CHAIN BAR OIL & LUBRICATION
Oil tank capacity - 210ml
Either use a quality proprietary chain bar oil or 10-30W motor oil.
NOTE: Only use clean fresh oil, dirty oil will damage the chain and
bar.
The service life of the chain bar depends on good lubrication. We
recommend using a good quality chain bar oil, otherwise it will
result in damage to the bar, the chain and oil pump. The bar and
chain require continuous lubrication. Lubrication is provided by
the automatic oilier system when the oil tank is kept filled. Lack
of oil will quickly ruin the chain bar and chain. Too little oil will
cause overheating shown by smoke coming from the chain and/or
discolouration of the chain bar. Chain bar oil must be free flowing
for the oil system to pump enough oil for adequate lubrication.
Never use waste oil for chain bar lubrication. Always stop the
engine before removing the oil cap. Refill the chain bar oil tank
each time the chainsaw is refuelled. To prevent possible restarting
problems avoid running the fuel tank dry. This will help to extend
engine life.
The chainsaw is supplied without oil.
Unscrew the oil tank cover. Fill the oil tank with biologically
degradable chain bar oil. Pic 15
Never use recycled, used or waste oil.
Ensure that no dirt gets into the oil tank.
The chainsaw must never be operated without chain bar oil.
If the chainsaw is operated without chain bar oil, the entire
chainsaw will suffer damage within a very short period of time.
Always check the oil level and the chain lubrication system before
starting work. Check the automatic function of the chain lubrication
system by holding the chainsaw with the tip of the bar against a
sheet of paper on the ground and running the chain a few times.
Pic 16. Keep a safe distance! If an increasing oil mark can be seen
on the paper, the automatic lubrication system is working correctly
when the chainsaw is running. Always ensure that the oil discharge
duct is free of dirt at all times. If necessary clean it with a thin
object (such as a toothpick or matchstick with the chainsaw turned
off).
Caution: Do not try to adjust the oil flow of the oil pump as it
has already been adjusted in the optimal position before it left the
factory.
Note: Due to the chain and bar being lubricated by a pressured
spray, it’s very common for this oil to drip and leak from the bottom
of the chainsaw. This is normal and not a fault. Always check oil
level before using chainsaw.
