To avoid pinching the bar in the cut,
position the cutting attachment with the
hook against the branch and then
perform the cross-cut from the top

branches, always start by performing a
relieving cut (1) on the underside of the
branch.
To do this, apply the cutting

attachment and pull it across the
bottom of the branch in an arc as far
as the bar nose.
Perform the cross-cut (2) – position
N
the bar with the hook against the
branch and then perform the cross-
cut.
Flush-cutting thick branches

first
perform undercut (3) and then

cm (A) from the final cut. Then carry
out the flush-cut (4), starting with a
relieving cut and finishing with a
