Frequently Asked Questions

How high can the STIHL HT 135 pole saw reach?
The telescopic shaft extends from 2.7m to 3.9m. When held at chest height by an operator, this allows you to safely cut branches at heights of up to 5 metres (approx. 16.5 feet) from the ground.

What fuel does this pole pruner use?
It features a STIHL 4-MIX engine which runs on a 50:1 mixture of unleaded petrol and high-quality 2-stroke engine oil. Do not use unmixed straight petrol, as this will seize the engine.

Can I transport the pole saw in a standard car?
When fully retracted, the tool is 2.7 metres long. It will not fit inside a standard car boot. It is best transported in a commercial van, on a secure roof rack, or using a long-wheelbase vehicle with the seats folded down.

Do I need chain oil when hiring this tool?
Yes. The cutting chain requires dedicated automatic chain lubrication oil to prevent overheating and friction. Always check and top up the chain oil reservoir every time you refill the petrol tank.

What safety gear (PPE) should I wear?
We highly recommend wearing a safety helmet with a full-face visor, ear defenders, heavy-duty chainsaw gloves, non-slip steel-toe safety boots, and chainsaw protective trousers. Always look out for falling debris during operation.
