Chain sharpening
Sharpen the chain regularly to maintain optimum performance
of the pole pruner.
Signs of a dull chain are:
• The sawdust becomes
powder-like
• Extra force is required to
execute a cut
• The cut does not track
in a straight line
• Increased vibration
Sharpen each cutter using a chain
file. Always use outward strokes
and maintain a 30° angle between
the chain and file. After sharpening, the cutters must all have the
same width and length.
Guide bar wear
Reverse the guide bar every 8 working hours to ensure uniform wear.
Check the guide rails frequently and if necessary remove burrs and
square up the rails using a flat file.
Power cord replacement
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done
by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Cleaning and storage
• Regularly clean the tensioning mechanism by blowing compressed
air onto or cleaning it with a brush. Do not use any tools for the
cleaning.
• Keep oil away from the handle in order to ensure a secure hold.
• Clean the machine as necessary with a damp cloth and a mild
cleanser, if appropriate.
• If the pole pruner is not used for an extended period of time,
remove the chain and bar oil from the tank. Briefly place the chain
and the guide bar in an oil bath and then wrap it in oil paper.
• Always replace the protective cover for transport or storage of the
pole pruner.
• Pull out the electrical plug before cleaning.
• Never immerse the machine in water or other liquids.
• Store the pole pruner in a safe and dry place and out of the
reach of children.
