7.1.3. CUT WITH THE PRUNER
We recommend that you train with small branches
in an easy position to gain experience before
undertaking more complicated cuts.
Always follow the safety rules indicated in this manual.
Use this machine exclusively for cutting wood. It is
forbidden to cut any other type of material.
Do not use this machine to move objects.
While cutting, use the machine gently. Only lightly
press down while keeping the machine at full power.
The machine's own weight will be sufficient to make
the cut. If the chain is locked, do not attempt to pull
the machine while it is running. Stop the mower and
use a wedge to release the mower.
7.1.4 CUTTING A BRANCH OF A TREE
To cut a branch of a tree that
does not touch the ground
always start with a cut of ¼
of the diameter of the branch
from below (1) and then cut
the rest from above (2).
In this way you will facilitate the opening of the cut
and that the branch is broken by damaging the tree.
Cut the long branches into several pieces starting
from the outside of the branch (part furthest from the
center of the tree).
If you have to cut different branches of a tree, first cut
the low branches so that they leave room to access
the high branches.
Recommendation: It is convenient not to make the last
cut with the weight of the branch. It is recommended
to cut the branch and leave for the final one last cut
"end cut" (3). Between the last "normal" cut and the
"end cut" there must be a distance of 5-10 cm. The
end cutting will be done from top to bottom slowly to
prevent the wood from cracking.
