only suitable for small work. If You Need to cut some Relatively small branches of 10-15 cm diameter about max. I was cutting some smaller branches, That was very good. but after one branch of about 15cm it started smoking. Afterthat the machine stopped and it went dead and shorted the fuses. so small branch here and there >> good product. LittleBigPlanet larger branches and putting the machine on longer than 2 or 3 minutes >> Machine cant handle it.
