Notes on Operation

– before carrying out inspections,

adjustments or cleaning work

– when working on the cutting

attachment

– leaving the machine unattended

– before transporting the machine

– before storing the machine

– before performing repairs or

maintenance work

– in the event of danger or in an

emergency

This avoids the risk of the motor starting

unintentionally.

Before Starting Work

Check that your power tool is properly

assembled and in good condition – refer

to appropriate chapters in the instruction

manual.

– Correctly mounted guide bar

– Correctly tensioned chain

– The trigger switch and trigger

lockout must move freely (retaining

latch to ‚) – switches must return to

the idle position when they are

released.

– Trigger is locked in position when

trigger lockout is not depressed.

– Never attempt to modify the controls

or safety devices in any way.

– Keep the handles dry and clean –

free from oil and dirt – for safe

control of the power tool.

– Inspect the power tool for damage

or wear. Always replace damaged

parts.

– Check contacts in battery

compartment for foreign matter.

– Fit the battery correctly – it must

engage audibly.

– Never use defective or deformed

batteries.

To reduce the risk of accidents, do not

operate your power tool if it is not

properly assembled and in good

condition.

If you use a shoulder strap or full

harness: Practice removing and putting

down the machine as you would in an

emergency. To avoid damage, do not

throw the machine to the ground when

practicing.

Switching on the machine

Place the unit on a firm surface. Make

sure you have good balance and secure

footing. Hold the unit securely. The

chain must be clear of the ground and all

other obstructions.

Your power tool is designed to be

operated by one person only. Do not

allow other persons in the work area.

Do not switch on the power tool when

the saw chain is in a cut.

During Operation

Make sure you always have good

balance and secure footing.

In case of imminent danger or in an

emergency, switch off the power tool

immediately, move retaining latch to ƒ

and remove the battery.

Remove the battery from

the power tool:

HTA 65, HTA 85

Your power tool is equipped with a

system designed to quickly stop the saw

chain – it comes to an immediate

standstill as soon as you release the

trigger switch.

Check this function at regular short

intervals. Do not operate your unit if the

chain continues to run after you release

the trigger switch – see "Coasting Brake"

– risk of injury. Contact your servicing

dealer.

Your power tool is designed to be

operated by one person only. Do not

allow other persons in the work area.

Hold your electric power tool only by the

insulated grip surfaces because the saw

chain may contact hidden electrical

wires. Saw chains which touch a live

wire make metallic parts of an electric

power tool live and could give the user

an electric shock.

To reduce the risk of injury from falling

objects and thrown pieces of wood, do

not allow any other persons within a

radius of 15 meters of your own position.

To reduce the risk of damage to

property, also maintain this distance

from other objects (vehicles, windows).

Maintain a minimum clearance of

15 meters between the bar nose and

electric power lines. Electricity can jump

considerable distances by means of

arcing. Higher voltage increases the

distance electricity can arc. Have the

power switched off before starting

cutting work in the immediate vicinity of

power lines.

This power tool may be used in the rain

and wet. Dry off your power tool after

finishing work.

Take special care in slippery conditions

– damp, snow, ice, on slopes, uneven

ground and freshly debarked logs.

Watch out for obstacles such as tree

stumps, roots and ditches which could

cause you to trip or stumble.

Do not work alone – keep within calling

distance of others in case help is

needed.

Be particularly alert and cautious when

wearing hearing protection because

your ability to hear warnings (shouts,

alarms, etc.) is restricted.

To reduce the risk of accidents, take a

break in good time to avoid tiredness or

exhaustion.

Work calmly and carefully – in daylight

conditions and only when visibility is

good. Stay alert so as not to endanger

others.

The dusts (e.g. sawdust) produced

during operation may be dangerous to

health. If dust levels are very high, wear

a suitable respirator.

To reduce the risk of fire, do not smoke

while operating or standing near your

power tool.

Check the saw chain at regular short

intervals during operation or

immediately if there is a noticeable

change in cutting behavior:

– Switch off the power tool, wait for

the chain to come to a standstill,

remove the battery.

– Check condition and proper

mounting.

– Check sharpness.

Do not touch the chain while the power

tool is switched on. If the chain becomes

jammed by an obstruction, switch off the

power tool immediately – then remove

the obstruction – risk of injury.

Before leaving the power tool

unattended: Switch off the power tool,

move retaining latch to ƒ and remove

the battery.

To replace the saw chain, switch off the

power tool, move retaining latch to ƒ

and remove the battery. This avoids the

risk of injury from the motor starting

unintentionally.

If your power tool is subjected to

unusually high loads for which it was not

designed (e.g. heavy impact or a fall),

always check that it is in good condition

before continuing work – see also

"Before Starting Work". Make sure the

safety devices are working properly. Do

not continue operating your power tool if

it is damaged. In case of doubt, consult

your servicing dealer.

When working at heights:

– Always use a lift bucket

– Never work on a ladder or in a tree

– Never work on an insecure support

– Never operate your power tool with

one hand

After Finishing Work

Always clean dust and dirt off the power

tool – do not use any grease solvents for

this purpose.

