Checking the chain lubrication

Never work with the chain saw  without sufficient chain 

 

lubri ca tion. Otherwise the service life of the chain and guide 

bar will be reduced. Before starting work check the oil level in 

the tank and the oil feed.

Check the oil feed rate as described below:

Start the chain saw (see “Starting the engine”).

Hold the running chain saw approx. 6” (15 cm) above a trunk 

or the ground (use an appropriate base).

If the lubrication is sufficient, you will see a light oil trace 

because oil will be flung off the sawing device. Pay attention 

to the direction the wind is blowing and avoid unnecessary 

exposure to the oil spray!

Note:

After the saw has been turned off it is normal for residual 

chain oil to drip from the oil feed system, the guide bar and 

the chain for a time. This does not constitute a defect!

Place the saw on a suitable surface.

To ensure troublefree operation of the oil pump the oil guide 

groove at the crank case (

2

) and the oil inlet bore in the guide 

bar (

3

) must be cleaned regularly.

Note:

After the saw has been turned off it is normal for residual 

chain oil to drip from the oil feed system, the guide bar and 

the chain for a time. This does not constitute a defect!

Place the saw on a suitable surface.

Adjusting the chain lubrication

The engine must be switched off!

You can adjust the oil pump feed rate with the adjusting 

screw (

1

). The adjusting screw is on the bottom side of the 

housing.

The oil pump is factory-set to the minimum feed rate. Two 

settings are possible - minimum and maximum feed rate.

To adjust the supply rate, use a small screwdriver to turn the 

adjusting screw:

• 

to the right for a faster

• 

to the left for a slower

oil feed rate.

Select one of the two settings, depending on the guide bar 

length. 

While working, make sure there is enough chain oil in the 

tank. If necessary, add oil.
