7.2 TOPPING UP THE CHAIN OIL TANK
NOTE The following symbol is found

the
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.
7.3 MACHINE AND BAR
LUBRICATION HOLES
Before daily use, remove the guard (Fig. 2. B),
disassemble the bar and check that machine
lubrication holes (Fig. 21.A) and guide bar (Fig.
21.B) are not clogged.
7.4 NUTS AND BOLTS
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Check regularly that the handles are fixed firmly.
