Description
The Edma telescopic pole (Ref 1699) is a lightweight, durable aluminium extension pole designed for professional use, offering excellent reach for demanding indoor and outdoor work. This model is steplessly adjustable between 115 cm and 275 cm, which lets you work at high ceiling heights or in awkward places without ladders. The pole has an 18 mm thread, which makes it compatible with many paint rollers, sanding heads and other tools with a threaded connection.
The pole is designed with ergonomics in mind. At the handle end there is a flat, rotating, non-slip knob that improves grip and reduces wrist strain during long periods of work, such as sanding or painting ceilings. The aluminium body ensures that the pole is light to handle yet rigid enough for precise work at full length.
The locking mechanism is a reliable twist lock that ensures the pole stays at the set length and does not slide shut under pressure. This makes it a safe choice for both filler sanding and painting, where force is applied to the pole. The product is an essential accessory for finishing work that requires both reach and precision.

- Cleaning: Can be used as an extension pole for various washing brushes and squeegees when cleaning windows or facades.

Edma telescopic pole instructions for use:
Correct use and maintenance guarantee a long service life for the product:
Getting started: Screw the tool you want (e.g. a paint roller or sanding head) tightly onto the pole thread. Check compatibility before tightening.
Adjusting the length: Unlock the pole by turning the inner tube anticlockwise relative to the outer tube. Pull the pole out to the required length. Lock the pole by turning clockwise until you feel resistance and the pole is firm.
Maintenance: Wipe paint splashes or filler dust off the pole after each use. If the locking mechanism starts to feel stiff, clean the joint between the tubes carefully. Avoid twisting the pole sideways when it is fully extended.
Warnings:
Note the following safety points during use:
- Electrical safety: Aluminium conducts electricity. Never use the pole near open electrical wires or power lines because of the risk of electric shock.
- Overloading: Although the pole is durable, it is not intended as a lever for prising heavy objects.
- Lock: Always make sure the lock is properly tightened before working overhead.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
Does this pole fit all paint rollers?
The pole has an 18 mm thread, which is a common standard, but it does not fit “push-fit” (quick-release) handles without an adapter. Check how your tool is attached.
Is the pole compatible with Edma sanding heads?
Yes, it is designed to work with most threaded Edma sanding heads and spatulas.
Can parts of the pole be replaced?
A telescopic pole is usually a closed unit, and individual tube parts are not available as spare parts. The end pieces are fixed.
