Continuous Lighting of the Battery Charge
Indicator
Continuous lighting of the battery charge
indicator indicates that the battery is fully
charged or that the temperature of the battery is not within
the allowable charging temperature range, and cannot be
charged for this reason. The battery is charged as soon as the
allowable charging temperature range is reached.
When the battery is not inserted, continuous lighting of the
battery charge indicator indicates that the mains plug is
inserted in the socket and that the battery charger is ready for
operation.

Charging Advice
With continuous or several repetitive charging cycles without
interruption, the charger can warm up. This does not indicate
a technical defect of the battery charger.
A significantly reduced working period after charging
indicates that the battery is used and must be replaced.

Assembly

 Before any work on the machine itself (e. g.
maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during
transport and storage, remove the battery from the
power tool. There is danger of injury when unintentionally
actuating the On/Off switch with the locking button.
Tool assembly (see figure C+E)
Fit the pole pruner head together with the telescopic handle,
tighten them together with the connector 6 by twisting it.
Make sure that both parts are properly fitted.
Bosch Power Tools
Attach the harness 11 to the harness loops 10/13 located in
the handling areas. Please notice that the harness has two
hooks that are different in size. Make sure that the bigger
hook 20 is fitted onto the main handle harness loop 13 and
the smaller hook 19 onto the front handle harness loop 10.
Remove the saw chain cover.
Adjusting the telescopic height (see figure F)
Loosen the telescopic height adjustment joint 8 by rotating,
extend the telescopic tube 7 to the required length and re-
tighten the adjustment joint 8 by twisting.
The telescopic tube 7 can be extended from 2.1 m to 2.60 m
depending on the application.
Adjusting the pivoting head (see figure H)
Press two pivoting head adjustment buttons 4
simultaneously, adjust the pivoting head to the required
position by moving the pruner head upwards or downwards,
release the pivoting head adjustment buttons 4 and make
sure that the pruner head is properly locked.
Pivoting head can be adjusted to 9 different positions.
Tensioning the saw chain (see figure J)
Always check the chain tension before use, after the first cuts
and regularly during use approx. every 10 minutes. Upon
initial operation, new chains can lengthen considerably.
Always tension the chain when it is cold. Tensioning when it is
hot can result in over tensioning.
– The saw chain 1 is correctly tensioned when it can be
raised approx. 2–3 mm from the chain bar in the centre.
This should be done by using one hand to raise the saw
chain against the weight of the machine.
– Turn the chain tensioning screw 5 with the hex key
clockwise (increase tension) or anticlockwise (decrease
tension) to adjust the tension.
Saw chain lubrication (see figure I)
Note: The pole pruner is not supplied filled with oil. It is
essential to fill with oil before use. Operating the pole pruner
without chain oil or when the oil level is below the minimum
mark will result in damage to the saw chain.
Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum
lubrication. Therefore, the saw chain is automatically
lubricated with chain oil during operation.
Filling the oil reservoir:
– Set pole pruner on any suitable flat surface with the oil filler
cap 3 facing upward.
– Clean area around the oil filler cap 3 with a cloth and
unscrew the cap.
– Add Bosch biodegradable chainsaw oil until reservoir is
full. Use of non approved oil may impair the performance
of the oiling system.
– Oil becomes denser at lower temperatures which
decreases the flow rate of oil.
– Avoid dirt or debris from entering the oil reservoir.
