Mounting the protective cover
extension:
1. Slide the extension (16) onto the
protective cover (14). Begin on the side
without the string cutter (15).
2. Slide the extension (16) up until it clicks
into place.

Initial Operation

When working with the de-
vice, wear suitable clothing,
work gloves, eye protection,
protective headgear, hearing
protection and cut-resistant
work boots. Prior to each use,
ensure that the machine is
working correctly. Do not lock
the On/Off switch in place.
Do not use the device if a
switch is damaged. Risk of in-
jury and damage to property.
Note noise protection and local
specifi cations. The use of the equip-
ment on certain days (e.g. Sundays
and national holidays), at certain
times of day (lunch times, night time
quiet periods) or in special areas
(e.g. health resorts, clinics etc.) is
restricted or forbidden.

Chain lubrication

The blade bar and saw chain must
never be operated without oil. If the
pole-mounted pruner is used with
too little oil, the cutting performance
and lifespan of the saw chain will
decrease as the saw chain will be-
come blunt more quickly. You can
identify when there is too little oil
if smoke develops or the blade bar
changes colour.
The oil fl ows to the blade bar as soon as
the motor starts working.
Filling with chain oil:
• Check the oil level indicator on the oil
tank (
39) regularly and top-up the
oil if the minimum mark „MIN" (
is reached on the oil level indicator. The
oil tank holds about 160 ml of oil.
• Use bio-oil containing additives to redu-
ce friction and wear. You can order this
from our service centre.
Alternatively, use chain lubricating oil
with a low proportion of adhesion addi-
tives.
• Empty the oil tank if it will not be used for
a prolonged period of time (6-8 weeks).
1. Unscrew the oil tank cap (41) and pour
the chain oil into the tank.
2. Wipe away any spilt oil and close the
oil tank cap (41).
3. You can regulate the oil fl ow with the
adjusting screw (42).
Always turn off the device
and let the motor cool down
before fi lling with chain oil.
Overfl owing oil can cause a
fi re.
Swivelling Out the
Blade Beam
The blade bar must be checked
regularly for wear and reground. A
blunt blade bar causes the device
to overload. Any damage that re-
sults is not covered by the warranty.
1. Hold the safety blade beam on the
handle to adjust the blade beam (43).
2. Unlock the safety lever (44) and keep
it pressed.
