3. OPERATION
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Cut injury when the product starts accidentally.
v
Wait for the chain to stop, remove the battery and slide the
protective cover over the bar before you adjust or transport
the product.
To charge the battery [ Fig. O1 / O2 / O3 ]:
CAUTION!
v
Note the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must
match the voltage specified on the rating plate of the charger.
For the GARDENA Pole Pruner Art. 14770-55 there is no battery
and no charger in the scope of delivery.
Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the charge condition of the
battery is automatically detected and then charged up with the optimal
charge current depending on battery temperature and voltage.
In this way, the battery is treated with care and remains permanently fully
charged when it is stored in the charger.
1. Push the locking button
(A)
and remove the battery
(B)
from the battery
holder
(D)
.
2. Connect the battery charger
(C)
into a mains socket.
3. Slide the battery charger
(C)
onto the battery
(B)
.
When the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
at the charger flashes green
the battery is being charged.
When the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
at the charger illuminates
permanently green the battery is completely charged
(Charging time, see 7. TECHNICAL DATA).
4. Examine the charge status regularly while you charge.
5. When the battery
(B)
is completely charged, you can disconnect the
battery
(B)
from the charger
(C)
.
Meaning of the indication elements:
Indication on the charger [ Fig. O3 ]:
Flashing of the battery
charge indicator
(Lc)
The charging procedure is indicated by
flashing
of the battery charge
indicator
(Lc)
.
Note:
The charging procedure is only possible when the battery
temperature is within the allowable charging temperature range,
see 7. TECHNICAL DATA.
Continuous lighting
of the battery
charge indicator
(Lc)
Continuous lighting
of the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
indicates that
the battery is fully charged
or
that the temperature of the battery is
not within the allowable charging temperature range and can therefore
not be charged.
When the battery is not inserted,
continuous lighting
of the battery
charge indicator
(Lc)
indicates that the mains plug is inserted in the
socket outlet and that the battery charger is ready for operation.
Battery charge status indication
(P)
on the product [ Fig. O4 / O14 ]:
After starting the product, the battery charge status indication
(P)
is displayed for 5 seconds.

To fill in chain oil [ Fig. O5 ]:
DANGER!
Physical injury due to chain breakage when the chain on
the bar is not sufficiently lubricated.
v
Check whether sufficient quantities of chain oil are delivered
prior to each use.
We recommend to use GARDENA Chain Saw Oil Art. 6006 or an
equivalent mineral chain oil from a specialist supplier.
1. Unscrew the lid
(7)
of the oil tank.
2. Fill chain oil into the filler neck
(8)
until the viewing window
(9)
is
completely filled with oil.
3. Close the lid
(7)
of the oil tank again.
4. Check the oil lubrication system.
The device must be cleaned thoroughly if oil has been spilled.
To check the oil lubrication system [ Fig. O6 ]:
v
Point the bar
(20)
at a bright wood cutting surface at a distance of
approx. 20 cm.
After operating the machine for one minute, clear traces of oil must be
visible on the surface.
CAUTION!
Never let the bar
(20)
come into contact with sand or soil as this
will lead to increased wear of the chain.
Work positions:
The Pole Pruner can be operated in 2 working positions (above / below).
To ensure a tidy cutting edge, thick branches should be cut in 2 steps
(Illustrations similar).
Saw above (thick branches) [ Fig. O6 /O7 /O8 ]:
1. Saw the branch from below max. 1/3 of the diameter (the chain slides
to the front stop
(a)
).
2. Saw off the branch from above (the chain pulls to the rear stop
(b)
).
Saw below [ Fig. O6 /O9 ]:
v
Saw off the branch from above (the chain pulls to the rear stop
(b)
).
To tilt the motor unit [ Fig. O10 ]:
The motor unit
(1)
can be tilted in 15° increments from 60° to – 60°.
1. Keep both orange buttons
(11)
pushed and tilt the motor unit
(1)
in the
desired direction.
2. Release both orange buttons
(11)
and let the motor unit
(1)
engage.
To extend the telescopic tube [ Fig. O11 ]:
The telescopic tube
(2)
can be continuously extended by up to 50 cm.
1. Loosen the orange nut
(12)
.
2. Extend the telescopic tube
(2)
to the desired length.
3. Tighten the orange nut
(12)
again.
To start the pole pruner [ Fig. O1 /O12 /O13 /O14 ]:
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Risk of injury if the product does not stop when you
release the start lever.
v
Do not bypass the safety devices or switches. For example do
not attach the start lever to the handle.
Verify that the following conditions are met before commencing
work:
– The tank has been filled with sufficient chain oil and the lubrica-
tion system has been checked (see 3. OPERATION).
– The chain is tensioned (see 4. MAINTENANCE).
To start:
The product is provided with a two-switch safety device (start lever
with starting lockout) to prevent the product from being turned on
by accident.
1. Put the battery
(B)
into the battery holder
(D)
until it audibly engages.
2. Open the snap fit
(13)
of the protective cover and remove from the bar.
3. Hold the pole pruner with one hand on the insulated gripping surface
on the telescopic tube
(2)
and with the other hand on the handle
(14)
.
4. Slide the starting lockout
(15)
forward and pull the start lever
(16)
.
The pole pruner starts and the battery charge status indication
(P)
is
displayed for 5 seconds.
5. Release the starting lockout
(15)
.
To stop:
1. Release the start lever
(16)
.
The pole pruner stops.
