General Safety Directions for
Power Tools
Before you do any work with the
electric pruner, make yourself famil-
iar with all operating parts. Practise
using the saw (sawing logs on a
sawhorse) and get an experienced
user or a specialist to explain to
you the function of the saw, the
way of working, the techniques of
sawing and the personal protection
equipment.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even if properly operating and handling this
electric tool, some residual risks will remain.
Due to its construction and build, this elec-
tric tool may present the following hazards:
a) Cuts
b) Ear damage if working without ear pro-
tection.
c) Damage to your health caused by
swinging your hands and arms when
operating the appliance for longer pe-
riods of time or if the unit is not held or
maintained properly.
WARNING! Read all safety di-
rections and instructions. Omis-
sions in the compliance with safety
directions and instructions can cause
electrical shock, re and/or severe
injuries.
Retain all safety directions and in-
structions for future use.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings re-
fers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless) power
tool.
Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
• Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of ammable
Iiquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.

GB
9
Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match
the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmod-
ied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock
• Avoid body contact with
earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, rang-
es and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
• Connect the appliance to a power
socket with a residual current circuit
breaker of rated residual current no
more than 30 mA.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the inu-
ence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cation. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equip-
ment. Always wear eye pro-
tection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional start-
ing. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energising pow-
er tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the pow-
er tool on. A wrench or a key left at-
tached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the pow-
er tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction

GB
10
and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and prop-
erly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the bat-
tery pack from the power tool
before making any adjust
-ments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentaIly.
• Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check
for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less
Iikely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking
into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
• Carefully inspect the area to be cut
and remove all wires or other foreign
bodies.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced
by a qualied repair person us-
ing only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
Chain saw safety warnings
• Keep all parts of the body
away from the saw chain when
the chain saw is operating. Be-
fore you start the chain saw,
make sure the saw chain is not
contacting anything. A moment of
inattention while operating chain saws
may cause entanglement of your cloth-
ing or body with the saw chain.
• Always hold the chain saw with
your right hand on the rear
handle and your left hand on
the front handle. Holding the chain
saw with a reversed hand congura-
tion increases the risk of personal inju-
ry and should never be done.
• Wear safety glasses and ear
protection. Other protective
equipment for the head, hands,
legs and feet is compulsory. Ad-
equate protective clothing will reduce

GB
11
personal injury by ying debris or acci-
dentaI contact with the saw chain.
• Do not operate a chain saw in a
tree. Operation of a chain saw while
up in a tree may result in personal in
jury.
• Always keep proper footing
and operate the chain saw only
when standing on xed, secure
and level surface. Slippery or un-
stable surfaces such as ladders may
cause a loss of balance or control of
the chain saw.
• When cutting a branch that
is under tension be alert for
spring back. When the tension in
the wood bres is released the spring
loaded Iimb may strike the operator
and/or throw the chain saw out of
control.
• Use extreme caution when cut-
ting brush and saplings. The slen-
der material may catch the saw chain
and be whipped toward you or pull
you off balance.
• Carry the chain saw by the
front handle with the chain saw
switched off and away from
your body. When transporting
or storing the chain saw always
t the guide bar cover. Proper
handling of the chain saw will reduce
the Iikelihood of accidentaI contact
with the moving saw chain.
• Follow instructions for lubri-
cating, chain tensioning and
changing accessories. Improperly
tensioned or lubricated chain may
either break or increase the chance for
kickback.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease. Greasy,
oily handles are slippery causing loss
of control.
• Cut wood only. Do not use chain
saw for purposes not intended.
For example: do not use chain
saw for cutting plastic, masonry
or non-wood building materials.
Use of the chain saw for operations
different than intended could result in a
hazardous situation
• Hold the power tool only on
the insulated handle surfaces,
as the saw chain can come into
contact with concealed power
lines or the mains cable to the
equipment. Contact between the
saw chain and a live wire can make
metal parts of the equipment live and
cause an electric shock.
Causes and operator preven-
tion of kickback
Beware of kickback! Be careful of
kickback of the machine during
work. There is danger of injury
here. You can avoid kickbacks by
exercising caution and using a cor-
rect sawing technique.
b
a
Bild 1
• Kickback may occur when the nose or
tip of the guide bar touches an object,
or when the wood closes in and pinch-
es the saw chain in the cut
(cf. g. b).
• Tip contact in some cases may cause
a sudden reverse reaction, kicking the
guide bar up and back towards the

