spanner. Tighten the chain until it does not sag from the
underside of the bar.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 carburetor as recommended
(a lean mixture may mean that the fuel lasts longer than
the oil) and that you also use the recommended cutting
equipment (a bar that is too long will use more chain oil).
Checking chain lubrication

Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20
cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle
you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface.
The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain saws
varies from model to model. See instructions under the
heading What is what? to Ţnd out where it is on your model.
Lubricating cutting equipment
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
equipment may cause the chain to snap,

If the chain lubrication is not working:which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
Y Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Chain oilClean if necessary.
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and
also maintain its �ow characteristics regardless of whether it
is warm summer or cold winter weather.
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an optimal
chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is also
biodegradable. We recommend the use of our own oil for both
maximum chain life and to minimise environmental damage. Y Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.

recommended.
Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous to
you and damage the machine and environment.
IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain oil,
dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw chain
before long-term storage. Otherwise there is a risk of the
saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw chain Y Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that the

Filling with chain oil
Y All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil �ow is also adjustable.
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying
out the above checks and associated measures you should
contact your service agent.
