Filling chain oil
•
All our chain saw models feature automatic chain lubrication.
Checking automatic chain lubrication system
•
Start the chain saw and point the guide bar towards a fixed, light-coloured object
at a distance of approximately 20 cm. After running the saw for a minute, a streak
of oil spatter should be clearly visible on the light surface.
•
A full reservoir is sufficient for 20 minutes of steady use.
•
If the lubrication system does not seem to be working, and the following
steps do not help, take your saw to a service dealer.
- Check the guide bar's oil passage and clean if necessary.
- Check guide bar groove and clean if necessary.
- Ensure that the nose sprocket turns easily and is not clogged.
Clean and grease if necessary.
Checking chain wear
•
Inspect chain every day for:
- Visible cracks in rivets or links.
- Stiffness.
- Abnormal wear in rivets or links.
- Min. 3 mm (1/8") horizontal cutter length.
- Any deviation on any of these points indicates a worn chain which must
be discarded.
Checking drive sprocket
•
Check drive sprocket wear regularly and replace when wear becomes excessive.