GB
12
operator (cf. g. a).
• Pinching the saw chain along the top
of the guide bar may push the guide
bar rapidly back towards the operator.
• Either of these reactions may cause
you to lose control of the saw which
could result in serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into your saw. As a chain
saw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from ac-
cident or injury.
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or condi-
tions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below:
• Maintain a rm grip, with
thumbs and ngers encircling
the chain saw handles, with
both hands on the saw and po-
sition your body and arm to al-
low you to resist kickback forc-
es. Kickback forces can be controlled
by the operator, if proper precautions
are taken. Do not let go of the chain
saw.
• Do not overreach and do not cut
above shoulder height. This helps
prevent unintended tip contact and en-
ables better control of the chain saw in
unexpected situations.
• Only use replacement bars and
chains specied by the manu-
facturer. Incorrect replacement bars
and chains may cause chain breakage
and/or kickback.
• Follow the manufacturer´s
sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Decreasing the depth gauge height
can lead to increased kickback.
• Do not saw with the point of the
blade (cf. g. b) or above shoul-
der height. Do not lean over too far
during the sawing operation.
• Ensure that there are no objects
lying around on the ground that
you can trip over.
Further safety directions
•This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been giv-
en supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person re-
sponsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appli-
ance.
• Damaged cables, coupling and plugs
or connecting leads, not corresponding
to the specications, must be not be em-
ployed. Remove the plug immediately
from the plug socket in case of damage
or cutting through of the mains cable.
• Keep the equipment, cutting attachments
and protective blade cover in good con-
dition in order to prevent injury.
• Ensure during any location change that
the saw chain is secured with the chain
brake and the chainsaw is switched off
and the nger does not contact the On/
Off switch. Carry the electric pruner
with the chain and chain bar pointing
to the rear. Attach the chain guard
for transporting the electric pruner. If
dropped, check the equipment for sig-
nicant damage or defects.
• Never start the electric pruner before
the chain bar, saw chain and sprocket
chain wheel covering are correctly as-
sembled.

GB
13
• The electric pruner is designed for
two-handed operation. Never work
with one hand or above shoulder
height.
• Ensure you have a secure stance dur-
ing sawing. Do not work on a ladder,
in the tree or on unstable locations. Be
very cautious carrying out work on a
slope.
• Basically the mains cable is dragged
behind the operator. The cable must
always lead away from the electric
pruner towards the rear.
• Keep your working area tidy. Only
start work if your working area is free
from obstruction and you have planned
a safe path of escape when felling tim-
ber.
• Place the claw stop securely with every
cut and do not begin with the sawing
before this.
• Be extremely careful during sawing
small bushes and branches. The thin
branch thicket can snag in the saw
and whip in your direction or make
you unbalanced.
• Do not cut wood that is lying on the
ground.
• Pay attention to a possible spring-back
during the sawing of a branch which
is under stress, if the stress force of the
wood is suddenly released. Danger of
injury exists.
• Check the safety status of the electric
pruner, in particular the chain bar,
chain brake and the chain, before use.
• In the event that the cutting attach-
ment becomes jammed or stuck in the
branches, do not attempt to free the
equipment with the use of force. Switch
off the equipment immediately and re-
start it only after clearing the blockage.
There is a risk of injury!
Fitting
• Pull out the power plug before doing
any work on the electric pruner itself
-– injury hazard!
• Alwayas wear cut-protection gloves
• Undertake only work with which you
are condent.
• In case of uncertainty, contact a spe-
cialist or contact our service directly.

