Thin branches: (Fig. 25)
■ Thin branches can be cut through with
one single cut. To prevent the branch from
slivering and buckling, the branch should be
cut off in several pieces.
Thick branches: (Fig. 26)
■ When cutting off larger branches, three cuts
are necessary.
■ First cut into the branch from below and
outside of the place where you intend to cut
OPERATION
off the branch. The cut should go from one
third to halfway through the branch. (A)
■ Make a second cut from the top side of the
limb outboard from the first cut. (B)
■ Last, cut off the stump with one clean cut
from top to bottom. (C)
NOTE: Remove the branches lying on the
ground regularly to avoid stumbling hazards.
Check the oil level regularly and fill up if
necessary. Switch the power off and remove
the battery pack when leaving the product.
