Pruning trees The beauty of a garden is reflected primarily in the show of flourishing, healthy plants it contains. Be they evergreen or deciduous, fruit-bearing or ornamental, trees are a fundamental feature, whether of large landscaped areas and parks or small town gardens, as they generate perspective depth, create intimate and inviting corners, and give shade in summer. Trees and plants need to be tended carefully Trees and hedges and treated continuously: so here are a few thoughts on the more important operations involved in ensuring they are properly looked after. Why, how and when to prune? There are several reasons why trees and plants need pruning: to check excessive growth; to control the development of grafted plants (fruit-bearing or ornamental); to promote flowering or fruiting; to give new life to ageing or weakened plants; to clear away dead branches that have died off or are growing irregularly, and thus control the shape of the plant; to correct imbalances caused by previous pruning; and to favour the outcome of a transplantation, reducing leaf transpiration. Pruning requires skill and patience; it is important to keep the harmony and growth of the tree in mind, avoiding injudicious the type of plant – but equally, using the right technique: in effect, and harmful actions such as indiscriminate cutting. Pruning must the cut should be clean and made obliquely, near to a bud or a be done at the proper time and in proper proportion – according to knot, preferably on branches of smaller rather than large diameter. Select the most suitable machine The use of suitable pruning equipment will help to ensure that plants grow in the proper way and make them easier to look after. Selection of the best tool is evaluated on the basis of individual needs and preferences, taking the advice of experts. Pruning operations can be done using chain saws and pruners: the market offers a wide variety of chain saws to cater for the different requirements of users everywhere. Anyone with a small garden can use one of these machines simply for pruning the thicker branches of trees, but if there happens to be a fireplace in the home, a chainsaw will also be handy for chopping up logs. The same goes for pruners: small pruning chain saws that can be used to cut branches located high up and not easily accessible. 4 Growing and keeping a luxuriant hedge Before planting a hedge, care must be taken to plot the position of trees or shrubs so as to ensure compliance with legal constraints and with any pertinent local regulations. The best time to plant a hedge is between the beginning of autumn and the beginning of spring. To cultivate a full hedge of the desired shape, the single bushes or shrubs must be planted close together, and it will be necessary to trim the topmost branches from the second year of growth Care of hedges and collection of leaves onwards, so as to encourage the growth of buds on the lower branches. To achieve satisfying results and work in Hedges help to increase the amount of green that meets the safety, these are jobs that need to be done using the right eye. They have a significant influence on the personality of machines. The hedgetrimmer is designed for accuracy; it a garden, not least as they can be fashioned into attractive offers the kind of clean and sharp cut needed in order to and original shapes. obtain the desired visual effect and safeguard the health of Essential operations in any maintenance programme include the plant. periodic thinning out of unduly dense growth, so that air can circulate at the centre of the foliage and strengthen the base of the plant; also keeping the outer surface compact by frequently trimming new growth, being careful at the same time not to take too much off and open up unsightly and “holes” that can be harmful to the plant; and removing dry or damaged growth, especially in spring and autumn. Cleaning up leaves and other debris Lawns and paths can be kept clear of leaves, twigs and all kinds of debris using blowers and vacuum cleaners, offered in hand-held and backpack versions. From appliances available currently on the market, users can find the technological solution best able to meet their particular operating requirements. These are specificpurpose machines, easy to handle, that will get the job done simply, swiftly and quietly. Certain models of blower, generally with an internal combustion engine, can be converted easily to operate as vacuum cleaners by fitting a special collection kit, with a blade by which vacuumed material is chopped up to reduce the volume when inside the bag. They can also be equipped with anti-vibration systems that isolate the engine from the handgrips and the body of the machine, significantly reducing the level of vibration transmitted to the operator when in use. 5 Chain saws and pruners A complete range of items for home and professional users alike. Tools for DIY projects, cutting up firewood, pruning, tree-felling. Quality, dependable performance, simplicity of use and maintenance: winning features offered by a family of products designed with the practical needs of users in