Chain oil
9.3.1
Chain and bar lubrication
Always refill the chain oil tank each time the fuel tank is refilled. We recommend using our
chain & bar oil (check our oil assortment). To ensure the bar and chain receive oil, only use
the original style bar with the oil passage hole (A) as illustrated above (Fig. 3a). Always use
good quality sprocket oil, which contains additives to reduce friction and wear and to assist in
the prevention of pitch formation on the bar and chain.

Warning: be careful not to spill any oil. Thoroughly clean away any spilled
chain oil, even if bio-degradable chain oil is used. Be aware of slipping
hazards!
▪
Clean the area around the chain oil reservoir, and remove all wood dust and dirt.
▪
Open the chain oil reservoir cap by turning it anticlockwise.
▪
Fill with special chain oil. Do not overfill.
▪
Immediately refit the chain oil reservoir cap, and close by turning it clockwise until hand
tight and sealed.
