sag from the underside of the bar.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.
Lubricating cutting equipment
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
equipment may cause the chain to snap,

which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
If the chain lubrication is not working:
Chain oil

Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and Clean if necessary.
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.
If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is
recommended.Y Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
In areas where oil speciŢcally for lubrication of saw chains is Clean if necessary.
unavailable, ordinary EP 90 transmission oil may be used.
Never use waste oil! This is dangerous for yourself, the
machine and the environment.
Filling with chain oil
Y All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil �ow is also adjustable.
Y Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that the
lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked. Clean
and lubricate if necessary.
Y The sizes of the chain oil tank and fuel tank have been
chosen so that the engine will run out of fuel before
running out of oil. This means that you should never run
with a dry chain.
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying
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 out the above checks and associated measures you should
fuel), and that you adjust the carburettor as recommended contact your service agent.
(a weak mixture may mean that the fuel lasts longer than
the oil) and that you also use the recommended cutting Lubricating the bar tip sprocket
equipment (a bar that is too long will use more chain oil).
The above conditions also apply to chain saw models with
an adjustable oil pump.
Lubricate the bar tip sprocket each time you refuel. Use the
special grease gun and a good quality bearing grease.
