Checking The Chain Lubrication; Adjusting The Chain Lubrication; Starting The Engine - Dolmar PS-32 Instrucciones De Manejo

6-9. Checking the chain lubrication

Never work with the chain saw without sufficient chain
lubrication. Otherwise the service life of the chain and guide
bar will be reduced. Before starting work check the oil level in
the tank and the oil feed.
Check the oil feed rate as described below:
Start the chain saw (see 6-11 "Starting the engine").
(Fig. 52)
Hold the running chain saw approx. 15 cm above a trunk or the
ground (use an appropriate base).

6-10. Adjusting the chain lubrication

The engine must be switched off!
(Fig. 53)
You can adjust the oil pump feed rate with the adjusting screw
(1). The adjusting screw is on the bottom side of the housing.
The oil pump comes factory-set to a minimum feed rate. You
can set the chain oil feed rate to minimum and maximum feed
rate.
To adjust the supply rate, use a small screwdriver to turn the
adjusting screw:
• to the right for a faster
• to the left for a slower
oil feed rate.

6-11. Starting the engine

Do not start the chain saw until after it is
completely assembled and checked!

(Fig. 55)
Move at least 3 meters / 10 feet away from the place where the
chain saw was fuelled.
Make sure you have a secure footing, and place the saw on
the ground in such a way that the guide bar and chain are not
near anything.
Actuate the chain brake (block it).
Hold the front handle firmly with one hand and press the saw
against the ground.
Hold the down rear handguard with your right foot as shown.
Note: The Featherlight-Start System lets you start the saw
without effort. Go through the starting procedure smoothly and
evenly.

Prime the fuel pump (5) by pressing it several times until you
can see fuel in the pump.

If the lubrication is sufficient, you will see a light oil trace
because oil will be flung off the sawing device. Pay attention
to the direction the wind is blowing and avoid unnecessary
exposure to the oil spray!
Note:
After the saw has been turned off it is normal for
residual chain oil to drip from the oil feed system,
the guide bar and the chain for a time. This does not
constitute a defect!
Place the saw on a suitable surface.
Pick one of the two settings depending on the length of the
guide bar.
While working make sure there is enough chain oil in the tank.
If necessary, add oil.
(Fig. 54)
To ensure troublefree operation of the oil pump the oil guide
groove at the crank case (2) and the oil inlet bore in the guide
bar (3) must be cleaned regularly.
Note:
After the saw has been turned off it is normal for residual chain
oil to drip from the oil feed system, the guide bar and the chain
for a time. This does not constitute a defect!
Place the saw on a suitable surface.
Move the combination switch (1) up (choke position). This also
actuates the half-throttle lock.
Pull the starter handle (2) smoothly and evenly.
CAUTION: Do not pull the starter cable more than about
50 cm/20" out, and let it back in slowly by hand.
Repeat the starting procedure twice.
Move the combination switch (1) to the central "ON" position.
Pull the starter handle smoothly and evenly again. As soon as
the engine is running, grasp the rear handle (the safety lock
button (3) is actuated by the palm of the hand) and press the
throttle trigger (4).
CAUTION: The engine must be put in idle immediately after
starting. If this is not done, the clutch can be damaged.
Now disengage the chain brake.
Warm starting:
As described above for cold starting, but before starting push
the combination switch (1) up (Choke position) and then right
away back to the middle "ON" position. This is only to engage
the half-throttle lock. If the engine doesn't start after 2 or 3
pulls, repeat the entire starting procedure as described for cold
starting.
NOTE: If the engine was switched off only for a short time, the
saw can be started without using the combination switch.
Important: If the fuel tank has been completely emptied and
the engine has stopped due to lack of fuel prime the fuel pump
(5) by pressing it several times until you can see fuel in the
pump.
