Cutting above obstacles
3
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.

The angle drive keeps the cutting
attachment at an angle of 30° to the
drive tube.
The angle drive may be adjusted on the
drive tube to the following positions only:
1 For cross-cutting vertical branches
and bushes.
