1.1.6.1 Oil for Saw Chains
To lubricate saw chain and guide bar, use only ecologi-
cal, biologically degradable quality oil for saw chains,
eventually oil for saw chains on the basis of mineral oils
(ISO VG 100).
Never use used oil! Used oil Used oil does not
lubricate the chain sufficiently and besides it
can harm the environment.
When working with the chain saw, there can appear a
kickback.
This kickback can be caused when the top ending of the
guide bar touches the wood or any other firm object.
At this moment, the chain saw stops to be controllable
and it is kickbacked with high velocity in the direction to
the user. This can cause severe injury.
