Aldi Pole Pruner Chainsaw size Help!!

[Archibald Tarquin Blenkinsopp]

Bought the device, threw the manual away :-(

Need a chain, has anyone any idea of the size or what equivalent
product is on the market somewhere else ?


Aldi are totally useless! Emailed and phoned their support people and
all they come up with is promises to send manuals or information.

All my local branch said was "contact support".


I suppose you get what you pay for!

You threw away the manual but call the grocer you bought it from useless?

Google on spares for the brand. You might get lucky. Otherwise it's a case
of trying to work out which maker range it was based on. Often compatible
with Bosch - but not always.

Yes I do!

Everything is on the internet now, almost everything I buy comes with
a CD or website address.

I expect anyone to support or advise on their products particularly
where there are risks involved in not following procedures.

To rely totally on a manual is negligence.

Have you still got the old chain to measure?

Most of the pruners take a 3/8" low profile chain. Typically about 33
links for a 8" bar. Places that supply chains will be able to make
whatever size you need usually.

One is overwhelmed. I am aware of Lidl's support and would have bought
a Lidl pole pruner, but I only saw the battery units in the stores. It
looks the same as the Aldi, but just to be on the safe side I'll see
if I can buy a Lidl unit anyway.

Many, many thanks! I never thought of looking at Lidls website.

Take the old chain to your local repair shop, they will sell you another.
They are made up the same way as a bicycle chain, ie the rivets can be removed/replaced with a small press.

[tabb...@gmail.com]

I've been very unimpressed with Aldi's support too, but it does sound like you're being unfair. Walter Werkzeug supplies a lot of their tools.

I'd take it to somewhere f2f that stocks lots of saw chains.

I make a point of downloading the PDF manual when I buy something, much
easier than hunting for it later when you need it and it's been lost
from the manufacturer's website.

Yes. Usually in the manual.

Pages and pages of warnings in the manual. You did read it before throwing
it away?

> To rely totally on a manual is negligence.

Well, if you'd kept the receipt you could have got your money back. Most
would staple it to the manual...

Alas I dont have access!

I did mean to remove the chain after my last bit of pruning, but I ran
out of time. I know of no dealers anywhere in the vicinity of the
pruner hence my need to source in the UK.


I have emailed Lidl. I haven't seen a mains powered unit in their
stores, but if they have one I will buy it and keep the aldi as a
spare. Hopefully a supply of spare chains will be common to both. They
look identical.

[damdu...@yahoo.co.uk]

a quick search finds the PDF version of the manual as sold in Aldi
Australia. More than likely the same machine one except for the Plug.
https://assets.einhell.com/im/imf/none/900_301637/

The manual describes the chain as an Oregon 90JG033X or underneath
that 91P033X.

The first number brings up
http://www.einhelltools.co.uk/product-info.php?pid44209.html

the second
http://www.newsawchains.co.uk/Oregon-91P033X-Chainsaw-Chain-33-Drive-Links
amongst others.
Count the links on your old chain to see if there are 33 , if there
are then you could order with reasonable confidence that they will
fit.

Many thanks, although the device seem a little short compared to the
unit I bought in Ireland. The fittings are different also, but it may
be the same cutter.

Regards

[Roger Mills]

The slightly larger chainsaw which I bought from Aldi or Lidl (can't
remember which) certainly had an Oregon bar and chain. Chances are that
the Ł10 jobbie in the second link(!) is what the OP needs.

It was stapled to the manual - there's always another copy on the web ;-)

Fair enough,

I take a photo of the relevant pages and store them in a file called
"manuals" kept on an SD card. Then throw the manual away.
It's a great spacesaver especially with many manuals or instructions
being languages for other markets.

Even if you need to go online what is the most important info you may
need?
Model Number or what version you have?

Oh Bugger . It was in the manual.

expensive..

I bought a Macalistair electric one which comes with a pole but can also
be used with normal handle (supplied). From memory it was about £80. It
does what I need- light lopping of some trees etc I can't readily reach
from the ground without the pole.

As I recall, I bought if from Screwfix but I think B&Q also do them.

Remember, even a small chainsaw on the end of a pole is quite difficult
to man-handle so small has is good.

FWIW Lidl just had something that sounds similar to the Aldi, except
that it came complete with an Oregon bar and chain. Runs on their 20
volt batteries. Basically on a 1 metre stick that extends to two metres.
Waiting for the rain to stop before trying it. About £50 iirc.

[Archibald Tarquin Blenkinsopp]

No complaints at all. I ended up with three, I thought at the price
the one I bought wouldn't last and the other two were at a
ridiculously low price.

I'm still on the first! I have a lot of Olearia that are beyond the
range of the device, but with a bit of ingenuity and no RAMS, the
system works.

I would strongly reccomend the pruner!

Not sure how many chains I've used. I got a lot from Ebay.

AB

[Archibald Tarquin Blenkinsopp]

A lot of gardening tools are battery powered now. The force and
movement involved in cutting would suggest that batteries are not a
good choice for most gardening tasks.

I did look at a Lidl lopper last month, but it seems almost as
impractical as the lopper with a piece of string attached to an angled
blade.

With engineering, I am a believer that if it don't look right, it
probably isn't
