USING THE MACHINE
WARNING!
For pruning high up using
a rope and a belt slings, carefully follow the
instructions under "For your safety" (
WARNING!
• Do not work standing on unstable bases or
rung ladders.
• Do not overreach.
• Do not cut above shoulder height.
1. Stand opposite the branch you want to cut.
2. Start cutting lower branches followed by the
higher ones.
3. Cut downwards to prevent the bar from getting
jammed.
• Felling (Fig. 14)
WARNING!
When felling on slopes,
always stand uphill from the tree and check
that the felled trunk cannot cause damage if it
rolls down the hill.
1. Decide where the tree should fall – you should
consider the wind, the natural lean of the tree,
the position of the heaviest branches and how
easy the work is after felling, etc.
2. Clear the area around the tree and find a stable
place to stand.
3. Plan obstacle-free escape routes at a 45° angle
back and away from the direction of fall. These
routes must allow you reach a safe area at a
distance of about 2.5 times the length of the
tree to be felled.
4. On the side of the fall, mark a felling notch
around a third of the trunk's diameter.
5. Cut the tree on the other side, slightly above the
bottom of the notch, leaving the uncut wood to
act as a "hinge" (1) of approx. 5-10 cm.
6. Reduce the thickness of this hinge without pull-
ing out the bar, until the tree falls.
7. In particular or unstable conditions, you can
complete felling by inserting wedges (2) on the
opposite side of the fall, and hitting them with a
hammer until the tree falls.
• Bucking (Fig. 15)
WARNING!
Be careful of where the
bran ches are lying on the ground, the risk of
them being under tension, the direction the
branch may go during cutting and the risk of
the tree being unstable after the branch has
been cut.

• Sawing a log on the ground (Fig. 17)
Cut up to half the diameter, roll the log over and
