OPERATION

Operating techniques

Hold control grip with right hand and shaft (Fig.25A) with left hand.
Optimum balance could be obtained with machine close the
body. Standing 60° with the ground (Fig.25B) makes work less
fatiguing.
To ease branch falling, cut lower branches fi rst.
To cut larger branches (with diameter larger than 10 cm), cut it into
more parts (max length 20 cm), never cut the whole branch (Fig.26).
Always cut at full throttle.

WARNING – Never work under the branch you are
cutting; beware of available space and falling pieces
that bounce anomalously on the ground (Fig.27A).
WARNING – Pay attention when working near electric
lines. Falling branches could cause short circuit. Never
approach the tool at less than 10 metres from electric
lines (Fig.27B).
Flush-cutting (Fig.28A) - To avoid tearing the bark, kickbacks or
27B
bar pinching, always start by performing a relieving cut (1) on the
underside of the branch. Perform the cross-cut (2).
Particular cuts
The pole pruner permits:
- pruning of branches that are overhanging obstacles (Fig.28B)
such as rivers, lakes etc.
- pruning of branches from high rise buckets (Fig.29).
