Attaching/setting the
shoulder Strap
1. Attach the carabiner hook of the
shoulder belt (14) to the carrying
eye (15) on the telescoping rod
of the device.
2. Set the belt length in a way that
the carrying eye (15) is at hip
height (see small picture).
3. You can also adjust the height of
the carrying eye (15) on the tel-
escoping rod after loosening the
hex socket head screw (15a).
Installing the sawing chain
and blade
Always disconnect the plug from
the mains socket before working.
Danger of electric shock.
1. Spread out the sawing chain (1)
in a loop in a way that the an-
gled cutting edges of the chain
links are aligned clockwise.
2. Place the sawing chain (1) into
the blade groove.
3. To install, hold the blade (2)
tilted at an angle of approx.
45 degrees upward, and guide
the sawing chain (1) around the
chain wheel (23).
4. Place the blade (2) with the
longitudinal milling above the
centre blade guide (21).
5. To facilitate assembly, position
the chain tensioning pin (26) by
turning the chain tensioner (5)
towards the blade fixing screw
(4) until it stops, before fitting the
chain wheel cover (6).
6. Replace chain wheel cover (6).
-- Hole (25) on the blade is the
holder for chain tensioning
pin (26).
- Thread (24) is the holder for
blade fixing screw (4).
7. Tighten the blade attachment
screw (4) with light hand force
only because the sawing chain
(1) must still be tightened.
Ensure that chain tensioning pin
(26) is positioned in hole (25) on
the blade (2). The pin must be com-
pletely inserted into the hole.
Tensioning the saw chain
Always disconnect the plug from
the mains socket before working.
Danger of electric shock.
The tension of saw chain (1) is important
both for your safety and for the function of
the electric pruner. A correctly tensioned
saw chain will increase the lifetime of your
equipment.
• Saw chain (1) is correctly tensioned
if it can be pulled around blade 2 by
hand (wearing gloves) without sag-
ging.
• When the saw chain is tensioned with
9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap between
the saw chain and the guide rail may
not be more than 2 mm.
1. Turn blade fixing screw (4) anticlock-
wise to slightly loosen blade (2).
2. Set the tension of saw chain 1 using
chain tensioner (5).
- Turn the chain tensioner clockwise to
increase the tension.
- Turn the chain tensioner anticlock-
wise to decrease the tension.
