FAQs

What is the maximum cutting diameter of this pruner?

The cutting capacity depends on the wood type, but it is generally designed for branches up to 8-10 cm in diameter. Always refer to the user manual for specific limitations.

How long does the 2.5Ah battery typically last?

Battery runtime varies based on usage intensity and branch thickness. A fully charged 2.5Ah battery can typically provide around 50-100 cuts on average thickness branches, but this is an estimate and actual performance may differ.

Do I need to manually oil the chain?

No, the pruner features an automatic chain lubrication system. You only need to ensure the oil reservoir is kept filled.

Can I use other brands' 18V batteries with this tool?

This tool is part of the Bosch POWER FOR ALL ALLIANCE. You can use any 18V battery from Bosch or other brands that are part of this alliance.

How do I maintain the saw chain?

Regularly check the chain tension. Keep the chain clean and sharp for optimal performance. Ensure the chain is adequately lubricated by keeping the oil reservoir full.

Is this tool suitable for professional use?

The UniversalChainPole 18 is designed for home and garden use. For heavy-duty, continuous professional applications, a more robust model might be recommended.

What is included in the box?

The box typically contains the telescopic pruner unit, a 2.5Ah battery kit, 60 ml of chainsaw oil, and one 20 cm saw chain.

Troubleshooting

Chain not cutting effectively or moving slowly.

Check the chain oil level and refill if necessary. Ensure the chain is properly tensioned and sharp. Clean any debris from the chain and bar.

Tool stops unexpectedly.

The battery may be depleted; recharge it. Check for any obstructions in the cutting area or on the chain. The tool may have overheated; allow it to cool down before resuming use.

Telescopic pole is difficult to extend or retract.

Ensure the locking mechanism is fully released. Check for any dirt or debris that might be obstructing the pole. Gently clean the pole sections if necessary.

Battery not charging.

Ensure the battery is correctly seated in the charger. Check if the charger is plugged into a working power outlet. Clean the battery and charger contacts.
