Chain lubrication
WARNING!
The product is not filled with chain oil. It is essential to fill
the product with chain oil before using it! Never operate the product
without chain oil as this will result in extensive damage to the product!
Operating the saw chain dry or with too little chain oil will decrease
cutting efficiency, shorten the product life span and cause rapid wear
to the saw chain and guide bar from overheating!
Insufficient chain oil is evident by smoke or bar discoloration! Adequate
lubrication of the saw chain during cutting operations is essential to
minimise friction with the guide bar!
1. Place the product on a stable, level surface
with the chain oil tank cap (24) facing upward.
We recommend laying a non-flammable
sheet under the product.
2. Unscrew and remove the oil tank cap (24)
(Fig. 16).

3. Fill suitable lubricant into the tank using an
oil funnel fitted with a filter to avoid debris
entering the tank. Do not overfill and leave
approximately 5 mm of space between the
top of the oil and the inside edge of the tank
to allow for expansion (Fig. 17).

NOTE:
Use engine oil SAE#10W-30 all year round or SAE#30-#40 in
summer and SAE#20 in winter.
NOTE:
Towards the end of the season, it is advisable to put only
as much lubricant in the tank as you need for each cut, so that it is
completely used up before you store the product.
4. Wipe up spilled lubricant with a soft cloth and refit the oil tank cap (24). Use
the multi-tool (31) to tighten the cap properly (Fig. 16).
