Chain Lubricant
- For automatic and reliable lubrication of the chain and guide bar – use only an environmentally
compatible quality chain and bar lubricant with non-fling additive is recommended.

Filling Chain Oil Tank
Do not use waste oil!
Checking Chain Lubrication
The service life of the chain and guide bar depends on the quality of the lubricant. It is therefore
essential to use only a specially formulated chain lubricant. If special chain lubricant is not available,
you may – in an emergency – use an HD single grade or multi-grade engine oil with a viscosity that
suits the prevailing outside temperature.
Medical studies have shown that renewed contact with waste oil can cause skin cancer. Moreover,
waste is environmentally harmful!
Waste oil does not have the necessary lubricating properties and is unsuitable for chain lubrication.
A full chain oil tank is sufficient for only half a tankful of fuel. Check the oil level regularly during
cutting work. Never allow the oil tank to run dry!
Thoroughly clean the filler cap and area around it so that no dirt can fall into the tank.
Position the unit so that the filler cap faces up.
If the oil level in the tank does not go down, the reason may be a problem in the oil supply system:
Check chain lubrication, clean the oil ways, contact your servicing deal-er for assistance if necessary.
The saw chain must always throw off a small amount of oil.
Always check chain lubrication and the oil level in the tank before starting work.
Never operate your pruner without chain lubrication. If the chain is run dry, the whole cutting
attachment will be irretrievably damaged within a very short time.
Every new chain has to be broken in for about 2 to 3 minutes. After breaking in the chain, check
chain tension and adjust if necessary – see chapter „Checking Chain Tension“.

BEFORE OPERATION
When operating this machine, please follow the instructions for operations steps.
1. Filling with fuel
DANGER OF INJURY!
FUEL IS EXPLOSIVE! Indicates danger, warning or caution. May be used in conjunction
with other symbols or pictographs.
RISK OF DEVICE DAMAGE!
The device is supplied without motor or gearbox oil. Before operating you must fill it
with fuel.
Never use oil for 4-cycle engine use or water-cooled 2-cycle engines. It can cause spark plug foul-
ing, exhaust port blocking or piston ring sticking. Mixed fuels, which have been left unused for a
period of one month or more may clog the carburetor or result in the engine failing to operate
properly. Put unused fuel into an airtight container and keep it in the dark and cool room.
Mix a regular grade gasoline (leaded or unleaded, alcohol-free) and a quality-proven motor
oil for air-cooled 2 cycle engines.
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO
GASOLINE 50: OIL 1
WARNING! Always shut off engine before fueling. Never add fuel to a machine with a running or
hot engine.
WARNING! Never smoke while refueling and avoid inhaling petrol fumes.
WARNING! Be careful when opening the fuel tank as pressure may have formed inside.
Before refueling:
• Shake the fuel mixture container well.
• Place the unit on a flat stable surface, with the fuel tank cap facing upwards.
• Clean the fuel tank cap and the surrounding area to
avoid any dirt from entering the tank during refilling.
• Carefully open the fuel tank cap to allow
any pressure inside to decrease gradually.
• Unscrew the mixture container cap.
• Use a funnel to refill and avoid over-filling the tank.
• Pour the fuel carefully to avoid spilling.
• Screw the tank cap on firmly by hand.

A new chain has to be tensioned more often than one that has been in use for some time.
Tension is correct when the chain fits snugly against the underside of the bar and can still be pulled
along the bar by hand. Re-tension if necessary – see chapter “Tensioning the Saw Chain”. Chain at
operating temperature: The chain stretches and begins to sag. The drive links on the underside of the
bar must not come out of the bar groove – the chain may otherwise jump off the bar.
Re-tension the chain – see chapter “Tensioning the Saw Chain”.
Always slacken off the chain again after finishing work. The chain contracts as it cools down.
If it is not slackened off, it may damage the gear shaft and bearings.
13
After finishing work
USING THE POLE PRUNER
Preparations:
Slacken off the chain if you have retensioned it at operating temperature during cutting work.
The chain contracts as it cools down. If it is not slackened off, it may damage the gear shaft and bearings.
Wear suitable protective clothing and equipment .
Start the engine.
Put on the shoulder strap.
Never throw cuttings into the household garbage can – they can be composted!
Never stand directly under the branch you are cutting – be ware of falling branches. Note that a
branch may spring back at you after it hits the ground!
Cutting sequencePreparations:
To allow branches a free fall, always cut the lower branches first. Prune heavy branches
(large diameter) in several controllable pieces.
Working position
Hold the control handle with your right hand, and the drive tube with your left hand. Your left arm
should be extended to the most comfortable position.
The shaft should always be held at an angle of 60° or less!
The most convenient working position is a tool angle of 60°, but any lesser angle may be used to
suit the situation concerned.
Flush-cutting thick branches
If branch diameter is more than 4“ (10 cm), first per-form undercut ( 3) and then cross-cut at a
distance (A) of about 8“ (20cm) from the final cut.
Then carry out the flush-cut (4), starting with a reliev-ing cut and finishing with a cross-cut.
Taking Care of Guide Bar
Turn the bar over – every time you sharpen the chain – and every time you replace the chain.
This avoids one-sided wear, especiallly at nose and underside of the bar.
Regularly clean position 1/2/3/4
