Using the Pole Pruner

This machine is designed especially for cutting branches.

Never use this machine for any other purpose. Never try to cut stones, metals, plastics, or any other hard objects.

Using for purposes other than cutting branches may damage the machine or cause serious injury.

Preparations

Wear suitable protective clothing and equipment – see section “Safety Precautions”.

Choose the best work position for safety against falling objects such as branches.

Start the engine.

Put on the strap.

Never stand directly underneath the branch you are cutting – be aware of falling branches. Note that a branch may spring back at you after it hits the ground.

Cutting Sequence:

To allow branches to fall freely, always cut the bottom branches first. Prune heavy branches (large in diameter) in several controllable pieces.

Working Position:

Hold the control handle with your right hand and the shaft with your left hand. Your left arm should be extended to the most comfortable position.

The shaft should always be held at an angle of 60° or less.

Standard Cut:

The most convenient working position is a tool angle of 60°, but any other angle may be used to suit the situation.

Cutting Above Obstacles:

Thanks to the unit’s long reach it is 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.

Cutting On A Work Platform:

The unit’s long reach enables cutting to be performed next to the trunk without the risk of the work platform damaging other branches. Tool angle in this case depends on the position of the branch.

Relieving Cut:

To avoid tearing the bark, kickback or pinching the bar when pruning thick 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 as far as the bar nose. Perform the cross-cut (2).

Flush-cutting Thick Branches:

If branch diameter is more than 10 cm, first perform undercut (3) and cross-cut at a distance (A) of about 25 cm from the final cut. Then carry-out the flush-cut (4), starting with a relieving cut and finishing with a cross-cut.
