Imibono yokuklama amathuluzi okuthena akhethekile ingase ivele ngokushesha ngemva kokuba umuntu wokuqala ethene ngamabomu isitshalo.Cishe eminyakeni eyizi-2 000 edlule, umRoma okuthiwa u-Columella wabhala nge-vinitoria falx, ithuluzi lokuthena amagilebhisi elinemisebenzi eyisithupha ehlukene.
Angikaze ngilibone ithuluzi elilodwa lokunqampuna lenza izinto eziyisithupha ezahlukene.Kuye ngezitshalo zakho kanye nezifiso zengadi, ungase ungadingi ngisho namathuluzi ahlukene ayingxenye yeshumi nambili.Kodwa noma ubani otshala izitshalo cishe udinga ithuluzi elilodwa lokuthena.
Cabanga ngalokho okusikayo ukuze ithuluzi libe usayizi ofanele wokusikwa.Abalimi abaningi kakhulu bazama ukusebenzisa izithena zezandla ukunquma amagatsha awugqinsi kakhulu ukusika ngempumelelo ngaleli thuluzi.Ukusebenzisa ithuluzi losayizi ongalungile kungenza ukuthena kube nzima, noma kungenzeki, futhi kushiye iziphunzi eziphukile ezenza isitshalo sibukeke sishiyiwe.Kungalimaza nensimbi.
Ukube benginethuluzi elilodwa lokuthena, cishe bekungaba isikelo esinesibambo (lokho amaNgisi akubiza ngokuthi i-pruner) esingasetshenziswa ukusika iziqu ezingaba uhhafu we-intshi ububanzi.Ukuphela kokusebenza kwezisila zezandla kune-anvil noma i-bypass blade.Uma usebenzisa isikelo esine-anvil, i-blade ebukhali incike onqenqemeni oluyisicaba lwe-blade ephambene.Imiphetho eyisicaba yenziwe ngensimbi ethambile ukuze ingafiphazi imiphetho ebukhali ephambene.Ngokuphambene, isikelo se-bypass sisebenza njengesikelo, esinama-blade amabili acijile ashelelayo adlulelene.
Izikere ze-anvil ngokuvamile zishibhile kunezishekeli ezidlulayo futhi umehluko wentengo ubonakala ekusikeni kokugcina!Izikhathi eziningi i-anvil blade yayichoboza ingxenye yesiqu ekupheleni kokusikwa.Uma izindwani ezimbili zingahlangani kahle, ukusika kokugcina ngeke kuphelele futhi intambo yamagxolo izolenga esiqwini esisikiwe.I-blade ebanzi, eyisicaba nayo yenza kube nzima ukuthi ithuluzi lilingane kahle ngaphansi kwenduku ekhishwayo.
Isikelo siyithuluzi eliwusizo kakhulu.Ngihlale ngibheka abantu abangase bakwazi ukuthola isisindo, ukuma kwesandla kanye nebhalansi ngaphambi kokukhetha ikhandidethi.Ungathenga isikelo esikhethekile sabancane noma abasele.Bona ukuthi kulula yini ukulola ama-blade kupheya elithile lezishekeli zezandla;amanye anama-blade ashintshwayo.
Hhayi-ke, asiqhubekele esihlokweni.Ngithena kakhulu futhi nginezinhlobonhlobo zamathuluzi okuthena, okuhlanganisa nokugunda kwezandla okuhlukahlukene.Izikele ezintathu engizikhonzile ezinezibambo, zonke zilenga endaweni yokubeka eduze komnyango wengadi.(Kungani izinsimbi zomculo eziningi kangaka? Ngaziqoqa ngenkathi ngibhala incwadi ethi The Book of Oruninga.
Izikere engizikhonzile ngezandla yizikele ze-ARS.Bese kuba khona isikelo sami se-Felco sokuthena okusindayo kanye nesikelo sami se-Pica, isikelo esilula engivame ukusiphonsa ephaketheni lami elingemuva uma ngiphumela engadini, noma ngabe angihlelile ukusika noma yini.
Ukusika amagatsha ngaphezu kwengxenye ye-intshi ububanzi futhi cishe intshi nengxenye ububanzi, uzodinga isikele.Leli thuluzi ngokuyisisekelo liyafana nezishekeli zezandla, ngaphandle kokuthi izindwani zisinda kakhulu futhi izibambo zinde ngamamitha ambalwa.Njengamashekeli ezandla, ukuphela kokusebenza kwama-secateurs kungaba yi-anvil noma i-bypass.Izibambo ezinde zama-loppers zisebenza njengenzuzo yokusika lezi ziqu ezinkulu futhi zingivumela ukuthi ngifinyelele phansi kwezihlahla ze-rose noma i-gooseberry ngaphandle kokuhlaselwa ameva.
