LUBRICATION
Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is automatically oiled
during operation via the oil outlet.
CAUTION
The Chainsaw IS NOT supplied filled with chain oil.
It is essential to fill the oil canister with chain oil before use.
Never operate the chainsaw without chain oil or at an empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive
damage to the product, not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
FILLING THE OIL TANK
1.
Place the chainsaw on a flat, solid surface with the oil filler cap facing upwards.
2.
Clean the area around the oil filler cap with a suitable cloth.
3.
Unscrew the oil filler cap.
4.
Add chainsaw oil, until the reservoir is full.
5.
Avoid dirt or debris from entering the oil tank.
6.
Refit the oil filler cap and tighten sufficiently.
CAUTION
To allow venting of the oil reservoir, small breather channels are provided between the oil filler cap and the
strainer. To prevent leakage, ensure the machine is left in a horizontal position (oil filler cap uppermost)
when not in use.
It is important you only use recommended oil to avoid damage to the chainsaw.
Never use recycled or old chain oil.
Use of non-approved oil will invalidate the
manufacturer’s
warranty.
