Product Information
Description
Standing on ladders with a chainsaw in hand is probably not the best of ideas. You need to be standing on solid ground in order to cut through branches safely and effectively. The problem is most big branches which require a chainsaw to cut through them are usually high up and out of reach.
The lightweight Eckman 750W long-reach telescopic chainsaw extends from 1.8m (5'10”) to a massive 2.7m (8'10”) allowing you to cut through most big branches without ever needing to climb a ladder making it far safer than using a ‘normal’ chainsaw.
A high quality Oregon bar and chain makes light work of 10inch (26cm) diameter branches and the fully adjustable shoulder strap and non-slip rubberised grip ensure this lightweight (3.5kg) extendable chainsaw lopper from Eckman is a breeze to use.
Features
- Specially designed padded hip brace and handle
- Fully adjustable shoulder strap
- High quality 'low kickback' 10" Oregon bar and chain
- Specially angled bar means better control over cutting
- Cut up to 10inch (26cm) diameter branches
- Extends up to 2.7m (8'10")
- Can be shortened and locked to a minimum of 1.8m (5ft 10 ¾”)
- Powerful 750W motor
- Chain speed: of 10.5 metres/second
- Minimum noise, weight and vibration - allowing you to work for longer
- CE approved
FAQs
Q: Is there a customer service phone number I can call for assistance?
A: The Eckman Customer Service number is 0844 542 0100
Q: Is there any assembly required before I can use the machine?
A: You’ll need to fit the Oregon Bar and Cutting Chain. Fitting the bar and chain should not take more than a couple of minutes and no special tools are required. The two mains things to ensure are; the chain is fitted with the cutters going in
the correct direction and; the chain is properly adjusted so it is neither too tight nor too loose. Both are comprehensively covered in the instruction manual with easy to follow pictures. A screwdriver is also provided for final tension adjustment.
The only other thing you will need to fit is the shoulder strap.
Q: What oil do I need and where can I buy it? What’s it for?
A: You’ll need to purchase a high grade oil specially designed for chainsaws. You can obtain this from all good DIY stores, garden machinery retailers or garden centres that also sell chainsaws. If you should decide to use any other kind of oil and you damage the machine (highly likely with continued operation), this will invalidate your guarantee. With the motor at full speed, the cutting chain operates at 11 metres per second. The friction between the chain and the bar creates extreme heat. The oil is needed to keep the chain properly lubricated and the heat to a minimum.
Q: How often will I need to check the chain tension?
A: A new chain will stretch so we suggest you re-check the tension after using for 10 minutes. If your first time use is considerably longer than this, re-check after every 10 minutes. After running for an hour or so, it is likely the chain has stretched to its maximum so we suggest in future you re-check the tension before and at the end of each use.
Q: How often will I need to check the oil level?
A: We can’t say exactly as this depends on how fast the engine is running. The faster the chain runs, the more oil will be used. This is automatically adjusted. The oil reservoir has a see-through window so it’s easy to keep an eye on the level when you are working.
Q: What is “kick-back” and how can I avoid it?
A: Kick-back happens when the tip or nose of the chain comes into contact with the wood and is specially noticeable if you are either not holding the machine correctly, or firmly enough. With experience, you can generally avoid kick-back even when cutting with the nose. Inexperienced users should avoid the nose coming into contact with the branch being cut and the instructions give good advice as to the correct method in cutting tree limbs.
Q: Do I need to wear a hard hat when working?
A: Just to be on the safe side, we highly recommend the use of wearing good protective clothing whilst using garden machinery. Whilst cutting high branches, if there is any possibility of the branch you are cutting falling onto your head, then it’s just sensible and good practice to wear a hard hat. Just use your common sense and definitely wear safety goggles to avoid sawdust getting into your eyes when cutting branches that are overhead.
Q: When my chain becomes blunt, can it be sharpened?
A: Yes. It’s a good idea to buy a simple chainsaw file and use it every time you use the saw. This should cost less than £5 from any good DIY store and used correctly, will keep your chain in top condition. A sharp chain means less effort and less effort means safer working. Alternatively, take the chain to any good garden machinery retailer and they will sharpen it for you

| After year's of maintaining the hedgerow at the bottom of our garden using a long handled lopper, this telescopic chainsaw has been a revelation. A job that previously took a whole weekend was done in a couple of hours. Easy to use. Yes, it is a little top heavy but that is unavoidable. All in all we are very satisfied with the product. |

| I am currently using the branch lopper to take about 30 feet off the top of a very tall conifer tree. Because of the extension it is so easy to use , large or small branches are just cut away in no time. It is also fun to use , beats using a hand saw any day. |

| This is quite a serious piece of kit and such is the chain speed it fair wizzes through branches. Beware of thicker branches pinching on the chain as you cut, you have to get your angles right. If it gets stuck its a right old fiddle to clamber up 3 metres to free it. |

Realised it would be heavy and rather unwieldy in use. Decided that for one-off or very ingrequent use assembly, dismantling and storage of chain would not be worth the effort for us.

brilliant. Would have no hesitation in ordering from you again. |

| Fantastic chainsaw, very easy to use. Just saved me a lot of money. |
| Adrian Patten, Bristol |
| PRODUCT: | |
| Bit fiddley to assemble - instructions imply to move Adjusting Block to rear of slot in plate - should make clear NOT to unscrew Adjusting Screw completely but to leave connected to Block otherwise Block is all over the place trying to reconnect! (Engineers/Mechanics may clock that but Joe Soap [ME] unscrewed it to ensure Block was to rear of Plate!) However, once assembled Chainsaw made short work of conifer branches in no time flat - now have to dispose of piles of greenery and shred the braches for bark over the garden! Best Buy for a long time and definitely VfM - less than half price for TWO days hire and can complete task at my leisure. Took a bit getting used to awkward balance when fully extended but tightening harness seem to help - haven't had so much "fun" for a long time!! My 20foot Holly tree might be a different story so wish me luck!! |