Amanye ama-lopper nama-shears ezandla anegiya noma indlela ye-ratchet yamandla okusika engeziwe.Ngithanda kakhulu amandla okusika engeziwe ama-Fiskars loppers, ithuluzi lami eliyintandokazi yalolu hlobo.
Uma isidingo samandla okusika sidlula lokho okungenziwa ngabasiki bami basengadini, ngiya eshede lami ngiyothatha isaha lengadi.Ngokungafani nesaha lokusika, amazinyo okuthena aklanyelwe ukusebenza okhunini olusha ngaphandle kokuvaleka noma ukunamathela.Okungcono kakhulu okubizwa ngokuthi ama-blades aseJapane (ngezinye izikhathi abizwa ngokuthi "i-turbo", "i-three-start" noma "i-frictionless"), enqamula ngokushesha futhi ehlanzekile.Zonke ziza ngosayizi abahlukene, kusukela kulawo agoqayo ukuze alingane kahle ephaketheni lakho elingemuva kuya kulawo angaphathwa ngesikhwama sebhande.
Asikwazi ukushiya isihloko samasaha engadini ngaphandle kokukhuluma ngamasaha, ithuluzi eliwusizo kodwa eliyingozi.Lawa masaha kaphethiloli noma kagesi anganqamula ngokushesha izitho ezinkulu zabantu noma izihlahla.Uma udinga kuphela ukusika igceke eligcwele izitshalo, i-chainsaw iyaqina.Uma usayizi wokusikwa kwakho usho ithuluzi elinjalo, qasha elilodwa, noma okungcono, qasha uchwepheshe onesaha yokusaha ukuthi akwenzele lona.
Ulwazi nge-chainsaw seludale ukuhlonishwa kwaleli thuluzi lokuthena eliwusizo kodwa eliyingozi.Uma uzwa sengathi udinga i-chainsaw, thola engusayizi ofanele wezinkuni ozigawulayo.Uma wenza kanjalo, phinda uthenge izibuko, ama-headphone, nama-knee pad.
Uma unamaheji asemthethweni, uzodinga izinqamuli zothango ukuze uzigcine zihlanzekile.Izikele zezandla zibukeka njengezikere ezinkulu futhi zilungele uthango oluncane.Ukuze uthole uthango olukhudlwana noma ukusika okusheshayo, khetha amashekeli kagesi aneziqu eziqondile nama-oscillating blades asebenza injongo efanayo njengamashekeli okwenziwa ngesandla.
Nginothango olude oluyimfihlo, olunye uthango lwama-apula, uthango lwe-boxwood, kanye namayewu ambalwa angavamile, ngakho ngisebenzisa izikere zikagesi.Izinqamuli zothango ezisebenza ngebhethri zenza umsebenzi ujabulise ngokwanele ukungikhuthaza ekusikeni izitshalo ezingavamile nakakhulu.
Emakhulwini eminyaka adlule, amathuluzi amaningi okuthena akhiwe ngezinhloso ezikhethekile kakhulu.Izibonelo zifaka amahhuku okumba ama-crimson vine, amasilinda acijile okusika amahlumela ama-strawberry, nezinqamuli zothango ezinamandla ebhethri enginazo futhi engizisebenzisayo ukuze ngifinyelele phezulu kothango olude.
Kuwo wonke amathuluzi akhethekile atholakalayo, ngeke ngincome ukusebenzisa i-chainsaw yegatsha eliphezulu.Kuwubude nje besaha elinentambo ekugcineni ngakunye.Uphonsa idivayisi phezu kwegatsha eliphezulu, ubambe isiphetho sentambo ngayinye, ubeke iketango elinamazinyo phakathi nendawo yegatsha, bese udonsa izintambo phansi ngokunye.Imiphumela ingaba yinhlekelele, futhi esimweni esibi kakhulu, izitho zingawela phezu kwakho njengoba eklebhula amagxolo amade esiqwini.
Ama-poleshears ayindlela ehlakaniphile yokubhekana namagatsha amade.Okunamathiselwe ezikeleni zami zokuthena kukhona insimbi yokusika kanye nesaha lokuthena, futhi lapho nje ngiletha ithuluzi ngesihlahla egatsheni, ngingakhetha indlela yokusika.Intambo ivula izindwani zokusika, ivumela ithuluzi ukuthi lenze umsebenzi ofanayo wokugunda izandla, ngaphandle kokuthi lihamba ngezinyawo eziningi likhuphukele esihlahleni.I-pole pruner iyithuluzi eliwusizo, nakuba ingasebenzi ngendlela efana ne-6-in-1 yamagilebhisi pruner evela e-Columella.
