Vibration and cold
It is believed that a condition called Raynaud's Phenome-
non which affects the fingers of certain individuals may be
brought about by exposure to vibration and cold. Expo-
sure to vibration and cold may cause tingling and burning,
followed by loss of colour and numbness in the fingers.
The following precautions are strongly recommended be-
cause the minimum exposure which might trigger the ail-
ment is unknown.
Keep your body warm, especially the head and neck,
feet and ankles, and hands and wrists.
Maintain good blood circulation by performing vigorous
arm exercises during frequent work breaks, and also by
not smoking.
Limit the number of hours of operation.

mer or other hand-held power equipment is not re-
quired.
If you experience discomfort redness and swelling of
the fingers, followed by whitening and loss of feeling,
consult your physician before exposing yourself further
to cold and vibration.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in damage
to your health.
Repetitive stress injuries
It is believed that over-using the muscles and tendons of
the fingers, hands, arms and shoulders may cause sore-
ness, swelling, numbness, weakness and extreme pain to
the areas just mentioned. Certain repetitive hand activities
may put you at a high risk for developing a repetitive
stress injury (RSI).
To reduce the risk of RSI, do the following:
Avoid using your wrist in a bent, extended or twisted
position.
Take periodic breaks to minimize repetition and rest
your hands. Reduce the speed and force in which you
do the repetitive movement.
Do exercises to strengthen hand and arm muscles.
See a doctor if you feel tingling, numbness or pain in
your fingers, hands, wrists or arms. The sooner RSI is
diagnosed, the more likely permanent nerve and muscle
damage can be prevented.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in damage
to your health.

1. Chain tensioning screw
1. Oil filler cap
WARNING
Never fill the oil reservoir or adjust the oiler with the en-
gine running.
NOTE
The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient to provide about 40
minutes of cutting time (when set to deliver the minimum flow
rate, or about as long as you'll get from a tank of fuel).
1. Oil reservoir 2. Oil flow adjusting screw
CAUTION
An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consump-
tion, requiring more frequent checks on the oil reser-
voir. To ensure sufficient lubrication, It may be
necessary to check the oil level more frequently than at
fuel tank refills.
14
Before you start
The pump is set at the factory to deliver a minimum flow rate, but
it can be adjusted in the field. A temporary increase in oil flow is
often desirable when cutting things like hardwood or wood with a
lot of pitch.

Operation
Operation
Preparations
Check unit for loose/missing nuts, bolts and screws. Tight-
en and/or replace as needed.
Choose the best work position for safety against the falling
object (Branch etc)
Start the engine.
Put on the strap.
Never stand underneath the branch you are cutting–be wary of
falling branches. Note that a branch may spring back at you after
it hits the ground.
Cutting Sequence
To allow branches a free fall always cut the lower branches first.
Prune heavy branches (large diameter) in several controllable
pieces.
Working Position
Hold the control handle with your right hand, and the shaft with
your left hand. Your left arm should be extended to the most com-
fortable position.
The shaft should always be held at an angle of 60° or less.
Typical applications
Standard cut(A):
The most convenient working position is a tool angel of 60°, but
any other angle may be used to suit the situation concerned.
Cutting above obstacles(B):
Thanks to the unit's long reach it is possible to prune branches
that are overhanging obstacles, such as rivers or lakes. The tool
angle in this case depends on the position of the branch.
Cutting on a work platform:
The unit's long reach enables cutting to be performed next to the
trunk without the risk of the work platform damaging other
branches. The tool angle in this case depends on the position of
the branch.
This product is designed especially for cutting branches. Never use this product for any other purposes. Never try to cut stones,
metals, plastics or any other hard objects.
Using for other purposes than cutting branches may damage the machine or cause serious injury.
WARNING
Stop the product immediately if it suddenly begins to vibrate or shake. Inspect for broken, missing or improperly
installed parts or attachments.
If a saw blade should bind fast in a cut, shut off the engine immediately. Push the branch or tree to ease the bind and
free the blade.
Before starting the engine, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
Make sure the chain cover is in place when transporting and storing the pruner.
When carrying the Multipurpose Engine with the pole pruner tool, the chain should be
pointing backward.
Never transport the pruner or set it down with the engine running. An engine that's run-
ning could be accidently accelerated causing the chain to rotate.
16
Operation
Working techniques
Relieving cut:
To avoid tearing the bark, kickback or pinching the bar when
pruning thick branches, always start by performing a relieving cut
(1) on the underside of the branch.
To do this, apply the cutting attachment and pull it across the bot-
tom of the branch as far as the bar nose. Perform the cross-cut
(2).
Flush-cutting thick branches:
If branch diameter is more than 10cm, first perform undercut (3)
and cross-cut at a distance (A) of about 25cm from the final cut.
Then carry out the flush-cut (4), starting with a relieving cut and
finishing with a cross-cut.

Daily Maintenance
10/15 Hour Maintenance
Remove the sprocket cover and inspect the sprocket for ex-
cessive dirt, debris, or wear. Remove the guide bar and clean
out the guide bar groove. If the sprocket is excessively worn,
replace it with a new one.
50-Hour Maintenance
Lubricate the gearcase
To perform this operation, first remove the gearcase from the
outer tube as follows:
1. Loosen the gearcase clamp bolt.
2. Remove the index bolt from the gearcase.
3. Slide the gearcase out of the tube.
Using a lever-type grease gun, pump lithium-base grease (about
10 grams) into the grease fitting until you see old grease being
purged from the gearcase, which can be seen in the outer tube
cavity. Clean up excess grease, then reassemble the gearcase
onto the outer tube.
Long term storage
Whenever the unit will not be used for 30 days or longer, use the
following procedures to prepare it for storage.
Clean external parts thoroughly.
Before storing the unit, repair or replace any worn or damaged
parts.

Never operate a chain saw with a dull or damaged chain.
If the chain requires excessive pressure to cut or produces dust
instead of wood chips then inspect the cutters for damage.
When sharpening the chain the objective will be to maintain the
same angles and profiles throughout its life as when it was new.
Inspect the chain for damage or wear every time you refuel your
chain saw.
1. Sharpening
In order to file the chain correctly you need: round file and file
holder, flat file and a depth gauge tool.
By using the correct file size (4.5 mm Round file) and a file
holder, it is easier to receive a good result.
Consult your dealer for correct sharpening tools and sizes.
WARNING
Switch off the engine before sharpening the chain.
Always wear gloves when working on chain.
CAUTION
The following faults will increase the risk of kickback considerably.
1)Top plate angle too large
2)Side plate angle too small
3)File diameter too small
