The chain is correctly tensioned if it does
not sag at the rail underside and can be
rotated completely around with the gloved
hand.
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.
B 1. Ensure that the chain brake has
been released, that is, that the
chain brake lever (3) is pulled up
against the front grip (8).
2. Unscrew the fastening bolt (14).
3. To tighten the saw, turn the chain
adjustment ring (13) clockwise.
To loosen the tension, turn the
chain adjustment ring anti-clock-
wise.
4. Tighten up the fastening bolt (14)
again.
With a new saw chain, you must
readjust the chain tension after at
least 5 cutting operations.
Chain lubrication
The rail and chain must never be
without oil. If you operate the elec-
tric chainsaw with too little oil, the
cutting performance and the lifetime
of the saw chain is reduced, since
the chain becomes blunt faster. You
can identify a case of too little oil
where smoke development or dis-
coloration of the rail occurs.
The chainsaw is equipped with an auto-
matic oiling system. As soon as the motor
is speeded up, the oil also flows faster to
the chain bar (4).
Filling.up.with.chain.oil:
• Check the oil fill level and regularly top
up with oil ( C 20). The oil tank holds
270 ml oil.
• Use Parkside 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.
• If you have no Grizzly bio-oil available,
use chain lubrication oil with low adhe-
sive additive content.
C 1. Unscrew the oil fill cap (2) and fill
up with chain oil.
2. Wipe off any spilled oil and
close the cap again.

Operating the chainsaw
Switch on the chainsaw only when
chain bar, saw chain and sprocket
chain wheel covering are correctly
assembled. Ensure the voltage of the
mains connection agrees with the
label on the device. Make sure you
have a secure stance
