FUEL MIXING AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
SAW CHAIN / BAR LUBRICATION
Adequate lubrication of the saw chain is essential
at all times to minimize friction with the guide bar.
Never starve the bar and chain of oil. Running the
saw with too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency,
shorten saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain,
and cause excessive wear of bar from overheating.
Too little oil is evidenced by smoke, bar
discolouration or pitch build-up. New chains/bars
should be lubricated by hand before starting.
AUTOMATIC OILER
Your chain saw is equipped with an automatic oiler
system. The oiler automatically delivers the proper
amount of oil to the bar and chain. As the engine
speed increases, so does the oil flow to the bar
pad. The oil tank should be checked and topped up
each time the fuel tank is refilled.
Check the operation of the oil pump by running the
saw at a medium speed. There should be visible
spatters of oil coming from tip of the saw about 30
second after starting the saw.
WARNING.
During normal operation the
chain brake, clutch cover, bar and chain
are lubricated with chain oil. After use oil
will drain for many weeks and pool on
the surface underneath the chainsaw.
Place the chainsaw on a protected
surface to contain the draining lubricating
oil when not being used.
CAUTION.
Whenever opening up the
fuel tank, always loosen the cap very
slowly and wait for the tank pressure to
equalise before removing the cap
completely.
OPERATION
GETTING STARTED
Before starting check the operation to the chain
brake.
1. The chain brake lever (Fig.7-A) should click
between positions (B) and (C). Leave it in
position (C) for starting.
NOTE:
The brake lever should snap into both
positions. If strong resistance is felt, or lever
does not move into either position, do not use
your saw. Take it immediately to a professional
Service Centre for repair.
2. Fill The fuel tank (Fig.8-A) with 25:1 fuel oil mix.
3. Fill The oil tank (Fig.8-B) with chain oil.
NOTE:
Whenever you refill the fuel tank with
fuel you must also top up the level of chain oil
in the chain oil tank.
STARTING
1. Push the chain brake lever forward to engage
the chain brake. (Fig.9)
