Carburettor and idle speed settings
m NOTICE
Only authorised customer service locations may
make adjustments to the carburettor.
Maintaining the bar (fig. 25)
The bar (the guide rail for the chain and teeth) must
be oiled on a regular basis without exceptions. The
maintenance to the bar described in the following
section is required to ensure optimum saw perfor-
mance.
m NOTICE
The teeth on a new saw were oiled in advance in the
factory. If you do not oil the bar's teeth as described
below, performance is reduced and seizures occur,
rendering the manufacturer's warranty invalid.
Oiling the teeth
If the saw is used intensively, the bar's teeth (Z2)
must be oiled regularly (once per week).
To do this, first clean the 2 mm hole at the tip of the
bar (Z1) and then press a small amount of multi-pur-
pose grease into it.
Multi-purpose grease and grease guns are available
from specialist shops.
m NOTICE
The saw chain does not have to be removed to oil the
bar's teeth. Oiling can be carried out when working
with the motor switched off.
