A new saw chain must be retensioned repeatedly until it has reached its final length. This
is required more frequently than with a chain that has already been used for some time.

Chain lubrication
Notice
A dry running chain can cause irreparable damage to the entire chain fitting within a short time.
➢
Before each start of work, check the oil level in the lubricating oil tank and the proper functioning of the
chain lubrication system.
The correct lubrication of the saw chain is crucial for its service life. Lubrication is sufficient when you can see a
trace of oil between the saw chain and the guide rail.
The oil level in the lubricating oil tank must not be
below the mark (21) next to the inspection window.
Oil can be filled in at the oil tank cap (3). The filling
capacity of the oil tank is approx. 0.3 liters
[0.08 US gal.].

Only use biodegradable oil for refilling.
Use commercially available oil binders to take up any spilled oil.
Also observe the information provided by the oil manufacturer when you handle oil.
The delivery quantity of the integrated oil pump can be adjusted. Normal dosing was set at the factory. This
shows by a trace of oil that is visible between the saw chain and the guide rail. You may change this dosage if
necessary.
