the saw chain and the guide rail may

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).
Turn this quick tensioning device
clockwise to increase the tension.
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 ten-
sioned, readjust the chain tension after a
short period in operation.
Check the chain tension before
each use of the high pruning saw.
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 mo-
tor is speeded up, the oil also flows faster
to the chain bar (2).
10 min
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 and regularly
top up with 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. 19 for the ad-
dress).
• If you have no Grizzly bio-oil avail-
able, 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 oil and close the
cap again.
Note that the saw can re-oil.
