6. Operation
6.1 Adjusting the telescopic length
1. Loosen the telescopic locking mechanism (7), as
shown in fig. 10.
2. Draw the shaft (5) to the desired length (fig. 10).
3. Secure the telescopic locking mechanism again - the
shaft is now locked at the desired length.
6.2 Connection to the mains supply
• Connect the mains cable to a suitable extension ca-
ble. Make sure that the extension cable is designed to
accommodate the power of the chain saw.
• Secure the extension cable against tractive forces
and accidental unplugging as shown in (Fig.11).
• Connect the extension cable to an earthed safety
socket installed in accordance with regulations. We
recommend the use of a cable in a signal colour (red
or yellow). This reduces the risk of accidental damage
from the chainsaw.
Recommendation
Only connect the device to a power source that is protect-
ed via a residual current protective device (RCD) with a
maximum release current of 30 mA.
6.3 Switching on/off
Switching on
• Hold the chainsaw firmly with both hands on the han -
dle (thumb under the handle).
• Press and hold the switch lock (Fig.11).
• Switch the chainsaw on with the on/off switch (3). The
switch lock (14) can now be released again.
Switching off
• Release the on/off switch (3). Always pull out the
mains plug when discontinuing the work.
7. Working with the chainsaw
7.1 Preparation
Before each use or in case the pole-mounted pruner falls
down, it is necessary to check the device carefully for
wear and any possible damage. If damages are detect-
ed, then they must be repaired immediately by you or
an authorised service provider. Prior to commissioning,
check the following points on the pole-mounted pruner:
- Correcting shoulder strap seating and inspection of the
quick-release mechanism
- Damage to the device like cracks on the guide rail
- Correct guide rail seating
- Installation/running direction of the problem-free
(sharp) saw chain
- Saw chain tension (in case of a new chain, check and
readjust this multiple times)
- Functioning chain lubrication
Condition of the chainsaw
Before beginning work, inspect the chainsaw for damage
to the housing, the mains cable, the saw chain and the
guide bar. Never use an obviously damaged machine.
Oil tank
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 chain saw. On average, an oil filling is sufficient
for 10 minutes of operation, depending on the duration
of pauses and the stress.
Saw chain
Tension of the saw chain, condition of the cutters. The
sharper the saw chain is, the easier and more manage-
able the chain saw is to operate. The same applies for
the chain tension. Also check the chain tension at least
once every 10 minutes while working in order to increase
safety! New saw chains, in particular, tend to have a
higher degree of elongation.
Protective clothing
Make absolutely sure to wear the appropriate, close-fit -
ting protective clothing, such as chainsaw-protective
pants, gloves and safety shoes.
Hearing protection and protective goggles
Wear a safety helmet with integrated hearing protection
and a face guard. This provides protection against falling
branches and recoiling branches.
Attachment of the shoulder belt
WARNING! Danger of injury! If the carrying strap
is not detached promptly in an emergency, serious
injuries can result.
1. Wear the shoulder belt so that it lies over the right
shoulder (Fig. 12).
2. Fasten the carabiner hook on the shaft bracket on
the shaft (Fig. 13).
Never carry the belt diagonally across your shoulders
and chest, but rather only on one shoulder, so that you
can rapidly move away from the tool in case of danger.
Safe working
The operating manual contains important instructions
about how to work securely and professionally with the
pole-mounted pruner so that danger can be avoided.
Nevertheless, if a blockage results between the cut ma-
terial and the saw chain, then shut it off immediately. Wait
until the saw chain comes to a stop. Pull out the mains
connector and put on cut-resistant gloves to remove the
blockage.
If the guide rail (blade) is removed, then follow the in-
structions described in the assembly chapter.
After removing the blockage and reassembly, a test run
must be completed. If vibrations or mechanical noises
are detected, stop the work and contact an authorised
service provider.
If this hazard occurs frequently, we recommend a training
course.
• To ensure safe work, a working angle of max. 60° is
required (fig. 14).
• Never stand below the branch being sawed.
• Take care when sawing branches under tension and
