A setting screw for adjusting the chain lubrication
(Fig. 37/ Item A) is located on the underside of
the chain saw. Turning the screw counter-
clockwise increases the chain lubrication, turning
it clockwise decreases the chain lubrication.
To check the chain lubrication, hold the chain
saw, with the chain, over a piece of paper and
run it at full speed for a few seconds. You will be
able to judge the set amount of oil from the
paper.
Chain maintenance
Chain sharpening
Chain sharpening requires special tools to
ensure that cutters are sharpened at the correct
angle and depth. For the inexperienced chain
saw user, we recommend that the saw chain be
professionally sharpened by the nearest
professional Service Centre. If you feel
comfortable sharpening your own saw chain,
special tools are available from the professional
Service Centre.
Chain sharpening (Fig. 38)
Always sharpen the cutters only with outward
strokes (Fig. 38) observing the values given in Fig.
39. After sharpening, the cutting links must all
have the same width and length.
Warning:
A sharp chain produces well-
defined chips. When your chain starts to
produce sawdust, it is time to sharpen. After the
blades have been sharpened 3-4 times, check
the height of the depth limiter and if necessary
lower it with a flat file and then round off the front
corner (Fig. 40).
