Branch Cutter

Switching from a conventional pruner to an electric saw increases power and allows users to cut off thicker and hard-to-reach branches. At the same time it brings along a number of unforeseen usability problems. These were dealt with during the design process by means of mock-ups, technical models and extensive usage tests with a fully functional prototype.
