Preparations
: Wear suitable protective clothing
and equipment – see "Safety
Precautions".
: Adjust telescopic shaft to the
required length (HT 101, HT 131
only)
: Start the engine.
: Put on the shoulder strap.
Never throw cuttings into the
household garbage can – cutting
can be composted.
Never stand directly underneath the
branch you are cutting – be wary of
falling branches. Note that a branch
may spring back at you after it hits
the ground.
Cutting sequence
To allow branches a free fall, always cut
the lower branches first. Prune heavy
branches (large diameter) in several
controllable pieces.
Working techniques
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.
HT 100, HT 130:
Always hold the shaft with your left hand
in the area of the handle hose.
The shaft should always be held at an
angle of 60° or less.
The most convenient working position is
a tool angle of 60°, but any lesser angle
may be used to suit the situation
concerned.
Cross-cut
To avoid pinching the bar in the cut,
position the cutting attachment with the
hook against the branch and then
perform the cross-cut from the top
downwards.
