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.

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.
Cutting from a lift bucket
The unit's long reach enables cutting to
be performed next to the trunk without
the risk of the lift bucket damaging other
branches. The tool angle in this case
depends on the position of the branch.
