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.

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) (position
I
).
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-clockwise .
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.
As soon as the motor is speeded up, the oil
also flows faster to the chain bar (
A
4).
Filling up with chain oil:
• Check the oil level indicator (
C
21)
regularly and top-up the oil if the mini-
mum mark „MIN“ (
C
22) is reached on
the oil level indicator. The oil tank holds
about 190 ml of 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.
• Empty the oil tank before longer periods
(6-8 weeks) of non-use.
C 1. Unscrew the oil fill cap (2) and fill
up with chain oil.
2. Wipe off any spilled oil and
close the cap (2) again.
Always switch off the device
and allow the motor to cool
before filling with chain oil.
There is a risk of fire if oil
overflows.
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. Make sure
before you start that the electric
chain saw is not touching anything.
Caution! Saw can oil up, see notes
on “Assembly - Mount the saw
chain“
