Lubricating the chain-saw, Fig. 4.3
4.3
A
The machine is equipped with an automatic lubricator for applying saw-chain oil.
The machine is equipped with a hydraulically controlled piston pump with adjustable,
precise metering.
NOTE !
The volume of oil applied at each pass is sufficient by a fair margin to lubricate
the chain under normal conditions. If you cut a lot of thick trees, it advisable to
increase the oil volume. Temporarily, the oil volume can be increased by lifting
up the crosscut saw-bar and, immediately after that, resuming the operation.
4.5.
Adjusting the oil feeding rate
NOTE ! Always switch off the machine before adjusting the oil flow.
The adjustment screw (a 4-mm
hexagon socket screw) (Fig. 4.4, A) is
located in the pump body.
The correct adjustment directions
are shown on the decal affixed to the
machine (Fig. 4.4, B). The oil flow is
increased by turning the screw
counter-clockwise, and it is decreased
by turning it clockwise.
