• Saw chain (1) is correctly tensioned
if it can be pulled around blade 2 by
hand (wearing gloves) without sag-
ging.
• When the saw chain is tensioned with
9 N (approx. 1 kg), the gap between
the saw chain and the guide rail may
not be more than 2 mm.
1. Turn blade fixing screw (4) anticlock-
wise to slightly loosen blade (2).
2. Set the tension of saw chain 1 using
chain tensioning device (5).
3. Turn this quick tensioning device clock-
wise to increase the tension.
4. In the same way, the tension of saw
chain (1) can be decreased by turning
anticlockwise.
3. Turn blade fixing screw (4) clockwise
to retighten blade (2).
Where saw chain (1) has been newly
tensioned, readjust the chain tension
after a short period in operation.
Check the chain tension before
each use of the electric pruner.

Chain lubrication

Always switch off the device
and allow the motor to cool
before filling with chain oil.
There is a risk of fire if chain
oil overflows.
Blade (2) and saw chain (1) must
always be oiled. Non-observance
of this will result in increased wear
on the blade and saw chain.
The electric pruner is equipped with an oil
automatic system. As soon as the motor is
speeded up, the oil also flows faster to the
chain bar (2).

A full tank will last for approx.
10 minutes of continuous operation.
Check the oil level in good time.

Filling up with chain oil:

• Check the oil fill level in the oil level
inspection window (22) and regularly
top up with chain oil. The oil tank holds
70 ml oil.
• Use Grizzly bio-oil; this product con-
tains additives that reduce wear and
tear and does not damage the pump
system. bio-oil is available from our
Service-Center (see P. 59 for the ad-
dress).
• If you have no Grizzly bio-oil availa-
ble, use chain lubrication oil with low
adhesive additive content.
1. Unscrew the oil fill cap (23) and fill up
with chain oil.
2. Wipe off any spilled chain oil and
close the cap again.
Note that the saw can re-oil.

Operation startup

Observe the country-specific and
municipal regulations.
Do not work with the electric pruner
during general ordinary or pre-
scribed quiet periods.

Before starting, check

• The tension of saw chain (1)
• The chain oil level
• All nuts and screws are sitting firmly
• Only remove blade cover (24) at the
last minute
• Set the working length of the telescopic
arm before switching on the equipment