3. You can also adjust the height of
the carrying eye (15) on the tel-
escoping rod after loosening the
hex socket head screw (15a).
Installing the sawing chain
and blade
Always disconnect the plug from
the mains socket before working.
Danger of electric shock.
1. Spread out the sawing chain (1)
in a loop in a way that the an-
gled cutting edges of the chain
links are aligned clockwise.
2. Place the sawing chain (1) into
the blade groove.
3. To install, hold the blade (2)
tilted at an angle of approx.
45degrees upward, and guide
the sawing chain (1) around the

7. Tighten the blade attachment
screw (4) with light hand force
only because the sawing chain
(1) must still be tightened.
Ensure that chain tensioning pin
(26) is positioned in hole (25) on
the blade (2). The pin must be com-
pletely inserted into the hole.
Tensioning the saw chain
Always disconnect the plug from
the mains socket before working.
Danger of electric shock.
The tension of saw chain (1) is important
both for your safety and for the function of
the electric pruner. A correctly tensioned
saw chain will increase the lifetime of your
equipment.
• 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.

and allow the motor to cool
before lling with chain oil.
There is a risk of re if chain
oil overows.
Blade ( 2) and saw chain ( 1)
must always be oiled. Non-obser-
vance of this will result in increased
wear on the blade and saw chain.
A full tank will last for approx.
10minutes of continuous operation.
Check the oil level in good time.
The electric pruner is equipped with an oil
automatic system. As soon as the motor is
speeded up, the oil also ows faster to the
chain bar ( 2). Before starting work,
check the oil level in the oil automation sys-
tem (see “Operation startup”).
Filling up with chain oil:
• Check the oil ll level in the oil level
inspection window (27) and regularly
top up with chain 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. 23 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 ll cap (28) and ll 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-specic and
municipal regulations.
Do not work with the electric pruner
during general ordinary or pre-
scribed quiet periods.
Before starting, check
• Check the tension of saw chain
(1).
• Check the chain oil level.
• Check all nuts and screws are sitting
rmly.
• Only remove blade cover ( 18) at
the last minute.
• Set the working length of the telescopic
arm before switching on the equip-
ment.
• Check the shoulder belt ( 14) for
comfortable positioning which facili-
tates holding the device.
• Ensure that you are wearing protective
clothing.
• Check that you are standing safely.
• Check your working surroundings.

Switching On and Off
1. Put on the shoulder belt (
14) (see “Attaching/Setting the
Shoulder Belt”).
2. Connect the power cable (12)
with the extension cable.
3. Make a loop in the end of the
extension cable and suspend this
in the cable strain relief element
(11) on the handle (9).
4. Connect the equipment to a pow-
er supply with the supply voltage
specied on the rating plate.
5. Hold the equipment rmly in a
relaxed and safe manner (see
).
6. Operate starting lock (13) and
switch on the pruning saw at
on/off switch (10).
For safety reasons, a lockable
continuous operation setting is
not possible.
7. The equipment will switch off
again when you release on/off
switch (10).
Checking the oil automation
Before starting work, check the oil level in
the oil automation system
1. Switch the device on and hold it above
clear ground. The device should not
touch the ground.
2. If a trace of oil appears, the device is
working awlessly.
3. If no trace of oil appears, clean the oil
outlet channel ( 22) or have the de-
vice repaired by our customer service
department.
4. To clean, wipe the residues from the oil
outlet channel ( 22) using a brush
or a rag.
Adjusting the Telescopic
Handle
The telescopic handle can be innitely ad-
justed using quick release (17).
1. Push the lever (17a) forward
as shown in the illustration then
push and pull to adjust the han-
dle length.
2. Pull back the lever (17a) and so
x the desired working length of
the telescopic handle.
3. If the lever (17a) comes loose,
tighten the Allen screw (17b)
using the Allen key (20).
Adjusting the handle
The incline angle of the handle (9) can be
adjusted continuously.
1. Loosen pivotal centre (8) and
and xing the adjustable handle
(9) on position.
2. Replace the pivotal centre (8) to
xation.
Transport
• Put on blade cover ( 18).
• Ensure that you do not switch on the
equipment when carrying it.