Holding and Controlling the Power Tool

Always hold your power tool firmly with

both hands: Right hand on control

handle, left hand on drive tube, even if

you are left-handed.

To ensure safe control, wrap your

fingers tightly around the control handle.

Limbing

Hold the pole saw at an angle. Do not

stand directly underneath the limb being

cut. Do not exceed an angle of 60° from

the horizontal. Watch for falling wood.

Keep the work area clear – remove

interfering limbs and brush.

Before limbing, establish a path of

escape and remove all obstacles.

Position the cutting attachment with the

hook against the branch and then

perform the cross-cut. This reduces the

risk of the pole saw being jerked forward

as you start the cross-cut.

Always cut with a correctly sharpened,

properly tensioned chain – the depth

gauge setting must not be too large.

Perform cross-cut from the top

downward to avoid the chain pinching in

the cut.

If branch is thick or heavy, make a

relieving cut – see chapter on "Using the

Pole Pruner".

To reduce the risk of injury, take special

care when cutting branches under

tension. Always make a relieving cut on

the compression side first and then

perform the bucking cut at the tension

side.

To reduce the risk of injury, take special

care when cutting shattered wood

because of the risk of injury from slivers

being caught and thrown in your

direction.

If on a slope, stand on the uphill side or

to one side of the branch to be cut.

Watch out for rolling branches.

Note when reaching the end of a cut that

the machine is no longer supported by

the guide bar in the cut. You have to take

the full weight of the machine since it

might otherwise go out of control.

Always pull the machine out of the cut

with the chain running.

Make sure your saw chain does not

touch any foreign materials: Stones,

nails, etc. may be flung off and damage

the saw chain.

If the rotating chain makes contact with

a rock or other solid object there is a risk

of sparking which may cause easily

combustible material to catch fire under

certain circumstances. Dry plants and

scrub are also easily combustible,

especially in hot and dry weather

conditions. If there is a risk of fire, do not

use your pole pruner near combustible

materials, dry plants or scrub. Always

contact your local forest authority for

information on a possible fire risk.

Vibrations

This power tool minimizes the vibrations

transmitted to the operator's hands.

However, the operator should seek

medical advice in the event of suspected

circulatory problems in the hands (e.g.

tingling sensation in the fingers).

Maintenance and Repairs

Always move the retaining latch to ƒ

and remove the battery before carrying

out any repairs or maintenance work on

the power tool. This avoids the risk of the

motor starting unintentionally.

Service the machine regularly. Do not

attempt any maintenance or repair work

not described in the instruction manual.

Have all other work performed by a

servicing dealer.

STIHL recommends that you have

servicing and repair work carried out

exclusively by an authorized STIHL

servicing dealer. STIHL dealers are

regularly given the opportunity to attend

training courses and are supplied with

the necessary technical information.

Only use high-quality replacement parts

in order to avoid the risk of accidents

and damage to the unit. If you have any

questions in this respect, consult a

servicing dealer.

STIHL recommends the use of genuine

STIHL replacement parts. They are

specifically designed to match your

model and meet your performance

requirements.

Never attempt to modify your power tool

in any way since this will increase the

risk of personal injury.

Regularly check the electrical contacts

and ensure that the insulation of the

connecting cord and plug of the charger

is in good condition and shows no sign

of ageing (brittleness).

Electrical components, e.g. connecting

cord of charger, may only be repaired or

replaced by a qualified electrician.

Observe sharpening instructions – keep

the chain and guide bar in good

condition at all times for safe and correct

handling of the machine. The chain must

be properly sharpened, tensioned and

well lubricated.

Always change the chain, guide bar and

sprocket in good time.

Store chain lubricant in properly

labelled, safety-type canisters only.

Clean plastic surfaces with a cloth. Do

not use aggressive detergents. They

may damage the plastic.

Clean cooling air inlets in motor housing

as necessary.

Keep the battery guides free from

foreign matter – clean as necessary.

Store the machine in a dry, locked

location with the retaining latch on ƒ

and the battery removed.

Preparations

N Wear suitable protective clothing,

observe safety precautions.

N Adjust the telescoping shaft to the

required length (version with

telescoping shaft).

N Put on the shoulder strap.

Cutting Sequence

To allow branches to free fall, always cut

the lower branches first. Prune heavy

branches (large diameter) in several

controllable pieces.

WARNING

Never stand directly 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

– risk of injury.

Disposal

Do not throw cuttings into the garbage

can – they can be composted.

Working Technique

Right hand on control handle, left hand

on the shaft with your arm slightly bent in

a comfortable position.

Always hold the shaft with your left hand

in the area of the handle hose.

The shaft should always be held at an

angle of 60° or less.

The least tiring working position is a tool

angle of 60°.

Any lesser angle may be used to suit the

situation.

Cross-cut

To avoid pinching the bar in the cut,

position the cutting attachment with the

hook against the branch and then

perform the cross-cut from the top

downwards.

