Cutting techniques using the
pole-mounted pruner
Be aware of the risk of kickback
as well as falling branches and
branches on the ground.
Sawing off small branches:
•
Place the locating surface of the saw
against the branch in order to prevent
jerky movements of the saw when you
begin to cut it. Guide the saw with light
pressure from the top to the bottom
through the branch.
Watch out for premature breakage of
the branch if you have misjudged the
size and weight.
• Sawing off larger branches:
In the case of larger branches, select
a relief cut first of all to ensure that the
sawing process is controlled. To do
this, saw an incision (a) into the bottom
third of the branch (with the upper side
of the blade). Then saw from top to
bottom towards the first cut (with the
underside of the blade) (b).

Sawing in sections:
•
Saw off large or long branches in sec-
tions so that you have control over the
place where the branch section lands.
• Saw the lower branches of the tree off
first in order to make it easier for the
branches that have been cut off to fall
to the ground.
• After the cut is completed, the weight
of the saw increases abruptly for the
operator, as the saw is no longer
supported on the branch. There is a
danger that you will lose control of the
device.
• You should only pull the saw out of the
cut with the saw chain running in order
to avoid jamming.
• Do not saw with the tip of the cutting
equipment.
• Do not saw the bulge at the base of
the branch because this will prevent
the tree from healing.
Cutting techniques using the
hedge trimmer
• Cut out thick branches in advance
using lopping shears.
• The double-sided cutter bar enables
trimming in both directions, or via pen-
dulum movements from one side to
the other.
• When cutting vertically, move the hed-
ge trimmer in a steady forward motion,
or up and down in an arch-shaped
motion.
• When cutting horizontally, move the
hedge trimmer in a sickle-shaped mo-
tion to the edge of the hedge so that
cut branches fall to the ground.
