The pruner with telescopic handle is designed for
lopping off tree branches. The equipment is not
suitable for extensive sawing work, felling trees or
sawing any materials other than wood.
The machine is to be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case of
misuse. The user / operator and not the manufacturer
will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind
caused as a result of this.
Please note that our equipment has not been designed

Assembly
4
Important!
Do not connect the pruner to the power
supply until it has been fully assembled and
the chain tension has been adjusted. Always wear
protective gloves when working on the pruner to
protect yourself against injury.
Carefully unpack all parts and check that they are
complete (Figs. 1 and 10).
4.1 Assembling the telescopic handle
Slide the top telescopic tube (Fig. 1/Item 9) into the
connecting piece (Fig. 1/Item 8). Ensure that the spring-
loaded bolt (Fig. 2/Item L) latches into the relevant hole
(Fig. 2/Item M) in the connecting piece.
4.2 Assembly of the cutter rail and the saw
chain
•
Undo the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover
(Fig. 3/Item 14) using the provided multifunction
accessory (Fig. 2/Item 16).
•
Take off the chain wheel cover (Fig. 3/Item 14).
•
As shown in Fig. 4, lay the saw chain (12) in the
groove (A) which runs around the cutter rail (13).
•
Insert the cutter rail and chain as shown in
Fig. 5. At the same time guide the chain around
the chain wheel (Fig. 5/Item B) and hook the
cutter rail into the chain tensioning bolt (Fig. 5/
Item C).
•
Attach the chain wheel cover (Fig. 3/Item 14) and
fasten it by hand with the fixing screw.
Important!
Do not fully tighten the fixing screw until
after adjusting the chain tension (refer to point 4.3).
4.3 Tensioning the saw chain
Important!
Always disconnect the mains plug before
performing any checks or adjustments. Always wear
protective gloves when working on the pruner to
protect yourself against injury.
•
Undo the fixing screw of the chain wheel
cover (Fig. 3/Item 14) a few turns using the
multifunction accessory (Fig. 3/Item 16).
•
Adjust the chain tension with the chain
tensioning screw (Fig. 6/Item D) using the
multifunction accessory (Fig. 6/Item 16). Turning
the screw clockwise increases the tension, turning
it counter-clockwise decreases the chain tension.
The saw chain is correctly tensioned if it can be
lifted around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter rail
(Fig. 7).
•
Tighten the fixing screw of the chain wheel cover
using the multifunction accessory (Fig. 8/Item 16).
Important!
All of the chain links must lie properly in
the guide groove of the cutter rail.
Notes on tensioning the chain:
The saw chain must be properly tensioned to ensure
safe operation. You can tell that the chain tension is
perfect if the saw chain can be lifted by around 2 mm
in the middle of the cutter rail. As the saw chain heats
up during cutting and thus changes in length, check the
chain tension no less than every 10 minutes and adjust
it again as required. This applies in particular to new
saw chains. When you have finished working slacken
the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it cools
down. This will prevent the chain from being damaged.
4.4 Saw chain lubrication
Important!
Always disconnect the mains plug before
performing any checks or adjustments. Always wear
protective gloves when working on the pruner to
protect yourself against injury.
Important!
Never operate the chain if it is not
lubricated with saw chain oil. Use of the pruner
without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below the
“min” mark will damage the pruner.
Important!
Be aware of the temperature conditions:
different lubricants with completely different
viscosities are required at different ambient
temperatures. At lower temperatures you will need
low viscosity oils in order to achieve a sufficient
lubricating film. However, if the same low viscosity oil
is used during the summer it will become even thinner
due to the ambient temperatures alone, and as a result
the lubricating film could break down, causing the
chain to overheat and become damaged. In addition,
the chain oil would burn and produce unnecessary
pollutants.
Filling the oil tank (Fig. 9)
•
Place the pruner on a flat surface.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cover (11) and
then clean the oil tank cover.
