GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain
throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light
saws varies from model to model. See instructions under
the heading What is what? to find out where it is on your
model.
surface.
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.
If the chain lubrication is not working:
•
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Clean if necessary.
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an
optimal chain oil which has a vegetable oil base. 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.
Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous
to you and damage the machine and environment.
•
Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
Clean if necessary.
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.
•
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.
•
The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed
so that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil.
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after
carrying out the above checks and associated measures
you should contact your servicing dealer.
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
•
Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. 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
