Operation
Working with the pole-
mounted pruner
If the saw chain gets stuck,
do not attempt to pull out the
pruner with force. There is a risk
of injury. Turn the motor o and
use a lever arm or wedge to re-
lease the pruner�
• You will have better control over the
device if you saw using the lower edge
of the blade bar (saw chain in pulling
direction) and not using the upper edge
of the blade bar (saw chain in pushing
direction).
• The saw chain must not touch the
ground or any object while sawing
through the material or thereafter.
• Ensure that the saw chain does not get
stuck while sawing. The log must not
break or splinter.
• Please also observe the precautionary
measures to protect against kickback
(see the safety information).
• Remove branches hanging downwards
by sawing from the top of the branch.
• Twisted branches must be individually
cut down to size.
Putting down the device
• Place the device gently onto the ground
with the device attachments ( 10).
• Do not apply any static pressure what-
soever to the device attachment ( 10).
Cutting techniques using the
pole-mounted pruner
Be aware of the risk of kickback
as well as falling branches and
branches on the ground.
• Sawing o small branches:
Place the locating surface of the saw
against the branch in order to prevent
jerky movements of the saw when you
begin to cut it. Guide the saw with light
pressure from the top to the bottom
through the branch.
Watch out for premature breakage of
the branch if you have misjudged the
size and weight.
• Sawing o larger branches:
In the case of larger branches, select
sawing process is controlled. To do
this, saw an incision (a) into the bot-
tom third of the branch (with the upper
side of the blade). Then saw from top
underside of the blade) (b)�
