4. Intended Use

The pole pruner arm is intended for removing branches
from trees. It is not suitable for extensive sawing work
and felling trees or for the sawing of materials other
than wood. Please observe that our machine was not
designed for use in commercial, technical or industrial
applications. We assume no liability if the machine is
used in commercial, technical or industrial applications
or for equivalent activities.

5. assembly

Caution! Only connect the pole pruner to the battery
when it is fully assembled and the chain tension has
been adjusted. Always wear protective gloves when car-
rying out work on the chainsaw in order to prevent injury.
5.1 assembly of guide bar and saw chain
Carefully unpack and inspect all parts for completeness.
(Fig.1)
• Loosen the fastening bolt for the chain sprocket cover.
(Fig.2)
• Remove the chain sprocket cover.
• Place the chain in the groove of the guide bar as
shown. (Fig.3/Pos. A)
• Insert the guide bar and chain into the mount on the
chainsaw. (Fig. 4) In the process, guide the chain
around the pinion and hang the guide bar in the chain
tensioning bolts.
• Re-mount and hand-tighten the chain sprocket cover
with the fastening bolt. (Fig.5)
attention! Only tighten the fastening bolt once the
chain tension has been adjusted.

5.2 Tensioning the saw chain

Caution! Always remove the battery before ins-
pection and adjustment work. Always wear protec-
tive gloves when carrying out work on the chainsaw
in order to prevent injury.
• Loosen the fastening bolt of the chain sprocket cover
a few rotations.
• Adjust the chain tension with a screwdriver at the
chain tensioning screw. (Fig.5)
• Clockwise rotation increases the chain tension; anti-
clockwise rotation reduces the chain tension. The saw
chain is correctly tensioned if it can be raised approx.
2 mm in the centre of the guide bar. (Fig.6)
attention! All chain links must lie properly in the
guide groove of the guide bar.
Information regarding the tensioning of the chain
The saw chain must be tensioned properly in order to
ensure safe operation. The chain tension is optimal if the
saw chain can be lifted 2 mm in the centre of the guide
bar. Since the saw chain heats up during the sawing
process, whereby its length changes, you must check
the chain tension at least once every 10 min. and adjust
it as necessary. This applies in particular for new saw
chains. Slacken the saw chain after work is completed,
because it shortens when cooling down. In doing so,
you can prevent damage to the chain.
5.3 saw chain lubrication
Caution! Always remove the battery before ins-
pection and adjustment work. Always wear protec-
tive gloves when carrying out work on the chainsaw
in order to prevent injury.
attention! Never operate the chain without chain-
saw oil! The use of the pole pruner without chain-
saw oil or with an oil level below the minimum oil
level mark results in damage to the pole pruner!
attention! Only use special chainsaw oil. The war-
ranty is voided with the use of used oil.
filling the oil tank (Fig. 7)
• Place the pole pruner on a leveled surface.
• Clean the area around the oil tank cap (Pos.8) and
then open it.
• Fill the oil tank with saw chain oil. In doing so, make
sure that no dirt gets into the oil tank so that the oil
nozzle does not clog.
• Close the oil tank cap (Pos.8).
Instructions for using the battery
1. When the pole pruner is delivered, the replaceable
battery is not charged. Before starting the machine
for the first time, the battery must be charged.
2. You must never open the battery.
3. Never throw the used batteries in fire - RIsK of
