Check the oil feed rate as described below:
Start the chain saw (see “Starting the engine”).

Adjusting the chain lubrication
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:
oil feed rate.
Pick one of the two settings depending on the length of the

While working make sure there is enough chain oil in the tank.
If necessary, add oil.
