Chain lubrication
Because of the large motor effect, the oil pump is set at
maximum when the chain saw is delivered. While the
oil ow can be reduced, remember that there is only a
quarter turn between max. and min. settings.
Never run the saw without chain oil. Should the oil ow
be broken, the chain will soon be damaged. Once the
lubrication system is empty, it takes 30 seconds before
oil once more reaches the chain.
Do not allow the cutting equipment to overheat during
operation.

After some use, the colour on the bar will ake off, re-
vealing the blue-coloured, induction tempered wearing
surface. This is normal and not a sign of unusual wear.
It is absolutely essential that you use a high quality oil,
one with excellent lubrication characteristics and good
adhesion. Oil lacking the latter will tend to be thrown off
at the bar tip rather than staying on the chain.
You can test the adhesion of your oil yourself by placing
a drop between the index nger and the thumb, pres-
sing them together for a few seconds and then drawing
them apart slowly. At about 3-4 cm, there should be a
thick web of oil threads between the ngers.
