Filling Chain Oil Tank; Checking Chain Lubrication - Stihl MSE 140 C Manual De Instrucciones

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!
Waste oil does not have the
necessary lubricating properties
and is unsuitable for chain
lubrication.

Filling
Chain Oil Tank
: Thoroughly clean the filler cap (1)
and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
: Fill up with chain oil.
: Check oil level regularly during
operation.
: Top up oil tank when the "min"
mark (2) is reached.
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.

Checking Chain Lubrication

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.
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".
