techniques
5.7.1-
Relieving
cut
(Fig.PPI3)
To avoid tearing the
bark,
kickback or
pinching the
bar
when
pruning
thick branches, always
start
by
performing
a relieving
cut
(I)
on
the
underside of the
branch.
To do
this
apply
the cutting
attachment and
pull
it
across
rue
bottom
of
the
branch as far
as
the
bar
nose.
Perform the cross-cut
(2).

Cutting
on
a
work
platform
(Fig.
PP
(2)
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.
5.5- 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
5.4-
Standard
cut
(Fig.
PPIO)
The
most
convenient
working
position
is
a
tool
angel
of60°,
but any other angle may be
used
to suit
the
situation
concerned.
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.
5.2-
Cutting
sequence;
To allow
branches a free
fall,
always
cut the
lower
branches first.
Prune heavy
branches
(large diameter) in several controllable pieces.
