MAINTENANCE
DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS
Maintaining the guide bar
1. Remove any sawdust from the guide bar, including the groove. Oil and sawdust
combine and emit a burning smell during operation if the blade is not regularly
cleaned.
2. Make sure that the oil port is not clogged. Grease the nose sprocket at the tip of the
guide bar.
3. Check for oil leakage and loose fastenings, especially those securing the handles and
the guide bar.
4. Reverse the guide bar every 8 working hours to ensure uniform wear. Check the
guide rails frequently and if necessary remove burrs and square up the rails using a
flat file.
Chain sharpening
Chain File: 3.96mm (5/32”)
Chain Pitch: 9.53mm (3/8”)
Chain Gauge: 1.1mm (0.043)
Sharpen the chain regularly to maintain
optimum performance of the pole pruner.
Signs of a dull chain are:
• The sawdust becomes powder-like
• Extra force is required to execute a cut
• The cut does not track in a straight line
• Increased vibration
Sharpen each cutter using a round 3.96mm (5/32”) chain file. Keep the file level
with the top plate of the tooth. Always use outward strokes and maintain a 30° angle
between the chain and file. After sharpening, the cutters must all have the same width
and length. After every 3–4 uses get an authorised repair centre to professionally
sharpen your chain. They have the special tools necessary to ensure the correct cutting
angles and depths.
Cleaning & storage
• Regularly clean the tensioning mechanism by blowing compressed air onto it or
cleaning it with a brush. Do not use any other tools for cleaning.
• Keep oil away from the handle in order to ensure a secure hold.
• Clean the machine as necessary with a damp cloth and a mild cleanser, if appropriate.
• If the pole pruner is not used for an extended period of time, remove the chain and
bar oil from the tank. Briefly place the chain and the guide bar in an oil bath and then
wrap it in oil paper.
• Always fit the guide bar cover for transport or storage of the pole pruner.
• Never immerse the machine in water or other liquids in order to clean it.
• Store the pole pruner in a safe and dry place and out of the reach of children.
• Pull the mains plug out of the socket, switch off the pole pruner and make sure that
it is secured in such a way that it cannot be started up again by any unauthorised
person.
• Never store the pole pruner upright, where it may fall and cause damage to the cord if
left under pressure for a long period of time.
• Store the pole pruner in a dry location which is not accessible to unauthorised
persons.
Supply cords
If replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by a certified
electrician in order to avoid a safety hazard.
