Chain Lubricant

For automatic and reliable lubrication of
the chain and guide bar – use only a
quality, environmentally compatible
chain and bar lubricant – preferably the
rapidly biodegradable STIHL Bioplus.
Biological chain oil must be
sufficiently resistant to aging
(e. g., STIHL Bioplus). Oil with a
low resistance to aging tends to
turn to resin quickly. This results in
hard deposits that are difficult to
remove, especially in the area of
the chain drive and on the saw
chain – .possibly even causing the
oil pump to seize.
The service life of the chain and guide
bar depends on the quality of the
lubricant – it is therefore essential to use
only a specially formulated chain oil.
Do not use waste oil! Prolonged
and repeated contact with waste
oil can cause skin cancer. It also
harms the environment!
Waste oil does not have the
necessary lubricant properties
and is unsuitable for chain
lubrication.
