Flush-cutting thick branches
• If branch diameter is more than 4" (10 cm), first per-
form undercut ( 3) and then cross-cut at a distance (A)
of about 8" (20cm) from the final cut.
Then carry out the flush-cut (4), starting with a reliev-
ing cut and finishing with a cross-cut.
Cutting above obstacles

that are overhanging obstacles, such as rivers or lakes.
The tool angle in this case depends on the position of
the branch.
