Généralement, la pince de préhension saisit l'arbre au-dessus des bras de coupe et le soulève une fois abattu; il peut cependant arriver, comme dans le cas de l'abatteuse à bras directeur, que les bras de préhension prennent appui sur la souche même, permettant ainsi de réduire l'effort demandé à la flèche tout en centrant l'arbre dans la flèche d'abattage. 1, record 2, French, - pince%20de%20pr%C3%A9hension
