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.
