Chain lubrication

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 high pruning saw 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
10 min
minutes of continuous opera
tion.
Check the oil level in good time.

• Check the oil fill level and regularly top
up with oil. The oil tank holds 70 ml oil.
• Use Grizzly bio-oil; this product contains
additives that reduce wear and tear and
does not damage the pump system. bio-oil
is available from our Service-Center (see
P. 74 for the address).
• If you have no Grizzly bio-oil available, use
chain lubrication oil with low adhesive addi-
tive content.
1. Unscrew the oil fill cap (23) and fill
up with chain oil.
2. Wipe off any spilled oil and close the
cap again.
Note that the saw can re-oil.
