- Check the chain tension. The tension is correct when
the drive links do not slip out of the chain guides if you
hold the chain in the middle of the bar.
- Using a screwdriver, make the chain run along the
guides to check it moves smoothly without resistance.

ATTACHING THE PRUNER

- Pull out the stop pin (1) and push the rod (2) right down
until the stop pin (1) clicks into the hole (3) in the rod.
This is easier to do if you rotate the bottom of the rod
(2) slightly in both directions.
- The pin (1) is in place when it is completely lodged in
the hole.
- Once inserted, tighten the knob (4) securely.

SETTING AT WORK

Before starting work please:
- fill the relevant tank with oil;
- check that all the screws on the machine and the bar
are tightly fastened;
- check that the chain is sharp and there are no signs
of any damage;
- check that handgrips and protection devices are clean
and dry, correctly mounted and well fastened to the
machine;
- check that the handgrips are well fastened;
- check the chain tension.

Checking the oil delivery

WARNING! Make sure the bar and the chain are
in place when you check the oil delivery.
Start the engine, keep it running at medium power and
check if the chain oil is delivered as shown in the figure.
You can adjust the chain oil flow using a screwdriver on
the adjuster screw of the oiler, which is on the bottom of
the machine.

USING THE POLE PRUNER

Directions for use
- When starting the motor make sure the chain is NOT
resting on the ground and does not come into contact
with foreign bodies; for this purpose, position the rod
appropriately.
- Follow the instructions supplied with the brush cutter
to start the motor.
- Prune by making a first cut from below on the part to
be cut, then cut from above, to avoid barking and dam-
age to the plant.
- When pruning operate outside the area in which cut
material falls.
- Never bring the cutting blades close to body parts
while working.
- Always fit the bar guard when the device is switched off.
Cutting sequence
To allow branches a free fall, always cut the lower branch-
es first. Prune heavy branches (large diameter) in several
controllable pieces.
