to the front tubular shaft (2) with the retai-
ner for spool and 3-tooth blade.
1. Screw the protective cover (14) to the
front tubular shaft (2) using the two
small Phillips screws (49). Use the Phil-
lips screwdriver (24) for this.

Initial Operation
When working with the de-
vice, wear suitable clothing,
work gloves, eye protection,
protective headgear, hearing
protection and cut-resistant
work boots. Prior to each use,
ensure that the machine is
working correctly. Do not lock
the On/Off switch in place.
Do not use the device if a
switch is damaged. Risk of in-
jury and damage to property.
Note noise protection and local
specifications. The use of the equip-
ment on certain days (e.g. Sundays
and national holidays), at certain
times of day (lunch times, night time
quiet periods) or in special areas
(e.g. health resorts, clinics etc.) is
restricted or forbidden.
Chain lubrication
The blade bar and saw chain must
never be operated without oil. If the
pole-mounted pruner is used with
too little oil, the cutting performance
and lifespan of the saw chain will
decrease as the saw chain will be-
come blunt more quickly. You can
identify when there is too little oil
if smoke develops or the blade bar
changes colour.
The oil flows to the blade bar as soon as
the motor starts working.
