Filling in chain oil [ Fig. I4 ]:
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 Art. 6006 GARDENA Oil or an equivalent mineral
chain oil from a specialist supplier.
1. Unscrew lid of oil tank
4
.
2. Fill chain oil into the filler neck
5
until the viewing window
6
is fully
filled with oil.
3. Close the lid of oil tank
4
again.
The device must be cleaned thoroughly if oil has been spilled.
Checking the oil lubrication system:
v
Point the bar
e
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.
Never let the bar come into contact with sand or soil as this will
lead to increased wear of the chain.
4. OPERATION
Work positions [ Fig. O4 ]:
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).
– [ Fig. O1 ]: Above (thick branches): 1. From below, saw the
branch to no more than 1/3 of the dia meter (chain will push
towards the stop at the front
(A)
).
– [ Fig. O2 ]: Above (thick branches): 2. Cut off the branch from
above (chain will push towards the stop at the back
(B)
).
– [ Fig. O3 ]: Below: Cut off from above (chain will push towards
the stop at the back
(B)
).
DANGER!
Do not stand under the branch while cutting!
Tilting the motor unit [ Fig. O5 ]:
The motor unit
1
can be tilted in 15° increments from 60° to – 60°.
1. Remove the battery from the handle (see 3. INITIAL OPERATION).
2. Keep both orange buttons
0
pressed.
3. Tilt motor unit
1
in the required direction.
4. Release both orange buttons
0
and allow motor unit
1
to engage.
5. Put the battery on the handle (see 3. INITIAL OPERATION).
Extending the telescopic pipe [ Fig. O6 ]:
The telescopic tube
2
can be continuously extended by up to 50 cm.
1. Remove the battery from the handle (see 3. INITIAL OPERATION).
2. Loosen the orange nut
q
, extend the telescopic pipe
2
to the require
length, and tighten the orange nut
q
again.
3. Put the battery on the handle (see 3. INITIAL OPERATION).
Starting the Pole Pruner [ Fig. O7 / O8 / O9 ]:
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Physical injury due to cut injury!
v
Never override the safety devices (e. g. by strapping down the
starting lockout and / or the start button).
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. INITIAL OPERATION).
– The chain is tensioned (see 5. MAINTENANCE).
To start:
1. Open the snap fit of the protective cover
w
and remove from the bar.
2. Slide the battery onto the handle (see 3. INITIAL OPERATION).
3. Hold the telescopic pipe of the Pole Pruner with one hand and the
handle with the other hand.
4. Push the starting lock-out
r
forwards and press the start button
t
.
The Pole Pruner starts.
5. Release the starting lock-out

onto the bar and close until the snap fit
engages.
5. MAINTENANCE
[ Fig. O7 ]:
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Cut injury when the Pole Pruner switches on
unintentionally.
v
Before performing maintenance work, remove
the battery (see 3. INITIAL OPERATION), and slide the
protective cover
w
onto the bar and close until
the snap fit engages.
Cleaning the Pole Pruner [ Fig. M1 ]:
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Risk of injury and risk of damage to the product.
v
Do not clean the product with water or with a water jet
(in particular highpressure water jet).
v
Do not clean with chemicals including petrol or solvents.
Some can destroy critical plastic parts.
The airflow slots must always be clean.
1. Clean Pole Pruner with a damp cloth.
2. Clean bar
e
with a brush, if necessary.
Replacing the chain [ Fig. M2 / M3 / M4 ]:
DANGER! Risk of injury!
Cut injury due to the chain.
v
Wear protective gloves when replacing the chain.
When the cutting performance reduces significantly (dull chain), the chain
must be replaced. The Allen key for the screws
p
is situated inside the
protective cover
w
. Only the original GARDENA Spare Chain and Bar
Art. 4048 or Spare Chain Art. 4049 may be used.
1. Unscrew both screws
p
and remove the lid
a
