The chain tension and chain lubrication have a consid-
erable influence on the service life of the saw chain.
The saw chain will be lubricated automatically while the
product is running. To lubricate the saw chain sufficient-
ly, there must always be enough saw chain oil in the oil
tank. Check the amount of oil remaining in the oil tank
at regular intervals.
Note:
• Use saw chain oil that contains additives to reduce
friction and wear or organic saw chain oil.
• For cutting trees, use organic saw chain oil. Mineral
oil can damage trees.
• Ensure that the cover of the oil tank is in place and
closed before switching on the product.
1. Place the product on a level, even surface.
2. Open the oil tank (17). To do this, unscrew the oil
tank cap (17) anti-clockwise.
3. To prevent oil from leaking, use a funnel*.
4. Adhere to the max. filling quantity of 30 ml.
5. Screw the cover of the oil tank (17) clockwise to
close the oil tank (17).
6. Wipe up any spilled oil carefully immediately and
dispose of the cloth* according to local regulations.
7. To check the product lubrication, hold the chainsaw
with the saw chain over a sheet of paper and give it
full throttle for a few seconds. You can see on the
paper whether the chain lubrication is working.
