lifted by around 2 mm in the middle of the cutter rail. As the saw chain
heats up during cutting and thus changes in length, check the chain
tension no less than every 10 minutes and adjust it again as required.
This applies in particular to new saw chains. When you have fi nished
working slacken the chain again, as the chain will shorten when it
cools down. This will prevent the chain from being damaged.
5.2.c Saw chain lubrication
Caution! Always remove the battery from the device before inspec-
tion and adjustment. Always wear protective gloves when working on
the chainsaw to protect yourself against injury.
Important! Never operate the chain if it is not lubricated with saw
chain oil. Use of the chainsaw without saw chain oil or if the oil level is
below the viewing window will result in damage to the chainsaw!
Important! Be aware of the temperature conditions: diff erent lubri-
cants with completely diff erent viscosities are required at diff erent
ambient temperatures. At lower temperatures you will need low visco-
sity oils in order to achieve a suffi cient lubricating fi lm. However, if the
same low viscosity oil is used during the summer it will become even
thinner due to the ambient temperatures alone, and as a result the
lubricating fi lm could break down, causing the chain to overheat and
become damaged. In addition, the chain oil would burn and produce
unnecessary pollutants.
Filling the oil tank (Fig. 11):
•
Place the chainsaw on a flat surface.
•
Clean the area around the oil tank cover (Item 31) and then clean
the oil tank cover.
•
Fill the tank (Item 30) with saw chain oil. In the process, make sure
that no dirt enters the tank, as this could cause the oil nozzle to
become blocked.
•
Close the oil tank cover (Item 31).
