To lubricate cutting equipment
WARNING: Poor lubrication of cutting
equipment may cause the chain to snap,
which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
WARNING: Do not use waste oil! Waste oil
is dangerous for persons, the product and
for the environment.

•
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the
chain and also maintain its flow characteristics
regardless of whether it is warm summer or cold
winter weather.
•
We have developed an optimal chain oil which, with
its vegetable oil base, is also biodegradable. We
recommend the use of our own oil for both maximum
chain life and to minimise environmental damage.
•
If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain
oil is recommended.
•
In areas where oil specifically for lubrication of saw
chains is unavailable, ordinary EP 90 transmission
oil may be used.
•
Never use waste oil! This is dangerous for yourself,
the machine and the environment.

To check the chain lubrication
1. Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel.
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface
about 20 cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running
at 75% throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on
the light surface.
To do a check if lubrication does not work
1. Check that the oil channel in the bar is not
obstructed. Clean if necessary.
2. Check that the oil channel in the gear housing is
clean. Clean if necessary.
3. Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely. If the
chain lubrication system is still not working after
carrying out the above checks you should contact
your service workshop.
To replace the chain drive sprocket
1. Remove the bar nut (A) that holds the clutch cover.
2. Remove the clutch cover (B).
3. Disassemble the washer clip (C).
4. Remove the washer (D).