This is a smashing gadget and much more powerful and effective than I expected for the price.
Perhaps because I've assembled chainsaws before, I found the instructions easy enough to follow - though maybe a tiny bit fiddly to execute.
The only other negative point is that when fully extended it is helluva top-heavy and a bit cumbersome when you're trying to "aim" for a particular branch. It's easier the closer you can get it to vertical, but awkward when you're trying to reach something at an angle. (Please note, however, that these comments are made by a 65 yearold who ain't what he was at 25!)
I reckon that in 2 more weekends, I'll get my money back in logs.
Excellent!

Performed better than I expected, although obviously unwieldy with all the weight at one end. Made some previously impossible to reach branches accessible. Covered its purchase cost in the first day of use Minor niggle - the socket in the tensioning screw gets bunged up with oily wood dust, would be better with slotted head screw, so may change it when out of warranty.
Overall very pleased. |

EVIL QUICKTHORN HEDGEROW BRANCHES, PIECES OF DEBRIS BECAME COMPACTED BETWEEN THE GUIDE BAR AND THE SPROCKET GUIDE AND AS A RESULT THE SPROCKET GUIDE CRACKED. AFTER A TEMPORARY GAFFER TAPE REPAIR THE WAS NO IMPAIRMENT TO ITS FUNCTIONALITY AND I WILL OBTAIN A REPLACEMENT PART, HOWEVER, IN MY VIEW THIS COMPONENT SHOULD BE MADE FROM METAL AND NOT PLASTIC. |

| Only used once, so far. Bit heavy to use, especially at full extention. I wonder if the petrol powered versions might fair better in this respect? With the weight distribution lower down? But I didn't need a hedge trimmer or strimmer, so this was a more cost alterative. It easily cut through 4" quickly, so did the job well. Ease of use depends on the height, angle and access of what your cutting. Oil runs out quickly, 100ml in 20-30 mins fairly continuous use. All in all after the limited use I've had so far, it does what it said on the 'box', for a reasonably price, and was delivered quickly. |

| Slightly difficult to assemble but once up and running it worked very well. Not the easiest of bits of equipment to manhandle (I am aged 64 years and think I am pretty fit but had a few aches and pains in some strange places) but it is far cheaper than a tree surgeon bill! |

| Philip Tarrant, Swinton |

| Worked exactly as advertised. My only 'bad' comment would be that design of the machine doesn't allow you to lay it down on the ground easily between cutting sessions. The chain rests on the ground unless you lay it on its side. |

| My first trial, the lopper is excellent, suits my purpose of reaching otherwise inaccesible branches and saves me a lot of hard work and effort. |
| Peter Shackleton, Manchester |
| PRODUCT: | |
| Delivery delayed by nearly two months but you did apologise and tell me how "late" it was going to be. However you took my money on order via credit card and had use of it for the delay period, not appreciated by me and you should do something about it. Perhaps an additional discout for using my money? |

| I can't think of any garden tool that I have ever purchased which has so exceeded my expectation. It was purchased to cut back some fairly substantial branches overhanging a lane leading to our house which were causing obstructions to high vehicles and it sliced through these with unbelievable ease. |

The chainsaw works well. It is heavy to hold at full extension, so the support belt is a "must".

A very good and robust machine. As a 78 year year old,my initial fears about it being too heavy and unmamageable were soon allayed wnen I started to use it. It is going to save me money very quickly when set against costs of employing a contracter.
Setting up the machine was fairly simple. |

This really is a bargain i put it straight to work it only took five minutes to put it together including putting the oil in and a presto away we went setting about a load of large Holly trees and Conifers along my boundary so easy to use and i felt safe using it. i had put this job off several times before i spotted this tool in your brochure it made easy work of it.
Thanks again. J/D |

Excellent product but the instructions were unclear. It took a long time to work out how to attach the chain.
The hex key disappeared after the first use. It had been inserted firmly in the groove provided on the chainsaw. I shall not keep it there again. You very helpfully replaced the hex key for me. |

| John McManus, Cottingham |

Easy to assemble and use - but a bit top-heavy, particularly when fully extended. Diagrams in instruction booklet relating to chain gear assembly are unhelpful. It's a pity also that the small oil container supplied did not contain oil to enable the user to get going. Might be helpful to point out on the website that oil purchase is necessary before the machine can be used!

| An excellent garden tool that works straight out of the box. |
| Stephen Barker, Rhyl |
| PRODUCT: | |
| The instructions supplied were reasonably clear and comprehensive but not entirely realistic, e.g. do not use on a ladder or above shoulder height. Because of the weather I have had only limited experience of the chainsaw so far but it performed well. I did find some difficulty in cutting a vertical stem because of the need to support the full weight of the chainsaw at near horizontal, though the strap helped somewhat. |

| It would be better if power lead entered right-hand side of handle. When using right-handed, cable is easily damaged by contact with leg or hip, necessitating rewiring. It is easy to rewire, however, and tail at end of handle can be reversed to solve problem. |

| It is an excellent product doing all it claims. My ownly reservation would be that it is very top heavy and so needs some strength to hold as you are preparing to use it. Once in place with strap on, and properly adjusted, it is fine. |
