GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Adjustment of depth gauge settingY Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by tightening
the chain tensioning screw using the combination
spanner. Tighten the chain until it does not sag from the
underside of the bar.
Y The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend that you
adjust the depth gauge setting every third time you sharpen
the cutting teeth. NOTE! This recommendation assumes that
the length of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
Y You will need a �at Ţle and a depth gauge tool. We Y Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nuts while

Chain oil
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and

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 WARNING! A slack chain may jump off and

Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous to
you and damage the machine and environment.
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is therefore
important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the slack.IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain oil,

you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
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 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.
Y The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed so
that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil.
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).
