Automatic Chain Lubrication
You should check the operation of the automatic chain
lubrication system on a regular basis in order to guard
against overheating and the damage this can cause to the
guide bar and the chain.
Point the tip of the guide bar above some light coloured
paper such as newspaper and allow the pruner to run.
If you see a growing oil stain on the paper surface, the
automatic chain lubrication system is working properly.
If no clear oil trace is evident then please refer to the
corresponding instructions in “Troubleshooting”. If
the information contained there still fails to remedy
the situation, please contact our service department or another similarly qualified workshop. Do
not actually touch the surface with the tip of the cutter rail when performing this test. Keep a safe
distance (approx. 20 cm).
Pole Hedge Trimmer Blade
The high-quality cutter blades are made of tempered steel, and in normal use there is no need to
sharpen the blades. If you accidentally strike a wire, stone, glass or other hard object, this may
produce a notch in the blade.
There is no need to remove the notch as long as it does not adversely affect the movement of the
cutting edges. If it does adversely affect this movement, switch off the machine and use a fine file or
a fine grinding stone to remove the notch.
Make sure that the cutting blade is always well oiled. Lay
the pole hedge trimmer on a flat surface. Apply a light
weight machine oil along the edge of the top blade.
