• Tighten the bar clutch by turning the knob clockwise.
• Fold the knob back in to lock the tensioning.
Lubricating cutting equipment
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
!
equipment may cause the chain to snap,
which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
Chain oil
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain
and also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of
whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.
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 becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming.
Filling with chain oil
• All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil flow is also
adjustable.
• The saw chain oil tank is designed to last aproximately
three battery charges. However, this safety feature
requires that you use the right sort of chain oil (if the
chain oil is to thin it will last shorter time).
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil
pump, the bar and the chain.
• It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable
viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.
• In temperatures below 32°F (0°C) some oils become
too viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result
in damage to the oil pump components.
• Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.
Checking chain lubrication
• Check the chain lubrication every third battery charge.
See instructions under the heading Lubricating the
bar tip sprocket. See instructions under the heading
Lubricating the bar tip sprocket.
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.
If the chain lubrication is not working:
• Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Clean if necessary.
• Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
Clean if necessary.
