5.8 Filling saw chain oil (09)
IMPORTANT!
Danger of damaging the chain saw
The chain saw will be severely damaged if there is too little or even no saw chain oil in the
tank or it has dried, such that it does not provide sufficient lubrication.
Dried or sticky saw chain oil can lead to damage to oil-channelling components or the oil
pump.
Damage also occurs if used oil is used. The use of used oil leads to environmental damage!
■
For start-up work, fill saw chain oil into the tank.
■
Do not use any used oil!
■
Each time before changing the rechargeable battery, check and fill the tank with saw chain
oil.
The saw chain and the chain bar are continuously supplied with oil during operation by means
of an automatic oiler system. The saw chain oil protects against corrosion and premature
wear. There must always be sufficient saw chain oil in the tank to lubricate the saw chain
sufficiently. To lubricate the saw chain and the chain bar, only use environmentally friendly,
biodegradable, high-quality saw chain oil. This oil must be transported and stored in approved
and appropriately labelled containers.
Each time before starting work or changing the rechargeable battery, check the oil level and
replenish the saw chain oil if necessary:
1. Check the oil level in the viewing aperture of the tank (09/1). It must always be possible to
see oil. The minimum and the maximum oil level must not be exceeded.
2. Refill saw chain oil via the filler neck (09/2) when necessary.
