GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
455e
Rancher
Lubricating cutting equipment
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
equipment may cause the chain to snap,
which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
!
•
Release the knob by folding it out.
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.
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.
•
Turn the knob anti clockwise to loosen the bar cover.
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.
•
Adjust the tension on the chain by turning the wheel down
(+) for tighter tension and up (-) to loosen the tension.
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 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).
•
Tighten the bar clutch by turning the knob clockwise.
•
Fold the knob back in to lock the tensioning.
