Always hold the shaft with your left hand
in the area of the handle hose.
The shaft should always be held at an
angle of 60° or less.
The least tiring working position is a tool
angle of 60°.
Any lesser angle may be used to suit the
situation.
Cross-cut
To avoid pinching the bar in the cut,
position the cutting attachment with the
housing against the branch and then
perform the cross-cut from the top
downwards.
Relieving cut
To avoid tearing the bark on thick
branches, always start by performing a
relieving cut (1) on the underside of the
branch.
N To do this, apply the cutting
attachment and pull it across the
bottom of the branch in an arc as far
as the bar nose.
N Perform the cross cut (2) – position
the bar with the housing against the
branch.
Flush-cutting thick branches
If branch diameter is more than
10 cm (4 in), first
N perform undercut (3) and then
cross-cut at a distance of about
20 cm/8 in (A) from the final cut.
Then carry out the flush-cut (4),
starting with a relieving cut and
finishing with a cross-cut.
