Filling in chain oil (Fig 4)
To prevent dirt getting inside the tank, clean the oil tank cap
(21) before opening. Check the contents of the oil tank during
sawing work by checking the oil gauge (15). Close the oil tank
cap tightly and wipe away any spills.
Securing the extension lead (Fig 6)
Only use extension leads suitable for outdoor use. The cross
section of the cable (max. length of extension cord: 75m)
must be at least 1,5 mm2. secure the chainsaw flex to the
extension lead by inserting the extension lead into the strain
relief gap of the housing.
Extension leads longer than 30 m will reduce the performance
of the chainsaw.
Chain lubrication
To prevent excessive wear, the saw chain and guide bar must
be evenly lubricated during operation.
Lubrication is automatic. Never work without chain lubrication.
If the chain runs dry, the entire cutting apparatus will quickly
become severely damaged. It is therefore important to check
both chain lubrication and the oil gauge every use (Fig. 4).
Never use the saw when the oil level is below the “Min.” mark.
a.Min.: When only approx. 5 mm of oil is visible at the lower
rim of the oil gauge (15), you must top up with oil.
b.Max.: Top up with oil until the window is full.
Checking the automatic lubrication
Before commencing work, check the automatic chain
lubrication and oil gauge. Switch on the chain saw and hold
it above the ground. Be careful not to allow the chain saw
to touch the ground. For safety reasons it is best to keep a
clearance of at least 20 cm. If you now see growing traces of
oil, the chain lubrication system is working correctly. if there
