Installation Guide

What are the features of my GARDENA Tree Lopper?
Tree Lopper 160 BL/ StarCut 160 plus, Art. No. 8780/ 12000 Weight: 890 g
Shaft made from powder-coated aluminium Blade made from tempered steel,
non-stick-coated (PTFE). Tree Lopper 410 BL/ StarCut 410 plus, Art. No.
8782/ 12001 Weight: 1900 g Telescopic pipe coated on the outside with
plastic (PP) Telescopic pipe aluminium inside Blade made from tempered
steel, non-stick-coated (PTFE). Both models: Ball-bearing mounted blades
Gear ratio 1:15 Continuously lubricated maintenance-free gearbox 2-edged
blade Handle, tension band and wire cable cannot be changed because the
shaft is riveted. Carrying sling can be hung up during transportation (having
closed the blade)
Why are there different blade shapes at the GARDENA hedge clippers
and secateurs?
The blade shapes are adapted to the applications. Straight edge: ideal design
for topiary. On the other hand the serrated edge/ridged edges: these are ideal
for larger areas.
When should I use bypass shears and when should I use anvil shears?
Bypass shears: used for young, green plants => seamless and precision
cutting. Anvil shears: for hard, dry wood => the anvil supports the branch and
prevents damage to the bark.
Why can’t I purchase the attachment units separately for the small
GARDENA combisystem units?
With small combisystem units, the handles can be removed so that a
combisystem small unit extension handle, a combisystem telescopic handle
100 or another combisystem handle can be fitted to the small unit if required.
Taking cost into account and the service life of this equipment, the small units
without handles are not offered as spare parts (exception: GARDENA
pointer).