Sawing Off Small Branches
Set your saw cut of smaller branches (Ø
0-8cm) from top to bottom, as illustrated.
Be aware of early breaking of the branch
if you have underestimated the size and
weight.
Be completely aware of the falling cut
material
Sawing Off Larger Branches
For controlled sawing of larger branches
(Ø 8-25cm), rst select a relief cut (see
cutting a).
This is made from below.
Saw a notch in the lower third of the
branch.
The actual length cut (see cutting b) is
again made from the top, as far as possi-
ble in line with the rst cut so that the two
cuts meet.
Sawing Off Parts
For large/long branches, sawing off in
parts is recommended (see cutting a, b, c).
This is the only way to safely ensure the
point of impact of the cut material.
Clear away from the area in which you
are standing any parts that have already
been cut and are lying on the ground.
Sawing techniques
Be thoroughly aware of the danger of rebounding branches.

Working Safely
• Keep the equipment, cutting attach-
ments and protective blade cover in
good condition in order to prevent inju-
ry.
• If dropped, check the equipment for
signicant damage or defects.
• Observe the specied working angle
60°±10°, in order to guarantee safe
working.
• Do not use the electric pruner when
standing on a ladder or in an unsafe
position.
• Do not be tempted to make unconsid-
ered cuts. Doing so may endanger
both yourself and others.
• Children must be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the equip-
ment.
• Change your working position regu-
larly. Long use of the equipment can
result in vibration-related circulatory
disorders in the hands. However, the
length of use can be extended by us-
ing suitable gloves or taking regular
breaks. Note that a personal tendency
for poor circulation, low outdoor tem-
peratures, or high gripping forces dur-
ing work will reduce the length of use.
Cleaning/Maintenance/
Storage
Basically, carry out mainte-
nance and cleaning works
with switched-off motor and
power plug removed. Danger
of injury!
Leave any maintenance and
servicing work not covered
by this manual to our Ser-
vice-Center. Use only original
spare parts.
Cleaning
Do not use cleaning agents or sol-
vents. You may otherwise irrepara-
bly damage the appliance.
• Keep clean the ventilation slots, motor
housing and handles of the appliance.
Use a damp cloth or a brush.
• Saw chain ( 1) is to be wiped only
with a dry cloth.
Resharpening of the saw
chain
Leave the resharpening of a saw chain
to an expert or proceed according to the
instructions of your saw chain sharpener.
Resharpening a saw chain takes some
practice. If in doubt, replacing the saw
chain is preferable.
Storage
• Clean the equipment before putting it
away.
• Put on blade cover ( 18).
• Always empty the oil tank before paus-
es in operation lasting several weeks
because the biological chain oil can
become resinous and block the oil out-
let channel. Dispose of used oil in an
environmentally correct manner.
• Store the device in a dry, frost-free,
and dust-protected place and out of
reach of children.
Because there is a ventilation open-
ing in the oil tank lid, it cannot al-
ways be excluded that oil is emitted
in all device positions. It is therefore
advisable to empty the oil tank be-
fore each storage period.

Waste disposal and en-
vironmental protection
Dispose of used oil in an environmentally
correct manner - bring it to a waste dispos-
al center. Do not dispose of used oil in the
sewage system or drains.
Be environmentally friendly. Return the
tool, accessories and packaging to a recy-
cling centre when you have nished with
them.
Machines do not belong with do-
mestic waste.
Empty the oil tank carefully and
hand in your electric chainsaw at
a disposal center. The plastic and
metal parts employed can be sep-
arated out and thus recycled use
can be implemented. Ask our Ser-
vice-Center for details.
