Filling with chain oil
•
All our chainsaws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil flow is also
adjustable.
•
The saw chain oil tank is designed to last aproximately
three battery charges. However, this safety feature
requires that you use the right sort of chain oil (if the
chain oil is to thin it will last shorter time).
•
Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil
pump, the bar and the chain.
•
It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable
viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.
•
In temperatures below 32°F (0°C) some oils become
too viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result
in damage to the oil pump components.
•
Contact your servicing dealer when choosing chain
oil.
Checking chain lubrication
•
Check the chain lubrication every third battery charge.
See instructions under the heading Lubricating the
bar tip sprocket. See instructions under the heading
Lubricating the bar tip sprocket.
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about
20 cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4
throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light
surface.
If the chain lubrication is not working:
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Clean if necessary.
•
Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
Clean if necessary.
•
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that
the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked.
Clean and lubricate if necessary.
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after
carrying out the above checks and associated measures
you should contact your servicing dealer.
