10. CUTTING PARTS
This section explains how to properly use and maintain the right cutting parts:
it eliminates the risk of recoil
it eliminates the risk of falling the chain out of groove and its damage
it improves cutting efficiency
it extends chain lifetime
Five basic rules
1. Use just recommended cutting parts
See „Technical Data“
2. From the viewpoint of saw optimum functionality it is important to keep cutting teeth sharp!
Proceed as per the instructions and apply sharpening recommendations. Damaged or poorly
maintained chain increases the risk of accident.
3. Maintain the right height of depth gauge! (Fig. 21, B)
Worn out depth gauge increases recoil danger!
4. Keep the chain properly tightened!
Loose chain gets easily released from guide groove and increases the risk of its wear!
5. Ensure the right function of automatic lubrication and the right maintenance of cutting
elements!
11. CHAIN AND GUIDE LUBRICATION
ATTENTION! Use of improper oil carries the risk of cutting elements damage and, in extre
me cases, also threat to life.
Chain lubrication oil
Chain and guide are lubricated by the automatic lubrication system. We recommendto apply
exclusively the oil intended for chain saws that features good adhesion and viscosity
irrespective of weather. When selecting oil it is important that viscosity properties of chosen
oil correspond to the effect of the season in which the saw is used.
We recommend you to use biodegradable oil taking into account both the protection of your
saw and the environment.
If you do not have oil intended for chain saws, you can apply transmission oil, type EP 90.
If you need to consult the selection of suitable oil, please refer to our service department.
ATTENTION! Never apply used motor oil!
Used motor oil contains the impurities that can do harm to oil pump, guide and chain.
