GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous to you and damage the machine and environment.

IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain oil, dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw chain before long-term storage. Otherwise there is a risk of the saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw chain becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming.

Filling with chain oil

•All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication system. On some models the oil flow is also adjustable.

•The saw chain oil tank is designed to last aproximately three battery charges. However, this safety feature requires that you use the right sort of chain oil (if the chain oil is to thin it will last shorter time).

•Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil pump, the bar and the chain.

•It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.

•In temperatures below 0°C (32°F) some oils become too viscous. This can overload the oil pump and result in damage to the oil pump components.

•Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.

Checking chain lubrication

•Check the chain lubrication every third battery charge. See instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip sprocket. See instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip sprocket.

Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20 cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface.

If the chain lubrication is not working:

•Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed. Clean if necessary.

•Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean. Clean if necessary.

•Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked. Clean and lubricate if necessary.

If the chain lubrication system is still not working after carrying out the above checks and associated measures you should contact your service agent.

Chain drive sprocket

Li-ion

The drive system is fitted with a drive sprocket.

Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket. Replace if wear is excessive.
