Why is the bar and chain on my EMAK OLEO-MAC GSH 51 Chainsaw running hot and smoking?

If the bar and chain of your EMAK Chainsaw are running hot and smoking, it could be due to several reasons: * The chain oil tank might be empty: Ensure you fill the oil tank each time you fill the fuel tank. * The chain tension may be too tight: Adjust the chain tension according to the instructions provided in the Operation-Chain Tension section. * There might be an oiler malfunction: Run the chainsaw at full throttle for 15 to 30 seconds, then stop it and check if oil is dripping from the bar tip guard and guide bar. If there is no oil, contact a Servicing Dealer. If oil is present, the chain may be dull or the bar may be damaged.