mind, and developed applying the very latest technological solutions. Proper maintenance of chain saw and pruner After every 8-10 hours of operation, remove the cover and clean the air filter, replace if damaged or excessively soiled. Check the condition of the fuel filter periodically. Clean the cylinder fins periodically by brushing, or blasting with compressed air. Inspect and clean the spark plug periodically. Check the electrode gap periodically. After every 30 hours of operation, remove the screw on the bevel drive and check the grease level (pruner). Check and, if necessary, replace the chain safety stop (chain saw). Turn the guide bar and make sure that the lubrication holes are free from impurities (chain saw). Guide to chain saw and pruner selection For general tasks in and around the home, such as cutting up firewood, light pruning or small DIY building jobs, an electric chain saw is just the job. Rated from 1.5 to 2 kW, this machine is ideal for performing even the most demanding tasks quickly and comfortably. For lopping and limbing, chopping down small plants and cutting up firewood, we recommend a lightweight machine of between 4 and 5 Kg with a displacement of between 35 and 45 cm³. For intensive work requiring maximum reliability and consistent long-term performance, the best machines are professional chain saws, with over 50 cm³ displacement. Weighing just 5 to 10 Kg, they are ideal for felling and cutting up large trees. For pruning jobs, the ideal machines are professional pruning chain saws, which provide the perfect blend of power, lightweight construction and easy handling. Equipped with a top handle, they are ideal for professional pruning operations and other precision work, such as grafting or surgery carried out on wounded or diseased plants. For lopping and trimming overhead, or wherever there is uneven or sloping ground to contend with, a pruner is best. Thanks to a telescopic pole, cuts can be made up to 5 metres above ground, and therefore even on the highest branches. The saw itself is adjustable through intermediate angular settings from 0° to 90°. 6 Electric chain saws MT 1800 E Power Bar length MT 2000 E 1.8 kW 2.0 kW 35 cm / 14" 41 cm / 16" 4.4 Kg 4.4 Kg Dry weight without bar and chain MT 2000 E Universal chain saws for home use MT 350 S MT 3500 S Power Bar length Dry weight without bar and chain 2.0 HP - 1.5 kW 35-41 cm 4.4 Kg model MT 350 S available only in certain markets.

In effect, a healthy expanse of turf enhances will be impoverished further by mowing: fertilizers are the appearance of open spaces surrounding a home. Like essential as a means of restoring nutrient substances to plants and flowers, any lawn requires tending and treating the soil. It is important to select products specifically for continuously: and with a little effort, it can be kept in perfect lawns, enabling a slow release of nitrogen and preferably shape, year in and year out. So here is a quick guide to the mineral-organic in formulation. The lawn should be fertilized more important jobs that need doing through the course of regularly all the year round, except in winter, selecting the the year to ensure proper upkeep of the lawn. products best suited to each respective period. Always keep to the dosages indicated, and be careful to spread the Mowing Cutting the grass is not just an enjoyable pastime. It is also an operation absolutely essential to the health of the lawn: product uniformly. Controlling weeds and moss mowing must be done at the right time, in the proper way Weeds not only degrade the appearance of a lawn, they and using suitable equipment. It is important to remember also cause damage. The remedies to adopt will depend on that mowing – which should wait until the winter is definitely the type of weeds: having identified the problem, consult a over – must be done frequently, to favour new growth: specialist, who will be able to indicate the weedkillers best every 10-15 days at first, then once a week or thereabouts able to combat the situation. Moss grows on damp soils, (right through the summer). For ornamental lawns, the height wherever moisture tends to linger. The ideal solution would of the grass should be, on average, about 3 cm in spring and be to prevent its growth by digging and working peat or autumn and 5 cm in summer. silver sand into the soil before seeding, to create a soft and permeable bed. Where moss has taken hold, on the other Watering It is important that the turf receives the right amount of moisture at all times during the year, as dictated by the weather conditions and the nature of the soil. 14 hand, the soil needs to be treated with suitable products, such as ferrous sulphate; having removed the dead moss, make holes in the soil, spread sand and peat, and apply a complex fertilizer to revive the turf. Lawnmower, brushcutter or garden tractor? There are three types of equipment offering a complete solution to the various needs encountered in the care of a lawn. In fact, the ability of the turf to flourish will depend not least on the machine used to cut the grass. In practice, the use of the right appliance will