Notice! Be aware of the temperature conditions:
diff erent lubricants with completely diff erent
viscosities are required at diff erent ambient tem-
peratures. At lower temperatures you will need
low viscosity oils in order to achieve a suffi cient
lubricating fi lm. However, if the same low viscosity
oil is used during the summer it will become even
thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone,
and as a result the lubricating fi lm could break
down, causing the chain to overheat and become
damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn
and produce unnecessary pollutants.
Filling the oil tank (Fig. 9):
Warning! Fill in the oil outdoors and do not
smoke while fi lling.
•
Place the electric pole pruner on a flat sur-
face.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Item
11) and then open the oil tank cover.
•
Fill the tank (Item 11a) with saw chain oil. In
the process, make sure that no dirt enters
the tank, as this could cause the oil nozzle to
become blocked.
•
Close the oil tank cover (Item 11).
6. Operation
Please note that the statutory regulations gover-
ning noise abatement may diff er from one loca-
tion to another.

6.1 Using the shoulder strap

Warning! Always use the shoulder strap when
working with the equipment. Switch off the
equipment before you take off the shoulder strap
(Otherwise there is a risk of injury.)
1. Fig. 10: Place the carry strap (Item 4) over
your shoulder and adjust the length of the
strap so that the strap holder is at waist level.
2. Fig. 11: The shoulder strap is equipped with a
buckle. Press the hooks (Item 4a) together if
you need to put down the equipment quickly.
6.2 Adjusting the telescoping pole (Fig. 12)
1. Open (a) the telescoping tube lock (Item 8) by
turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Pull out the telescoping tube (Item 9) until it
reaches the required working height.
3. Close (b) the telescoping tube lock (Item 8)
again by turning it clockwise.

6.3 Connecting to the power supply

•
Connect the power cable to a suitable ex-
tension cable. Make sure that the extension
cable is designed for the power rating of the
electric pole pruner.
•
Secure the extension cable (Item C) as
shown in Fig. 13 to protect it against pulling
forces and accidental disconnection.
•
Connect the extension cable to a profes-
sionally installed safety mains socket with
ground contact. We recommend using a
cable with a bright and highly visible color
(red or yellow). This will reduce the risk of
accidentally damaging it with the electric pole
pruner.
6.4 On/Off switch
Switching on
•
Fig. 1: Hold the electric pole pruner firmly with
one hand on the handle (Item 2) and with the
other hand on the grip area (Item 5).
•
Press and hold the safety lock-off (Fig. 13 /
Item 3a).
•
Switch on the electric pole pruner with the
On/Off switch (Fig. 13/Item 3). You can then
release the safety lock-off.
Switching off
Release the On/Off switch (Fig. 13/Item 3). Al-
ways disconnect the mains plug when you stop
working, even if it is only for a short time.
7. Working with the electric pole
pruner
Preparations
To ensure that you can work safely, check the
following points before every use and in the event
of any damage:
Condition of the electric pole pruner
Before you start work, inspect the electric pole
pruner for damage to the housing, to the power
cable, to the saw chain and to the cutter rail. Ne-
ver use equipment which is obviously damaged.
- Danger of accident!
Danger! The protective devices must not be re-
moved or modifi ed. - Danger of accident!
Never use the saw if the safety equipment is not
working properly. Never try to repair safety-rele-
vant protection systems yourself but get in touch
with our service department or with a similarly
