Checking Chain Lubrication Fitting the Harness
1
2
The bayonet-type oil tank filler cap with
its hinged grip can be opened and
closed without tools.
The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
:
Always check chain lubrication and
the oil level in the tank before
starting work.
:
To open the tank, swing the grip (1)
to the vertical position.
:
Turn the filler cap counterclockwise
as far as stop and remove.
Never operate your pruner without
chain lubrication. If the chain is run
dry, the whole cutting attachment
will be irretrievably damaged within
a very short time.
:
:
Fill up with chain oil.
To close the oil tank, place the filler
cap in position with the grip upright,
making sure the recesses (2) are in
alignment.
Shoulder Strap
Inadequate lubrication can be caused by
a dirty oil strainer: Have the oil strainer
cleaned or replaced by your servicing
dealer.
The type and style of harness depend on
the market.
:
:
Turn the filler cap clockwise as far
as stop.
:
:
Put on the shoulder strap (1).
Adjust the length of the strap so that
the spring hook (2) is about a hand’s
width below your right hip.
Every new chain has to be broken in
for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Fold the grip down so that it is flush
with the top of the cap.
After breaking in the chain, check
chain tension and adjust if
necessary – see chapter
"Checking Chain Tension".