make work in the garden more relaxing and pleasurable and bring better results. Here, we look at the best way to go about making a choice. The brushcutter Mulching In addition to the benefits for the lawn, mulching helps solve the problem of how to dispose of grass clippings, as these are simply chopped up finely and spread over the turf. An essential item, on any surface near obstructions What is mulching? (low walls, fences, steps, etc.), or where the ground is In the case of lawns, this is a technique whereby uneven or on a steep gradient. the grass clippings from mowing are used as This machine is used to cut grass, weeds, brush and nutrient for the turf. Thanks to the use of a special scrub in areas not accessible with other machines. blade and a plug that closes off the discharge Certain brushcutters, when fitted with particular duct, grass clippings continue to circulate accessories, can also be used for pruning high and beneath the mower deck when cut. The particles low growth on trees and orchard plants, for clipping are chopped finer and finer, and spread uniformly medium-high hedges and for cultivating small over the lawn, decomposing ultimately and vegetable plots. acting as a natural fertilizer. With mulching, the lawn benefits from an The lawnmower Lawnmowers are adaptable to different types of surface. Simply select the most suitable type from the models available: models for hobbyists (small lawns, invaluable application of organic and nutritional substances – also of moisture, to prevent it from drying out – and, last but not least, there are no waste disposal problems. gardens), and models for professionals, indispensable when working large areas and on irregular lawns with depressions or ridges. Some models are selfpropelling, which makes for greater operator comfort when mowing large expanses, and working on slopes or slightly uneven soils. If the lawnmower is equipped with a mulching kit, the need to dispose of clippings is largely eliminated, since these are finely fragmented and strewn on the turf, retaining moisture and essential nutrients. The garden tractor These offer the ideal solution for large gardens, and for parkland and public green spaces. Sturdily built and easy to handle, machines of this type have a small turning circle to simplify manoeuvres in amongst plants and shrubs. They generally have a side or rear outlet duct for connection to a grass catcher. Like lawnmowers, certain models of garden tractor can be converted by means of a simple kit to operate in mulching mode. 15 Multimate combined system 16 Multimate is the all-in-one tool that makes gardening 7 times more efficient.

Guide to brushcutter or trimmer selection The best machines for relatively small areas are electric trimmers. Generally rated between 500 and 1000 Watt, they are ideal for trimming jobs on small, level areas with obstacles. On more or less level surfaces near obstructions, brushcutters are the better option. For grass cutting and trimming jobs, a brushcutter of between 25 and 40 cm³ displacement will be enough; more demanding tasks on uneven ground should be performed using more powerful brushcutters of between 40 and 60 cm³ displacement. For performing jobs on surfaces with particularly accentuated height differences, or among reeds and thicker undergrowth, or if conditions are rendered generally more difficult by obstacles, sloping ground or the intensity of use, backpack models of 40 and 60 cm³ displacement are preferable. 20 Electric trimmers 8091 8061 8091 8100 Power 600 W 850 W 1000 W Grip single single single Weight 3.2 Kg 3.5 Kg 4.5 Kg STARK universal brushcutters for home use STARK 25 TR STARK 25 STARK 2500 TR STARK 2500 S STARK 2500 T 1.0 HP - 0.8 kW 1.0 HP - 0.8 kW 1.0 HP - 0.8 kW 25.4 cm3 25.4 cm3 25.4 cm3 Grip single single handlebar Weight 4.5 Kg 5.6 Kg 6.2 Kg Power Displacement STARK 25 model available only in certain markets.

Inspect and clean the air filter periodically. Check the engine oil periodically and renew if necessary, inspect the drive belts and pulley of the transmission system, clean the variable speed unit thoroughly, and inspect the wheel bearings, lubricating if necessary. Guide to lawnmower selection For gardens spanning up to 900 m², the best option is an electric lawnmower, with plastic or steel deck. Equipped with an electric motor, these machines are ideal due to their compact size and manoeuvrability, with a cutting width that generally ranges between 30 and 50 cm. For larger expanses of up to 2000 m², models with cutting width of 40 to 55 cm are more suitable. Comprising a robust structure with steel deck, they are available in the push-type and self-propelled versions. For areas exceeding 1200 m² the best option is a self-propelled model, which will reduce the effort needed when working on uneven or sloping ground. The ideal machines for big gardens (between 2000 and 2600 m²) are self-propelled professional models. Offering a cutting width of 40 to 55 cm, they combine the advantages of tough construction materials (aluminium deck) with dependable performance, in terms of optimum work rate and shorter job times.

