There must still be a small amount of oil
in the oil tank when the fuel tank is
empty.
If the oil tank is still partly full, the reason
may be a problem in the oil supply
system: Check chain lubrication, clean
the oilways, contact your STlHL dealer
for assistance if necessary.
The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
Never operate your saw without
chain lubrication. If the chain runs
dry, the whole cutting attachment
will be irretrievably damaged within
a very short time.
Always check chain lubrication and
oil level in tank before starting work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for
about 2 to 3 minutes.
After breaking in chain, check chain
tension and adjust if necessary – see
“Checking Chain Tension”.
