Checking chain lubrication
NOTICE! If the chainsaw is used with
too little oil, the cutting performance
and lifespan of the saw chain will de-
crease as the saw chain will become
blunt more quickly. You can recognise
insufficient oil by the smoke develop-
ment or discolouration of the blade
bar. Make sure that there is always
oil flowing onto the chain.
Notes
• Before starting work, check the oil
level.
• You can check the chain lubrica-
tion at any time during operation.
Procedure
1. While the saw chain is running:
Hold the chainsaw above clear
ground. Observe the trace of oil.
