GENERAL INFORMATION

The pruning module EMAK EP90 / EP100 is an
accessory that can be installed on a strimmer in
place of the disk or string.
The installation operation on the machine is
carried out with the sole use of one's hands: keys
or other instruments are not required.
The areas that can be reached for pruning with
this accessory are of the most varied. The
operator should take up the most suitable
position and carry out most of the work without
moving from that position.
With this accessory it is possible to cut down
bushes to ground level while maintaining the
same standard position as that used for
strimming.
In this last case it is necessary to avoid allowing
the blade to come into contact with stones or
earth.
In pruning high branches, take up a solid position
on the ground and avoid standing underneath the
branch to be cut.
DO NOT USE A LADDER AND DO NOT CLIMB
INTO TREES.
