ing maintenance regularly.
For safe and proper working, always keep the garden product
and the ventilation slots clean.
Regulary check the pole pruner or obvious defects such as

If the pole pruner should fail despite the care taken in manu-
facture and testing, repair should be carried out by an autho-
rised customer services agent for Bosch power tools.
Note: Before returning the pole pruner, ensure all oil in the oil
reservoir has been emptied.
In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always
include the 10-digit article number given on the type plate of
the garden product.
Replacing/Changing the Saw Chain and Chain Bar
Check the saw chain and chain bar according to section Ten-
sion saw chain.
The circular groove of the chain bar will wear particularly on
the lower edge with time. When replacing the saw chain, turn
the chain bar by 180° to allow even wear, thus extending
chain bar life.
Check the drive sprocket . If it is worn out or damaged due to
strain, have it exchanged by an authorized Bosch after-sales
service.
Sharpening the Saw Chain
Have your chain sharpened professionally at your authorized
Bosch after-sales service or sharpen the chain yourself using
the Bosch sharpening kit or the Dremel Multi power tool with
the appropriate grinder (1453). Observe the sharpening in-
structions provided with the sharpening kit.
Checking the Automatic Oiler
Proper functioning of the automatic saw chain oiler can be
checked by running the pole pruner and pointing the tip of the
chain bar towards a piece of cardboard or paper on the
ground. Do not touch the ground with the chain and ensure a
safety clearance of 20 cm. If an increasing oil pattern devel-
opes, the automatic oiler is operating fine. If there is no oil
pattern despite a full oil reservoir, see section Troubleshoot-
ing or contact your authorized Bosch after-sales service.

After Use/Storage

Clean the moulded plastic housing of the pole pruner using a soft
brush and clean cloth. Do not use water, solvents or polishes. Re-
move all debris, especially from the motor cooling vents.
After 1 – 3 hours of use, remove the cover , the chain bar and
the saw chain , and clean them using a brush.
Clean the area under the cover , the drive sprocket and the
chain bar assembly from adherant debris using a brush. Clean
the oil outlet with a clean cloth.
If the pole pruner is to be stored for a longer period of time,
clean the saw chain and the chain bar.
Store the pole pruner in a secure, dry place, out of the reach
of children.
Do not place other objects on the garden tool.
Please take care to place down the pole pruner with the oil fill-
er cap facing upward.
When storing in the sales packaging, the oil reservoir must be
completely emptied.
