CAUTION: Be especially careful, when using this
working technique, because the further away the
cutting tool is from the ground, the higher is the risk
that objects to be cut and particles will be hurled
sideways.
CAUTION: Incorrect use and misuse can damage
the bush cutter and cause severe injuries because of
pieces hurled away.
To minimize the risk of accidents by use of the cutting
blade, take note of following points:
• Never cut shrubbery or wood whose diameter is
larger than 2 cm.
• Avoid contact with metal bodies, stones, etc.
• Periodically check the cutting blade for damages.
Never continue to use a damaged cutting blade.
• When the cutting blade becomes apparently blunt,
it must be sharpened according to instructions.
When the cutting blade is apparently out of balance,
it must be replaced.
Working with pole saw
Oiling of the chain and bar
It is recommended to use commercial chain oil.
Remove the oil tank cap. (Fig.47 / L)
Fill the chain oil tank (Fig.47 / M )) to 80% with chain oil.
Close Oil tank cap (Fig.47 / L)
Oil Supply Control
Always make sure that the automatic oil system is
working properly. Always ensure the oil tank is full.
During sawing work, the guide and the chain must
always be sufficiently oiled to reduce friction with the
chain bar.
The chain bar and the chain must never be without
oil. If you operate the chain dry or with too little oil,
the cutting performance will decrease, the service life
of the chain bar will reduce, the chain will become
blunt quickly and the guide will wear rapidly owing to
overheating. You can detect a lack of oil from smoke
development or the guide changing colour.
To check the chain lubrication keep the chain on a
piece of paper and give full throttle for a few seconds.
On the paper the quantity of oil can be checked.The
saw chain must always throw off a little oil. After a few
seconds, a slight oil trace must be visible.
Make sure that there is always enough oil in the tank
because chain lubrication is always on.

You can reduce or increase the quantity of oil using
the screw (S).
Clockwise - oil quantity is reduced (-)
Anti-clockwise - oil quantity is increased (+)

Precautions for Saw procedure
Never stand under the branch you want to saw. Use
special caution when working with branches under
tension and splintering wood. Possible risk of injury
caused by falling branches and catapulting pieces
of wood. In general, it is recommended to set the
pruning saw at an angle of 60 ° to the road.
Keep both hands well with the device during the
cutting process and pay you up to an equilibrium
position and a good level.
• Never try to use your tool with one hand. The loss
• Never cut with the upper edge or the tip of the cutter
• Make sure that the chain tension is always correctly
• Practice for guiding the device slight pressure, but
Clear the work area before cutting interfering
branches and undergrowth. Then you create a retreat
area, far from the spot where the cut branches fall on,
and remove any obstacles there. Keep the work area
clean, remove the cut branches immediately. Pay
attention to your point, wind direction and the possible
direction of fall of the branches. Be prepared that
fallen branches can strike back. Place all other tools
and equipment at a safe distance from the branches
to be cut, but not in the retreat area.
Always observe the condition of the tree.
Look for rot and decay in the roots and branches.
If they are rotten inside, they can break off and fall
down unexpectedly during cutting.
You could also attend by fractured and dead branches
out, which is solved by the shake and fall on you. For
very thick or heavy branches you first make a small
incision below the branch before you work from the
top down to avoid chipping.
Basic cutting technique
Heavy branches break off easily when sawing. They
tear long strips of bark away from the trunk, which
damages the tree sustainably. The following section
technique can significantly reduce this risk:
• Saw the first branch about 10 cm from the trunk.
• Put in about 15 cm from the base of the top of a
• Saw until the branch breaks. The risk of injury on
