when the chain snaps back after being pulled 2 mm
away from the chain bar.
ƒ
After a short period of use, allow the chain to cool,
remove the battery and check the tension again.
Watch tension carefully for the first half-hour of
use and periodically throughout the life of the
chain readjusting as required when the chain and
bar are cool to the touch. Never tension chain when
it is hot.
Chain will stretch as a result of normal use, however,
insufficient oil, aggressive use, or failure to perform
recommended maintenance can lead to premature
stretching.
OPERATION
ADJUSTING THE TELESCOPING HANDLE (C)
1. Unlock the telescope release lever so that the pole
can freely extend outwards and inwards.
2. Extend it to the desired length and lock the tele -
scope release lever to hold it in place.
ADJUSTING THE HARNESS (G)
Adjust the harness to a length which is suitable for
your operation (G) .
Always use the harness to carry the product weight
on your shoulder (on the same side of tool or cross
your body)!
Ensure that the quick release is on your chest (NOT
on your back).
Open the quick release clamp (G) if it is necessary to
open the harness quickly.
TURNING THE POLE SAW ON AND OFF
To turn ON, hold the pole saw firmly with both hands.
Press and hold the safety switch (2) located on the
left-hand side of the rear handle above the main pow-
er trigger. Press down the trigger (3) to turn it ON.
The safety switch can now be released. To turn OFF,
release the ON/OFF trigger switch.
PREPARATION
Before each use, check the following items to ensure
safe working conditions.
POLE SAW: Before beginning work, inspect the pole
saw for damage to the housing, the extension cable,
the saw chain and the guide bar. Never use an obvi -
ously damaged machine.
OIL TANK: check the fill level of the oil tank. Also
check whether there is sufficient oil available while
working. Never operate the saw if there is no oil or
the oil level has dropped below the minimum oil level
mark in order to prevent damage to the pole saw. On
average, an oil filling is sufficient for approximately
10 minutes of cutting operation (depending on the
duration of pauses and the density of the workpiece).
SAW CHAIN: check the tension of the saw and the
condition of the blades. The sharper the saw chain is,
the easier and more manageable operations will be.
The same applies to chain tension. Check the tension
every 10 minutes of operation to maximize safety.
New saw chains in particular are subject to changes
due to the heat created by operation.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: make sure to wear the
appropriate close-fitting protective clothing such
as chainsaw-protective pants, gloves and safety
shoes. Wear a safety helmet with integrated hear -
ing protection and a face guard to provide protec-
tion against falling and recoiling branches.
HEAD ADJUSTMENT: The angle of the saw’s head
can be adjusted anywhere from 0 to 30 degrees by
pushing down on the Angle Adjustment Button.
If you would like to change the angle of the saw’s
head, first remove the battery and then adjust to
the desired angle.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Remove the battery before inspect-
ing, adjusting, performing maintenance, or
cleaning the unit.
CLEANING
f
Brush or blow dust and debris out of the air vents
using compressed air or a vacuum. Keep the air
vents free of obstructions, sawdust, and wood
chips. Do not spray, wash, or immerse the air vents
in water.
f
Wipe off the housing and the plastic components
using a moist, soft cloth. Do not use strong sol -
vents or detergents on the plastic housing or plas-
tic components. Certain household cleaners may
cause damage or cause a shock hazard.
f
Routinely clean out the dust and debris that gath -
ers under the tension housing, the oil outlet, and
around the bar and the chain sprocket. Otherwise
it can jam up the sprocket, the chain, and the lubri -
cation system.
REPLACING THE SAW CHAIN AND GUIDE BAR
WARNING: Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manufacturer. Incorrect
replacement bars and chains may cause chain
breakage and/or kickback.
The guide bar must be replaced if the groove of the
guide is worn out or the spur wheel in the guide bar
is damaged or worn out.
1. Loosen the cover release knob to release the
chain sprocket cover (D) . Remove the chain
sprocket cover.
2. Lift the worn saw chain out of the fitted slot in
the guide bar.
3. Place the new chain in this position, making
sure the teeth are facing the correct direction
and that the edge of the chain fits into the slot
around the guide bar.
4. Replace the cover and tighten the release knob.
Adjust tension before operating.
CHECKING THE AUTOMATIC CHAIN LUBRICATION
Regularly check the functionality of the automatic
chain lubrication in order to prevent overheating
and the subsequent damage to the guide bar and
saw chain. For this purpose, align the guide bar tip
against a smooth surface (board, cut-in of a tree)
and allow the pole saw to run. If an increasing
amount of oil appears, the automatic chain lubrica -
tion functions properly.
