Abstract
An electric pole pruner having a spring returned cutting head and equipped with a drive unit having an electric motor coupled to a drum via an epicyclic gear assembly is configured to reduce rotation speed and to increase torque. A string element is coupled to the drum of the drive unit, and to the cutting head so as to actuate the cutting head. The pole pruner further includes a locking arrangement to selectively lock or release a ring gear of the gear assembly so as to convert rotation of the electric motor into rotation of the drum when the ring gear is locked, and to convert rotation of the drum into rotation of the ring gear when the ring gear is released.
