GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Lubricating cutting equipment

Chain oil

Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and 
also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of whether it 
is warm summer or cold winter weather.

As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an optimal 
chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is also 
biodegradable. We recommend the use of our own oil for both 
maximum chain life and to minimise environmental damage. 
If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is 
recommended.

Never use waste oil! 

 Using waste oil can be dangerous to 

you and damage the machine and environment.

Filling with chain oil

All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication 
system. On some models the oil flow is also adjustable.

The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed so 
that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil.

However, this safety feature requires that you use the right 
sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out before the 
fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as recommended 
(a lean mixture may mean that the fuel lasts longer than 
the oil) and that you also use the recommended cutting 
equipment (a bar that is too long will use more chain oil).

Checking chain lubrication

Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. See 
instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip 
sprocket.

Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20 
cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle 
you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface.

If the chain lubrication is not working:

Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed. 
Clean if necessary.

Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean. 
Clean if necessary.

Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that the 
lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked. Clean 
and lubricate if necessary.

If the chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying 
out the above checks and associated measures you should 
contact your service agent.

!

WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting 
equipment may cause the chain to snap, 
which could lead to serious, even fatal 
injuries.

IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain oil, 
dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw chain 
before long-term storage. Otherwise there is a risk of the 
saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw chain 
becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming.
