Chain Lubricant
For automatic and reliable lubrication of the chain and guide bar – use only an environmentally compatible
quality chain and bar lubricant.
Biological chain oil must be resistant to aging since it will otherwise quickly turn to resin. This results in
hard deposits that are difficult to remove, especially in the area of the chain drive and chain. It may even
cause 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 lubricant.
Do not use waste oil
.
Renewed contact with waste oil can cause skin cancer. Moreover, waste oil
is environmentally harmful.
Waste oil does not have the necessary lubricating properties and is unsuitable for chain lubrication.
A full chain oil tank is sufficient for only half a tankful of fuel. Check the oil level regularly during
cutting work. Never allow the oil tank to run dry.
Preparations
●
Thoroughly clean the oil filler cap and the area around it to ensure that
no dirt falls into the tank.
●

Take care not to spill chain oil while refilling and do not overfill the tank.
Closing the filler cap
●
To close the oil tank, place the filler cap in position with the grip upright, making sure the recesses are in
alignment.
●
Turn the filler cap clockwise as far as stop.

Fold the grip down so that it is flush with the top of the cap.
If the oil level in the tank does not go down, the reason may be a fault in the oil supply system: Check chain
lubrication, clean the oilways.
