Take care to ensure that the chain is moving in the right direction.
 Place the sawing bar along with the saw chain on the device.
Take care to ensure that the chain tensioning pin engages in the sawing
bar.
Ensure that the saw chain fits around the sporcket.
 Place the chain cover and tighten it on the device.
The saw chain should not hang loose, but it should be possible to pull it a
few milimeters away from the sawing bar.
 Turn the knob and loosen it enough so that the sawing bar can be moved by hand.
 Tighten the chain tensioning screw using a screwdriver.
 Turn the swa chain by hand in order to check that it runs smoothly and properly.
 Turn the knob so that it is fastened tightly.
10.2 Filling in chain oil (Fig E)
To prevent dirt getting inside the tank, clean the oil tank cap (13) before opening. Check the
contents of the oil tank during sawing work by checking the oil gauge (14). Close the oil tank
cap tightly and wipe away any spills.
Tank capacity 65ml, is sufficient for aoorox. 30min. of operating time.
10.3 Chain lubrication
To prevent excessive wear, the saw chain and guide bar must be evenly lubricated during
operation.
Lubrication is automatic. Never work without chain lubrication. If the chain runs dry, the entire
cutting apparatus will quickly become severely damaged. It is therefore important to check
both chain lubrication and the oil gauge every use.
Never use the saw when the oil level is below the
“Min.” mark.

Min.: When only approx. 5 mm of oil is visible at the lower rim of the oil gauge (14), you
must top up with oil.

Max.: Top up with oil until the window is full.
10.4 Checking the automatic lubrication
Before commencing work, check the automatic chain lubrication and oil gauge. Switch on the
chain saw and hold it above the ground. Be careful not to allow the chain saw to touch the
ground. For safety reasons it is best to keep a clearance of at least 20 cm. If you now see
growing traces of oil, the chain lubrication system is working correctly. if there are no traces of
oil at all, try cleaning the oil outlet, the upper chain tensioning borehole and the oil duct, or
contact your Customer Service.
10.5 Chain lubricants
The service life of saw chains and guide bars depends to a large extent on the quality of the
lubricant used. Old oil must not be used! Use only environment-friendly chain lubricant. Store
chain lubricant only in containers which comply with the regulations.
