Operation
Basic operation
1. Examine the tree and branches for damage such as
rot.
2. Remove the bar scabbard.
3. Hold the device firmly with both hands.
Working techniques
When pruning, proceed as follows:
 Where possible, maintain a distance of approx. 15
cm between the tree trunk and the cut.
 Cut small branches that are thin and light a single
cut with the bottom edge of the guide rail.
 Heavier branches of larger diameter may break or
splinter during pruning. Therefore, cut in several
steps:
a Make a cut in the underside of the branch with the
top edge of the guide rail. This cut should be
about one third of the branch diameter.
Illustration G
b Make a cut in the top of the branch.
c If another cut is necessary, never continue cutting
in an existing cut but rather start a new cut.
The following should be noted when pruning:
 Do not raise the bar higher than 60 ° from the hori-
zontal.
 Do not exert excessive force on the guide rail.
 Do not stand under the branch being sawn off.
 Make sure that the falling branch does not endanger
the user or spectators nor damage any objects.
 Maintain a safety distance of at least twice the
branch length when pruning.
