The equipment was delivered in its original packaging and also, as already in the hedge trimmer, the packaging had to be torn up, otherwise an excessive strain on the already carried out by the items power cord is to be feared. Of course you can try the device even as the package to snatch me it was too fiddly. The pruner is delivered pre-assembled and must largely be put together only a few simple steps and fixed with plastic throws. During assembly you should pay attention the release components correctly, here I initially had some difficulties. The instructions might be a little more detail here. The protruding cog need for joining the bars are slightly pushed in and are then pushed together. Included is a vial of oil, which fills the tank about half. Processing general I like that, it wobbles nothing and it bends and nothing is quite important especially when fully extended boom due to the impact forces and stresses. Good solution in which pruners is sufficiently long plug for the power supply.
After assembling and filling it then went straight to the cutting of the first branches. The saw eats without much trouble by thicker branches (diameter about 10-15cm). As described by the pros reviewers oiling the machine in cutting operation quite decent, but this is still just ok because good lubrication is important for the chain and also for cooling / cleaning. The supplied stock of oil, however, is consumed very quickly. Currently I befülle therefore the pruners with organic chain oil Dolmar. Here is a reference on the use of bio-oil: To avoid gumming of the tank and the pump during prolonged storage period, before storing fill again with some normal oil and let idle in operation.
The maintenance of high-button is also done quickly. If you have to re-tension the chain again, just as described in the instructions the mother slacken and tighten. Some complain that it is better elsewhere solved and not professional etc etc. Considering, however, carry out the price of the device and the actual cost of this re-tensioning, I can only say: well resolved, good enough for me from. Solving the nut completely and decreases the plastic cover, you can also easily clean the remaining track-and pieces of wood that still cling to the oil out brush, or -DO.
Something unpleasant occurred to me that for the storage of high-button still pretty much runs off the lubrication. Here you should or a similar location cardboard inferior, then that's no problem.
So far, I'm with the pruners of Ryobi but very happy, he does what he is, bringing it even with sufficient power. Minor criticisms I had described above, but generally these are only small things. Quality, finish and price / performance ratio vote. I would recommend this device every ambitious amateur gardeners with some trees on the property without restriction.
