hi guys james here from haze machinery and today i'm going to show you the new pole pruning range
from ego power plus as you probably already know from our website and other product videos that
we've done we do a lot of ego equipment we've got the mowers chainsaws blowers hedge trimmers
massive range of battery equipment where all the same batteries fit all of the same products
and they're a market leader worldwide and today i'm going to talk you through the new poll range
which is the ppcx 1000 range which can either come as a poll unit on its own and then you've
got the two different attachments which is the chainsaw and the hedge trimming attachments they
can be bought individually or as a complete kit on our website so please check that out it's haze
machinery dot co dot uk first of all i'll show you through the powerhead unit this is what houses
the telescopic part of the machine so with this one you have an extra piece here where you undo
that one there and you can then slide out the telescopic part which is all sprung loaded
so it makes it easier for pulling out and putting back in again
and that one then goes back in there and you can lock it at the preferred height that you
want to be doing which we'll show you in a little while when we have a go with it
the massive thing i do like about this one it's got a soft grip handle from the tip down here
by the trigger right up through to where you two so you can put your hand wherever you want
you'll find on some other trimmers on the market that you've only got small grip handles in the
middle so you're very limited to where you can hold it or you're holding it on bare
metal so it's quite a nice feature that is the center handle here which houses the triggers
you've actually got two triggers depending on where you want to hold the machine
so if you're out like this doing a more of a horizontal cut you've got the trigger there which
you can then pull in like so or if you're doing a vertical cut like that you've got the trigger on
the front there so you've got full support because if you're back there with the trigger on vertical
support be a bit quite a bit awkward so it's a really nice feature they've got on that there
and then you've got the extra back handle the back handle is back behind the battery so it's
able to gain a little bit more balance and weight control depending on how you're using the tool
you've got that there to be able to hold the tool a lot more comfortable and to be able to reach up
even higher rather than having to have that one in your backhand and like that you're gaining nearly
another 50 centimeters by having that back handle it's a really nice feature on that one there and
right let's move on to the next bit so here we have the pole pruner attachment which goes on
to the power unit the way it clips onto these is that it's got like a power socket plug on the end
rather than a shaft going up through the middle of the machine so unlike the multi-tool
the motor on the multi-tool is in the power head whereas on this one the motor is then actually
the head of the unit of the tool so the motor's up there and there's just literally cables going up
through the shaft which makes it really really light to use we've also got the oil reservoir
and a 10 inch by 1.1 millimeter chain which runs at 22 meters per second which is now ego's fastest
running chainsaw in their range which is perfect for doing all your general pruning jobs you'll
find that most pruners on the market are running a 10 inch chain and this is no different for the
ego so in a minute we'll plug this one in and see how we get on let's move on to the hedge
trimmer here we have the hedge trimmer attachment which clips into the power head unit exactly the
same as the pole pruner on this little socket feature you'll see a slightly shorter pole on
this one because with the hedge trimmer head as with all others there's a little bit heavier than
the pole pruner so to gain the balance and the weight distribution across the whole machine
this is a slightly shorter pole it's got some really nice features on this which you wouldn't
have probably seen on other pole pruners i'll show you the obvious ones first and then we'll move on
to the other the motor in this one is in the head of the unit as it is with the pole pruner and the
wires just come up through the center of the pole and power that there they've got a 55 centimeter
blade to cut with which is double reciprocating so you've got blades on both sides of the machine
you've got a nice little green pulley here so you can pull that one down and then you can rotate the
head right down around the storage or up to 90 degrees there or all the way back round to there
so you've got a nice range and i believe there's seven different clicks all the way around one two
three four five six seven there we go so we've got seven positions all the way around on the
hedge trimmer there to be able to get the right angle for what you need for your hedge
but the extra little special bit on this one it'll be it'll be more obvious when we clip
it into the unit in a second but when your hedge trim is up like so you can pull this
one down here and then you can swivel your head so that one there will swivel all the way around
you've got 180 degrees so 90 in the middle which where most of the hedge trimming will take place
but if you've got an awkward area an awkward hedge that you need to get to or you want to
be able to get to that last little bit that isn't available you can swing that around like so and be
able to tip that back over that way so if i pop that pop out there to show you a little bit more
so pop it in that position so you pull that one down there and then the hedge trimmer end will
swivel all the way around if i hold it that way you can swing it around that way and click it in
swing it all the way around that way and click it in so extra little feature there
ego being very innovative have brought that out i think it's the first one on the market
anywhere in the world all right so let's get it put together and go and have a play
right so first of all we're going to go for the hedge trimmer unit and give that a go so they're
very very easy to clip in it's got a got the little wing nut here which you've got to undo
and that unit then just literally clips in like so and you do it up and it's now joined together
let's find out how long it is so if we undo that on there
and then we can then extend this one right out
until it says max there we are and you can then do that one up nice and tight and there we are
i grab my tape measure now so see how long it is from top to bottom because some manufacturers
will measure it from the end of the hedge trimmer to the handle and then others will
measure the full length some measure it from the bottom of the hedge trimmer to the handle
so it's never really a generic sizing on these machines so we'll now do on camera and see how
long it is let's get that on tape measure let's see how long it is from the top to the bottom
so we've exactly 12 feet which well that's 3.6 s 3
60 millimeters or 366 centimeters or 12 feet whichever way you want to look at it
yeah that's a fairly sizable item there we are right let's put her in the air and see
what it cuts you want to make it shorter undo the green one pull it down a bit do it back up again
and there you are
there we have that's pretty cool about to cut an extra 12 feet in the air i'm six foot two so
that's another probably five foot from where i'm holding it on top of that it's fairly high bit of
conifer we've got here but yeah managed to cut it nicely all right let's get this pole pruner
joined together and give it a go on this these lay landi's here they're quite high about five meters
high altogether so see what we can cut off let's give that a go so again same as the hedge trimmer
these just literally clip in like so and do that on that we'll um better do a length test as well
so again undo that one there pull that one out as far as it'll go until it says max and
then screw it the right way and there we go right so with this one we've got a total of
the very end we've got 13 feet so this one's an extra 12 inches so that's a total of nearly four
meters it's what two and a half centimeters off four four meters it's 3974 millimeters
or 390 and a half centimeters there we go but 13 feet in english there we go let's give it a go
uh
oh
ah so we're just going to do a quick comparison between the new pole pruner
and the ego multi-tool pole pruner and show you what the differences are so if you put them
together you've got about an extra 90 centimeters here on the end three feet so you're able to reach
a lot higher than you were before it's obviously telescopic so you can use it in different heights
the multi-tool here i've got it with the pole pruning end in but it's also got the extension
shaft in as well you can use that one either at two different stages so you can use the multi-tool
without the extension shelf or within whereas the advantage with the pole pruner you can use
it telescopically so you can use it at whatever height you want it to wherever it's comfortable
the main differences are the handles so you've got the handle at the back of this one whereas on the
normal multi-tool you haven't and you're holding it here all the time and again you've only got a
small amount of grip on there for the shaft to be able to grip onto whereas this one you've got the
full handle grip all the way up through and then obviously the triggers so you can choose where you
want to put your hand whether it's on the front trigger or the rear trigger whereas on the normal
multi-tool you can only have your hand in one place and then with the hedge trimmers as well
again you've got the advantage of obviously being telescopic compared to the normal multi-tool where
you can only use it in two different lengths or with a multi-tool you can buy the shorter reach
hedge trimmer which has the shorter pole on it all of those are available on our website to purchase
