• Release the knob by folding it out.

• Turn the knob anti clockwise to loosen the bar cover.

• Adjust the tension on the chain by turning the wheel

down (+) for tighter tension and up (-) to loosen the

tension.

• Tighten the bar clutch by turning the knob clockwise.

• Fold the knob back in to lock the tensioning.

Lubricating cutting equipment

Chain oil

Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain

and also maintain its ﬂow characteristics regardless of

whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.

As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an

optimal chain oil which has a vegetable oil base. We

recommend the use of our own oil for both maximum

chain life and to minimise environmental damage. If our

own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is

recommended.

Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous

to you and damage the machine and environment.

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 and the fuel tank are designed

so that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil.

However, this safety feature requires that you use the

right sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out

before the fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as

recommended (a weak mixture may mean that the

fuel lasts longer than the oil) and that you also use the

recommended cutting equipment (a bar that is too

long will use more chain oil). The above conditions

also apply to chain saw models with an adjustable oil

pump.

!

WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting

equipment may cause the chain to snap,

which could lead to serious, even fatal

injuries.

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.
