Checking Chain Lubrication
If special chain lubricant is not available,
you may – in an emergency – use an HD
single grade or multigrade engine oil
with a viscosity that suits the prevailing
outside temperature.
Do not use waste oil!
Medical studies have shown that
renewed contact with waste oil can
cause skin cancer. Moreover, waste
is environmentally harmful!
:
Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap
and the area round it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
Waste oil does not have the
necessary lubricating properties
and is unsuitable for chain
lubrication.
:
:
Remove the filler cap.
Refill the chain oil tank every time
you refuel.
:
Close the filler cap.
Oil pumps with a slot in the adjusting
screw have a higher flow rate (special
option). It is necessary to check and refill
the oil tank more often – see chapter on
“Oil Quantity Control”.
The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
Never operate your saw without
chain lubrication. If the chain runs
dry, the whole cutting attachment
will be irretrievably damaged within
a very short time.
There must still be a small amount of oil
in the oil tank when the fuel tank is
empty.
If the oil level in the tank does not go
down, the reason may be a problem in
the oil supply system: Check chain
lubrication, clean the oilways, contact
your servicing dealer for assistance if
necessary. STIHL recommends that you
have maintenance and repair work
performed only by a STIHL servicing
dealer.
Always check chain lubrication and
oil level in tank before starting work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for
about 2 to 3 minutes.
After breaking in chain, check chain
tension and adjust if necessary – see
“Checking Chain Tension”.
