chain and also maintain its flow caracteristics regardless of
whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.

tightening the chain
tensioning screw using
the combination spanner.
Tighten the chain until it
hangs slack on the
As a chainsaw manufacturer we have developed an optimal

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 weak
mixture may mean that the
fuel lasts longer than the
oil). You should also use the
recommended cutting
equipment (a bar that is too
long will use more chain oil).
The above conditions also
apply to models with an
adjustable oil pump.
