Notes on tensioning the chain:
The saw chain must be properly tensioned to ensure safe operation. You can tell
that the chain tension is perfect if the saw chain can be lifted by around 2 mm in
the middle of the cutter rail. As the saw chain heats up during cutting and thus
changes in length, check the chain tension no less than every 10 minutes and adjust
it again as required. This applies in particular to new saw chains. When you have
finished working slacken the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it cools
down. This will prevent the chain from being damaged.
5.2.c Saw chain lubrication
Caution! Always remove the battery from the device before inspection and
adjustment. Always wear protective gloves when working on the chainsaw to
protect yourself against injury.
Important! Never operate the chain if it is not lubricated with saw chain oil. Use of
the chainsaw without saw chain oil or if the oil level is below the viewing window
will result in damage to the chainsaw!
Important! Be aware of the temperature conditions: different lubricants with
completely different viscosities are required at different ambient temperatures. At
lower temperatures you will need low viscosity oils in order to achieve a sufficient
lubricating film. However, if the same low viscosity oil is used during the summer it
will become even thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone, and as a result
the lubricating film could break down, causing the chain to overheat and become
damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn and produce unnecessary
pollutants.
Filling the oil tank (Fig. 11):
•
Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Item 31) and then clean the oil tank
cover.
•
Fill the tank (Item 30) with saw chain oil. In the process, make sure that no dirt
enters the tank, as this could cause the oil nozzle to become blocked.
•
Close the oil tank cover (Item 31).
After the chain saw mounting kit has been fitted and when the equipment is not
being used, slip the cutter guard (Fig. 1/Item 15) over the mounted cutter bar with
saw chain in order to prevent injuries.
* Add biodegradable chainsaw oil until reservoir is full. Use of non approved oil
may impair the performance of the oiling system.
