ADJUSTING THE CUTTING HEAD (Fig. 15)
For correct use, the cutting head can be set to the
desired position by pressing the adjustment button (8
adjustments).
USING THE POLE PRUNER (Fig. 16)
Never use the device at an angle of more than 60°. The
pole pruner does work over 60° but there is an increased
risk of injury due to branches falling suddenly.
When using the device, also take note of the surface
around you. This can stop you from tripping over branch-
es that are lying around.
Never use the saw without oil. Only use biodegradable
chainsaw oil.
Never use the pole pruner without checking the tension
of the chain.
To operate the device, press the release button and then
actuate the switch.
CUTTING TIPS FOR THE POLE PRUNER
The pole pruner is uses a chain with a low kickback. Fur-
thermore, when constructing the device, care was taken
to keep the kickback risk as low as possible. Despite this,
a minor kickback is unavoidable when using the upper
saw bar. Be prepared for a kickback moment if you are
using this side of the bar or if you touch another branch
with the top side of the bar.
Always hold the device firmly with both hands.
Thin branches can be cut through in one cut.
To prevent a branch splitting and snapping, it should be
cut off in several parts.
When sawing long branches off, first saw into the branch
from below and to the outside of the desired sawing point.
The cut should be between a third and half of the thick-
ness of the branch. This prevents the branch snapping off
when you saw the branch from above further away from
the trunk. Finally, cut the stump off using a straight cut. If
necessary, seal the cutting point.
CUTTING TIPS FOR THE HEDGE TRIMMER (Fig. 17)
1. Stand in a safe place, hold the edge trimmer with both
hands and switch it on.
2. Cut both sides of the hedge, starting with the bottom
so that the pieces that have been cut do not fall in the
area that is still to be cut.
3. Run the blade lightly over the surface of the hedge. Do
not attempt to cut too deeply.
4. Only cut the tips of the hedge.
5. Do not attempt to cut branches or twigs that are thicker
than 18 mm.
LUBRICATING THE BLADE DURING USE (Fig. 18)
(for Hedge Trimmer ITHS 800)
If the cutter overheats, the interior surfaces of the blade
must be lubricated.
This procedure may only be carried out when the motor is
switched off and the blade has come to a stop.

MAINTAINING AND SHARPENING THE BLADE
(for Hedge Trimmer ITHS 800)
The blade spacing does not have to be set, this tolerance
is pre-set in the factory.
If the blades are used in accordance with the instructions,
no maintenance or sharpening is required.
Re-sharpening is only necessary if the cutting perfor-
mance deteriorates and branches often become entan-
gled.
OILING THE CHAIN (for Pole pruner ITKS 800)
The saw chain must be oiled before use and after clean-
ing. Only use chainsaw oil.
- Oil the entire saw chain evenly.