If newly seeded, the In the case of plants and hedges, in particular, it is best that lawn needs to be kept moist on the surface, and should therefore be sprinkled 2-3 times a day with moderate amounts of water. As the grass begins to grow, it will need to be watered more abundantly and less often, so that the water can penetrate well down into the soil. A mature lawn – well into spring, especially during dry spells – can be well watered every 4 or 5 days. The best time to water is undoubtedly in the early morning, as the soil cools down during the night and early watering will avoid thermal shock; also because when the sun is high, moisture will evaporate too quickly. When the lawn is particularly dry, it is advisable to water sparingly at first, and then increase the amount by stages. the water used should never be too cold: sprayers or lances are ideal for delivering atomized water at the most suitable temperatures. Protection of plants, hedges and lawns The preservation of green areas is a major concern, especially in the urban context: indeed plants play a role of fundamental importance not only from the health and hygiene standpoint, as the optimum antidote to pollution, The essential purpose of these machines is to atomize the active chemical in solution with water, and spray it at the vegetation being treated.

Proper maintenance of snow thrower Each time the snow thrower is to be used, check the oil level and, if necessary, change the oil (refer to the operating and maintenance manual). In the electric starting model check the battery charge at least once every 3 months. Check that the tyre inflation pressure is correct. Lubricate the augers via the relative grease nipple; lubricate the ejector chute rotation ring at least once every 3 months. Guide to snow thrower selection The model must be chosen on the basis of the snow conditions in the area of use; for example, if the snowdrifts to be removed are small, it is better to avoid excessively wide augers (efficiency of the snow thrower is optimal only when the impeller is completely filled with snow). Models with limited working width are also the most suitable for working in confined spaces or when the Garden has many obstacles and a large number of curves. Vice versa, select models with wider augers (and consequently with more powerful engines) combined with crawler track transmission to clear heavy snowfalls. If the snow thrower is to be garaged in a place that is poorly protected from low temperatures, choose an electric start model to avoid starting problems. The heated handgrips provide the maximum level of operator comfort during use of the snow thrower. 60 ARTIK snow throwers for home use ARTIK 56 EL Engine make/model Starting ARTIK 52 ARTIK 56 ARTIK 56 EL Emak 163 cm³ (5.5 HP) Emak 182 cm³ (6 HP) Emak 212 cm³ (7 HP) manual manual manual/electric 12 V Working width 52 cm 56 cm 56 cm Propulsion manual self-propelled self-propelled Gearbox 1 forward speed 7-speed (5 forward + 2 reverse) 7-speed (5 forward + 2 reverse) N° stages 1 stage 2 2 manual / 190° horizontal 70° vertical manual / 190° horizontal 70° vertical manual / 190° horizontal 70° vertical 2-8 m 8-12 m 8-12 m no no no Ejector chute adjustment Maximum discharge range Control console Worklight no no yes Tyres type 9"x3.5"x6 super-grip 13"x4.1"-6 super-grip 13"x4.1"-6 super-grip 45 Kg 70 Kg 73 Kg ARTIK 62 ELD ARTIK 70 ELD ARTIK 72 ELDT Engine make/model Emak 265 cm³ (9 HP) Emak 302 cm³ (10 HP) Emak 375 cm³ (13 HP) Starting manual/electric 230 V (110 V) manual/electric 230 V (110 V) manual/electric 230 V (110 V) 62 cm 70 cm 70 cm self-propelled self-propelled self-propelled 8-speed (6 forward + 2 reverse) 8-speed (6 forward + 2 reverse) 8-speed (6 forward + 2 reverse) Weight ARTIK 70 ELD Working width Propulsion Gearbox N° stages Ejector chute adjustment Maximum discharge range Control console 2 2 2 manual / 190° horizontal 70° vertical manual / 190° horizontal 70° vertical manual / 190° horizontal 70° vertical 10-15 m 10-15 m 10-15 m yes yes yes Worklight yes yes yes Tyres type 14"x5"-6 super-grip 15"x6.5"-7 super-grip tracks 85 Kg 118 Kg 118 Kg Weight 61 Transporters Ideal for construction and agricultural duties involving the transportation of bulky and heavy loads on steep gradients or over rough terrain.
