This is dangerous for yourself, the saw and the environment.
The position of the chain tensioning screw varies from
model to model. See the� What is what� section to find out
where it is on your saw.
B Filling with chain oil
Y All our chain saws have an
automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models
the oil flow is also
adjustable.
Y The sizes of the chain oil
tank and fuel tank have
been chosen so that the
saw will run out of fuel
before running out of oil.
This means that you should
never run with a dry chain.
However, this safety feature
requires that you use the
right sort of chain oil (if the
oil is too thin it will run out
before the fuel), and that
you adjust the carburettor
as recommended (a weak
mixture may mean that the
fuel lasts longer than the
oil). You should also use the
recommended cutting
equipment (a bar that is too
long will use more chain oil).
The above conditions also
apply to models with an
adjustable oil pump.
