Chain oil
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

biodegradable. We recommend the use of our own oil for both
maximum chain life and to minimise environmental damage.
If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is
recommended.

Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight that Filling with chain oil
you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
Y All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil �ow is also adjustable.
Y Undo the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain brake.
Use the combination spanner. Then tighten the bar nuts
by hand as tight as you can.

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).
Y Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nuts while
lifting the tip of the bar at the same time. Check that you
can pull the chain round freely by hand and that it does not
sag from the underside of the bar.
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.
