Step cut
For horizontal branches without being top heavy
The branch section falls down in a controlled manner without
tipping over.
Set the first cut from below, approx. one third of the
branch diameter.
The second cut is made on the same level as the first cut
or moved further toward the inside (negative breaking
step).
Remove the remaining branch section.
Step cut error!
If the cut is made offset toward the outside (positive
breaking step) and exceeded, the power pruner can be pulled
along.
