Cutting Attachment - Stihl HTE 60 Instruction Manual

4 Cutting Attachment

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, position the cutting attach‐
ment and guide it down to the bar nose in an
arc.
► Position the housing against the branch and
then perform the cross-cut (2)
3.7 Flush-cutting thick branches
4
► If branch diameter is more than 10 cm, first
perform undercut (3) and then cross-cut at a
distance of about 20 cm (A) from the final cut.
Then carry out the flush-cut (4), starting with a
relieving cut and finishing with a cross-cut
3.8 Cutting above obstacles
The machine'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.

3.9 Cutting from a lift bucket
The machine'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.
4 Cutting Attachment
A cutting attachment consists of the saw chain,
guide bar and chain sprocket.
The cutting attachment that comes standard is
designed to exactly match the pole pruner.

a
– The pitch (t) of the saw chain (1), chain
sprocket and the nose sprocket of the Rollo‐
matic guide bar must match.
– The drive link gauge (2) of the saw chain (1)
must match the groove width of the guide
bar (3).
If non-matching components are used, the cut‐
ting attachment may be damaged beyond repair
after a short period of operation.
4.1 Chain Scabbard
The scope of supply includes a bar scabbard that
matches the cutting attachment.
If guide bars of different lengths are mounted to
the pole pruner, always use a chain scabbard of
the correct length which covers the complete
guide bar.
