A method for cutting trees (18) in the vicinity of a power line (10) using a topping saw (17) suspended from a helicopter (15) in such a way that the helicopter is flown in the direction of the power line (10) so close to the electricity wires (12) that the topping saw suspended from the helicopter cuts the desired tops of the trees. The cutting line (14) of the topping saw (17) is determined in such a way that the helicopter is flown with the help of a video camera (21) attached to the suspension bar (16) for the topping saw at an angle of 45° and a monitor (22) placed in connetion with the helicopter's cockpit so that the video camera is kept directed towards the electricity wire (12) of the power line (10). The distance (a, b) of the point where trees are to be cut from the electricity wire (12) is determined by adjusting the distance (h) of the video camera from the cutting blade (20) of the topping saw (17). The topping saw (17} comprises two cutting blades (20) that rotate horizontally and in the same direcion and a motor (28) that rotates the cutting blades.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'abattage d'arbres (18) à proximité d'une ligne de transport d'énergie (10) à l'aide d'une scie d'écimage (17) suspendue à un hélicoptère (15). Ce procédé consiste à diriger l'hélicoptère vers la ligne de transport d'énergie (10), si près des câbles électriques (12) que la scie d'écimage suspendue à l'hélicoptère coupe la cime des arbres voulus. Pour déterminer la ligne de coupe (14) de la scie d'écimage (17), on dirige l'hélicoptère à l'aide d'un moniteur (22) relié à l'habitacle de l'hélicoptère, et d'une caméra vidéo (21) fixée, selon un angle de 45 DEG , à une barre de suspension (16) destinée à la scie d'écimage, de manière à garder la caméra vidéo dirigée vers le câble électrique (12) de la ligne de transport d'énergie (10). On détermine la distance (a, b) entre le point de coupe des arbres et le câble électrique (12) en réglant la distance (h) entre la caméra vidéo et la lame de coupe (20) de la scie d'écimage (17). La scie d'écimage (17) comporte deux lames de coupe (20) tournant horizontalement dans le même sens, ainsi qu'un moteur (28) entraînant les lames de coupe.
