Ensure that the equipment is
functional before each use.
The On/Off switch and the
safety switch must not be
held closed. They must switch
off the motor when on is
released. Should a switch
be damaged, stop working
with the equipment. Ensure
that the mains voltage value
matches the label on the
equipment.
Note noise protection and local
specifications. 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 flows to the blade bar as soon as
the motor starts working.
Filling with chain oil:
• Check the oil level indicator (30) on
the oil tank regularly and top up with
oil once the minimum mark "OIL min"
is reached. The oil tank holds about 65
ml of oil.
• Use bio-oil containing additives to re-
duce 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 (29) and pour
the chain oil into the tank.
2. Wipe away any spilt oil and close the
oil tank cap (29).
Always turn off the device
and let the motor cool down
before filling with chain oil.
Overflowing oil can cause a
fire.
Checking the oil automation
Before starting work, check the oil automa-
tion system.
• Push the tubular shaft (7) completely
together (see "Extending the tubular
shaft"), switch on the device and hold
the blade bar (1) over a light back-
ground. The device should not touch
the ground.
If a trace of oil appears, the device is
working flawlessly.
If no trace of oil appears, clean the
oil passage (23) or have the device
repaired by our customer service
department.
Clean the oil passage (23) to en-
sure fault-free, automatic oiling of
the saw chain during operation.
Use a brush or a cloth to help re-
move residues from the oil passage
(23).
