9. Maintenance

Keep the pole pruner in good working order. All
instructions regarding maintenance and cleaning
must be carried out regularly or daily and before
each use. improper maintenance, the use of non-
conforming spare parts, or the removal or modifica-
tion of safety devices can lead to serious damage to
property or personal injury.
If the user cannot carry out this work himself, a spe-
cialist dealer must be consulted.
Attention! Always unplug the mains plug before
inspection and adjustment work. Always wear work
gloves when you are working on the high pruner, to
avoid injuries.
To ensure long, reliable use of the pole-mounted pruner,
complete the following maintenance work at regular
intervals.
• Check the pole-mounted pruner for:
• loose or damaged saw chain
• loose fastening
• Wear, especially on the chain, guide rail and chain
wheel.
• worn or damaged components
• properly installed and intact covers or protective
devices.
Complete necessary repairs or maintenance work be-
fore using the pole-mounted pruner.
Safety devices removed for maintenance and cleaning
must be attached again correctly and checked.
9.1 Replacing the saw chain and guide bar
The guide bar must be replaced if the guide
• groove of the guide bar is worn out.
• the spur wheel in the guide bar is damaged or worn
out.
For this purpose, proceed as described in the chapter
"Assembly of the guide bar and saw chain"!
9.2 Checking the automatic chain lubrication
Regularly check the functionality of the automatic chain
lubrication in order to prevent overheating and the
subsequent damage to the guide bar and saw chain
associated with it. For this purpose, align the guide bar
tip against a smooth surface (board, cut-in of a tree) and
allow the high pruner to run. If an increasing amount of
oil appears, the automatic chain lubrication functions
properly. If no clear trace of oil appears, please read the
appropriate information in the chapter "Fault remedy"!
If this information does not help, please contact our cu-
stomer service or a similarly qualified workshop.
Attention! Do not touch the surface during the
process. Maintain a sufficient safety clearance
(approx. 20 cm).

the saw chain is in good condition and sharp. This also
reduces the danger of a kickback. The saw chain can
be resharpened by a specialty dealer. Do not attempt
