Working with the telescopic rod
Before starting work, always check that the
telescopic rod is in perfect working order. Only
use the telescopic rod when undamaged and
complete.
There is the risk to be hit by falling branches.
Always keep sufficient distance to the branch
you are sawing off.
Avoid abnormal postures and never cut above
shoulder height.
Practice all work techniques. Inexperienced
persons are strongly advised to seek
competent advise and guidance from an
experienced person before operating this machine.

Basic working method, sawing through
branches and twigs
Choose your location so that will not get hit by the
falling branch.
Start sawing on branches at the bottom so that the
branches above have room to fall down.
Saw off long branches in several steps.
In order to avoid tearing off the bark: Do not make
the final cut until you have sawn off most of the
branch, thus reducing the weight.
Pull the machine out of the wood only with the
sawing chain running.
Do not work close to the ground. The guide rail must
not touch the ground because this would cause the
sawing chain to become blunt very quickly.
(A)
1. Press the machine with the stop (A) against the
wood. The chain must not touch the wood when
it is switched on. Switch on the machine and only
then start sawing by guiding the saw
downwards. Do not press, the saw's own weight
is sufficient. Towards the end of the cut, take the
weight off the saw. Prepare yourself for the
weight of the saw that you will have to support
when the saw has cut through the branch.
2. To maintain full control of the machine at the
actual "cut-through" point, reduce the acting
weight force of the saw without loosening your
firm hold on the machine handles.
3. After completing the cut, switch off the motor,
wait for the sawing chain to come to a stop
before removing the machine. Always switch off
the machine before moving from branch to
branch.
Never attempt to free a jammed saw with the
motor running. Switch off the motor and
remove battery packs. Hold the saw firmly and lift
the branch. If the saw is still stuck, seek professional
help.
Do not use the saw as a lever.
7. Transporting
WARNING! Let the machine come to a
standstill. Remove the battery packs . Slide
the protective cover onto the guide rail of the
machine.
Remove the machine from the telescopic rod for
transport.
Secure the telescopic rod during transport to
prevent oil loss, damage or injury.
