Checking Chain Lubrication

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.
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.
Inadequate lubrication can be caused by
a dirty oil strainer: Have the oil strainer
between the tank and pump cleaned or
replaced by your STIHL dealer.
Every new chain has to be broken in
for about 2 to 3 minutes.
After breaking in the chain, check
chain tension and adjust if
necessary – see chapter "Checking
Chain Tension".
