Adjusting the chain tension
The chain must not have too much clearance, but it
must be possible to lift the chain a few millimeters from
the guide rail.
Loosen the fixing screw (1).
Slightly lift the end of the chain guide
Check the cutting chain for ease of operation by
turning it manually.
Adjust the tension of the chain by means of the screw for adjusting the tension of the
chain (4) so that the chain can be lifted a few millimeters from the center of the guide rail.
Secure the safety screw (1).
Use of the pole pruner
Never use the tool at an angle of more than 60 °. The correct operation of the pruner is not
impaired at angles greater than 60 °, but the risk of injury increases due to sudden drops of
branches. Pay attention to the floor in front of you when using the appliance. This allows you
to avoid tripping over branches on the ground. Never use the saw without oil. Use a
biodegradable chain oil. The pruning machine uses a low rebound chain. In addition, special
attention has been paid to the construction of the device to prevent the smallest possible
rebounds given the technical conditions given. Nevertheless, a slight rebound can not be
ruled out by using the upper cutting blade. Expect a rebound when using this side of the blade
or when the top of the blade comes into contact with another branch. The device should
always be used with both hands. The thin branches can be cut at once. To prevent a branch
from splitting or bending, it is advisable to slice it end to end. When slitting longer branches,
the branch should be cut from the bottom. First
cut the branch from below at a point away from
where you want to saw the branch. The notch
must have a depth between one third and one
half the thickness of the branch. This prevents
the branch from breaking when you cut it from
the top a little further away from the trunk. To
finish, saw the stump by making a straight cut.
If you wish, you can seal the cut using a
suitable product.
