Check the saw chain oil

■
Check that there is sufficient saw chain oil in
the tank:
■
Before starting work
■
During work
■
At every battery change, at the latest
■
If the oil level is low, refill saw chain oil.
Procedure see chapter 5.1 "Filling saw chain oil
(03)", page 34.
6.3 Extending/shortening the telescopic
pole (06)
The telescopic pole (06/2) is infinitely adjustable.
This means the length can be adjusted as re-
quired for the work.
1. Turn locking sleeve (06/1) in the direction of
the open padlock (06/a) until the clamp is re-
leased.
2. Move the telescopic pole until the desired
length is set (06/b)
3. Tighten the locking sleeve.

Swivelling saw head (07)

The swivelling saw head allows you to saw from
a comfortable and safe working position.
1. Press push-buttons (07/1) on both sides of
the saw head.
2. Swivel the saw head into the desired position
(07/a).
3. Release the push-buttons. The saw head en-
gages in the selected position.

of the tool.
Switching off the tool
1. Release the ON/OFF switch.

7 WORKING BEHAVIOUR AND
WORKING TECHNIQUE (09 – 14)
WARNING! Increased risk of falling.
There is a greater risk of falling if work is carried
out from an elevated position (e.g. ladder).
■
always work with the appliance from the
ground and make sure that you are standing
securely.
■
Heed the safety instructions.
■
During pruning, lift the pole-mounted pruner
(09/1) to a maximum angle of 60° (09/2).
■
Where possible, stand so that the cut can be
carried out at an angle of 90° to the branch
(10/a).
■
Saw off thick branches in sections (11/1) in
order to have better control over the point of
impact.
■
Never saw in the flaring at the beginning of
the branch in order to improve the healing of
the wound and to avoid rot (12).
■
Press (13/a) the pole-mounted pruner against
the branch (13/2) with the tree grip (13/1)
when sawing to stabilise it on the branch.
■
Before the branch is sawn off (14/b), make a
relief cut (14/a) on the underside of the
branch. This can avoid the bark tearing off
and causing difficult-to-heal damage to the
tree. The relief cut should not be deeper than
1/3 of the branch thickness to avoid any trap-
ping of the pole-mounted pruner.
■
Always pull the pole-mounted pruner out of
the branch with the saw chain rotating so that
it does not become trapped.
