For example: Batteries PXBP-200U (2Ah / 18V) &
PXBP-400U (4Ah / 18V). Charger: PXCG-030U (18V).
CAUTION: ENSURE THE TOOL IS OFF & THE BATTERY
REMOVED BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
OPERATIONS.
Fitting Rear Handle
1. Push the rear handle fully
onto tube aligning the
internal prongs.
2. Screw tight with
the assembly nut.
Fitting Auxiliary Handle
1. Place the Auxiliary Handle onto
the mounting attachment.
2. Pass the bolt through the auxiliary handle and screw the lever to the end
of the bolt.
3. Select the most comfortable
position and close the lever
to lock the auxiliary handle in
position.

2. TENSIONING THE CHAIN
Note: The Lock Button will “CLICK” back to the left (original position) when
the pruner head is correctly secured in place.
3 - 4mm gap is
the ideal tension
Fitting Pruner Head
1. Align the pruner head and
the motor head so the
arrows on both coincide.
2. (a) Press the pruner head
against the motor head.
This will cause the lock
button to be pushed to the
right.
(b) Turn the pruner head
clockwise. The pruner head
will lock onto the motor
head and is then secured
in place.

Note: Only tighten the chain cover locking knob securely once the chain
tension has been adjusted (see: Tensioning the chain.)
CAUTION: THE CHAIN HAS SHARP EDGES. FOR YOUR
OWN SAFETY, PLEASE WEAR WORK GLOVES.
IMPORTANT: IF THE CHAIN IS INSTALLED BACKWARDS
(CHAIN CUTTERS ARE FACING IN THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION OF ROTATION) THE POLE PRUNER WILL
VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY AND NOT CUT.
Fitting Guide Bar & Chain
1. Loosen the
chain cover
lock and
remove the
side cover.
2. Place the chain in the groove
of the guide bar as shown.
Refer to the image printed on
the guide bar that indicates
the direction that the chain
should face.
Sprocket
3. Place onto the mount,
ensuring that the chain sits
around the chain sprocket.
4 Re-mount and nger-tighten
the side cover with the chain
cover lock.
1. Loosen the chain
cover lock. Do not
remove the side
cover.
CAUTION: IF YOU TRY TO ROTATE THE CHAIN TENSIONING
ADJUSTMENT DIAL WHILST THE CHAIN COVER LOCK IS
TIGHT, IT WILL RESULT IN THE CHAIN NOT LOOSENING
AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE MECHANISM.
2. Adjust the chain tension with
the chain tensioning adjustment
dial. Turning the dial CLOCKWISE
increases the chain tension,
turning it COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
decreases the chain tension.
For the correct chain tension, rmly
pull up on the chain at the middle
of the top of the exposed guide bar.
When the chain is pulled up to its
highest point, the bottom tip of the
links should only just stay in the track
[middle of the guide bar]
CAUTION: THE CHAIN HAS SHARP EDGES. FOR YOUR
OWN SAFETY, PLEASE WEAR WORK GLOVES.
3. After the chain has been
accurately tensioned, lock the
guide bar in place with the
chain cover locking knob.
Note: Proper tension of the chain is extremely important and must be
checked before starting, as well as during any cutting operation.
Taking the time to make adjustments to the chain will result in
improved cutting performance and prolonged chain life.

3. OIL 4. PREPARATION
Adjusting the Rear Handle

handle releases, one
each side and adjust
the angle of the handle
up or down to any of 4
positions.
Note: The locking and unlocking
directions are indicated on
the locking collar.
3. To lock in the desired position, twist the telescopic tube lock in a counter-
clockwise direction.

APLICATIONS
•Limbing is the process of removing
the branches from a fallen tree.
Check the direction in which a branch
will bend before cutting it. Always
cut on the opposite side to the
bending direction so that the guide
bar is not pinched in the cut. For
large limbs that cannot be removed in one cut, make an initial cut from
the bent side and nish by sawing from the opposite direction. Do not
remove limbs that are supporting the fallen tree on the ground until the
tree has been cut into lengths.

Pruning
•Pruning is the removal of a limb or
branch from a standing tree.
WARNING!:IF THE CHAIN COMES IN CONTACT WITH
A HARD OBJECT, VISUALLY INSPECT THE CHAIN
& BAR FOR DAMAGE. IF THE CHAIN OR BAR IS
DAMAGED, DO NOT CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE
POLE PRUNER.

Limbing
WARNING!: NEVER USE THE POLE PRUNER WHEN
STANDING ON A LADDER OR UNEVEN GROUND. DO
NOT OVERREACH. ALWAYS USE BOTH HANDS TO
HOLD THE POLE PRUNER.
CAUTION: ALWAYS USE THE BUCKING SPIKES WHEN
PERFORMING CUTS WITH THE POLE PRUNER TO AVOID
KICKBACK (REFER TO OPERATION SECTION OF MANUAL).
CAUTION: ENSURE APPROPRIATE CARE IS TAKEN WHEN
CUTTING ABOVE SHOULDER HEIGHT.
Sawing Techniques
•When removing branches, hold
the pruner at an angle ranging
from a maximum 60° to horizontal
in order to avoid being struck by a
falling branch.
•At the end of the cut, the
weight of the pruner suddenly
increases for the user, because
it is no longer supported on
the branch. There is the risk of
losing control of the pruner.
•Saw off the lower branches on the
tree rst. By doing so, it is easier
for the cut branches to fall to the
ground.
•Only pull the pruner out of the
cut with the chain running. By
doing so, you can prevent it
from getting jammed.
•Do not saw with the tip of the
guide bar. This could lead to
kick back and possible injury.

Keep your distance.
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
at le.
Chain Sharpening
Chain File: 3.96mm (5/32”)
Chain Pitch: 9.53mm (3/8”)
Chain Gauge: 1.3mm (0.050”)
Sharpen the chain regularly to maintain
optimum performance of the saw. 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 le. Keep the le level with
the top plate of the tooth. Always use outward strokes and maintain a 30° angle
between the chain and le. 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.

We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery pack to ensure that
we supply you with batteries which feature maximum power density, durability and
safety. The battery cells have a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is
initially formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded. These data
are then used exclusively to be able to assemble the best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be exercised when
handling batteries. The following points must be obeyed at all times to ensure
safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect
handling can cause cell damage.
Important: Analyses con rm that incorrect use and poor care are the main causes
of the damage caused by high performance batteries.
