Chain Oil
Filling the Oil Reservoir
• Fill the chain oil tank with low
viscosity chain oil or Mitox Chain Oil
this is availble online at
www.mitox.co.uk or at your local dealer.
• Do not use waste or regenerated oil that can cause damage to the oil pump.
• The oil reservoir has a capacity sucient to provide about 20 minutes of cutting time. Be sure to
refill the oil tank every time when refuelling the saw.
Checking the Oil Supply
• After starting the engine, run the
chain at medium speed and see
if chain oil is thrown o as shown.
Adjusting the Oil Flow Rate
Never fill the oil reservoir or adjust the oiler with the engine running.
• An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consumption, requiring more frequent checks on
the oil reservoir.
• The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump that operates whenever
the chain rotates. The pump is set at the factory to deliver a minimum flow rate, but it can be
adjusted in the field. A temporary increase in oil flow is often desirable when cutting hardwood.
