune heavy
branches (large diameter) in several
controllable pieces.

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!
Typical applications
Standard cut
The most convenient working position is
a tool angle of 60°, but any lesser angle
may be used to suit the situation
concerned.

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.
