IMPORTANT Only use chainsaw oil or
adhesive oil for chainsaws. Do not use oil
containing impurities so as not to block the oil filter
and to prevent irreparable damage to the oil pump.
It is essential that you use good quality oil to
lubricate the cutting parts effectively. Used or poor
quality oil does not guarantee good lubrication
and reduces the working life of the chain and bar.
IMPORTANT Never run the chain without
sufficient oil, this could damage the saw and
compromise safety.
Check the amount of oil in the chainsaw by
checking the oil level indicator (Fig. 20.B).
If the oil level is low, top up as follows:
1. Unscrew and remove the cap (Fig. 20.A) from
the oil tank.
2. Pour oil in the tank and monitor the level on the
indicator (Fig. 20.B).
3. Make sure no impurities penetrate the oil tank
when filling.
4. Screw on the oil cap and tighten it.
