11 Checking Chain Lubrica‐
tion
143BA024 KN
The saw chain must always spin off a small
amount of oil.
NOTICE
Never operate your machine without chain lubri‐
cation. If the saw chain runs dry, the cutting
attachment may very quickly be damaged
beyond repair. Before starting work, always
check the chain lubrication and oil level in the
tank.
Every new saw chain needs a run-in time of 2 to
3 minutes.
After the saw chain has run in, check the tension
of the chain and correct if necessary – see
"Checking the chain tension".