Relieving cut

To avoid tearing the bark on thick

branches, always start by performing a

relieving cut (1) on the underside of the

branch.

N To do this, apply the cutting

attachment and pull it across the

bottom of the branch in an arc as far

as the bar nose.

N Perform the cross-cut (2) – position

the bar with the hook against the

branch and then perform the cross-

cut.

Flush-cutting thick branches

If branch diameter is more than 10 cm,

first

N perform undercut (3) and then

cross-cut at a distance of about 20

cm (A) from the final cut. Then carry

out the flush-cut (4), starting with a

relieving cut and finishing with a

cross-cut.

Cutting above obstacles

The machine's long reach makes it

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 from a lift bucket

The machine's long reach enables

cutting to be performed next to the trunk

without the risk of the lift bucket

damaging other branches. The tool

angle in this case depends on the

position of the branch.

A cutting attachment consists of the saw

chain, guide bar and chain sprocket.

The cutting attachment that comes

standard is designed to exactly match

the pole pruner.

– The pitch (t) of the saw chain (1),

chain sprocket and the nose

sprocket of the Rollomatic guide bar

must match.

– The drive link gauge (2) of the saw

chain (1) must match the groove

width of the guide bar (3).

If non-matching components are used,

the cutting attachment may be damaged

beyond repair after a short period of

operation.

For automatic and reliable lubrication of

the chain and guide bar – use only an

environmentally compatible quality

chain and bar lubricant. Rapidly

biodegradable STIHL BioPlus is

recommended.

NOTICE

Biological chain oil must be resistant to

aging (e.g. STIHL BioPlus), since it will

otherwise quickly turn to resin. This

results in hard deposits that are difficult

to remove, especially in the area of the

chain drive and chain. It may even cause

the oil pump to seize.

The service life of the chain and guide

bar depends on the quality of the

lubricant. It is therefore essential to use

only a specially formulated chain

lubricant.

WARNING

Do not use waste oil. Renewed contact

with waste oil can cause skin cancer.

Moreover, waste oil is environmentally

harmful.

NOTICE

Waste oil does not have the necessary

lubricating properties and is unsuitable

for chain lubrication.

N Check the oil level in the tank before

starting work, during operation and

every time you change the battery,

or when otherwise necessary.

N Refill the chain oil tank after

changing the battery for the second

time at the latest.

If the oil level in the tank does not go

down, the reason may be a problem in

the oil supply system: Check chain

lubrication, clean the oilways, contact

your dealer for assistance if necessary.

STIHL recommends that you have

servicing and repair work carried out

exclusively by an authorized STIHL

servicing dealer.

Oil filler cap

N Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap

and the area around it to ensure that

no dirt falls into the tank.

N Position the machine so that the

tank cap faces up.

Opening

N Raise the grip until it is upright.

N Turn the cap counterclockwise

Power supply (mains) voltage and

operating voltage must be the same.

N Insert the plug (1) in the wall

outlet (2).

A self test is performed after the charger

is connected to the power supply. During

this process, the light emitting diode (1)

on the charger lights up green for about

1 second, then red and goes off again.

A factory-new battery is not fully

charged.

Recommendation: Fully charge the

battery before using it for the first time.

N Connect the charger to the power

supply – mains voltage and

operating voltage of the charger

must be the same – see

"Connecting Charger to Power

Supply".

Operate the charger only in enclosed

and dry rooms at ambient temperatures

between +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to

+104°F)

Only charge dry batteries. Allow a damp

battery to dry before charging.

N Push the battery (1) into the

charger (2) until noticeable

resistance is felt – then push it as far

as stop.

The LED (3) on the charger comes on

when the battery is inserted – see "LED

on Charger"

Charging begins as soon as the

LEDs (4) on the battery glow green –

see "LEDs on Battery".

The charge time is dependent on a

number of factors, including battery

condition, ambient temperature, etc.,

and may therefore vary from the times

specified.

The battery heats up during operation in

the power tool. If a hot battery is inserted

in the charger, it may be necessary to

cool it down before charging. The

charging process begins only after the

battery has cooled down. The time

required for cooling may prolong the

charge time.

The battery and charger heat up during

the charging process.

ambient air.

End of Charge

The charger switches itself off

automatically when the battery is fully

charged:

– LEDs on the battery go off.

– The LED on the charger goes off.

– The charger's fan is switched off (if

charger is so equipped)

Remove the fully charged battery from

the charger.

Four LEDs show the battery's state of

charge and any problems that occur in

the battery or machine.

N Press button (1) to activate the

display – the display goes off

automatically after 5 seconds.

The LEDs can glow or flash green or

red.

During charging

The LEDs glow continuously or flash to

indicate the progress of charge.

A green flashing LED indicates the

capacity that is currently being charged.

The LEDs on the battery go off

automatically when the charge process

is completed.

If the LEDs on the battery flash or glow

red – see "If the red LEDs glow

continuously / flash".
