AVOID SKIN AND EYE CONTACT

D

Mineral oil products degrease your skin. If your skin comes in contact with these substances repeatedly and for an extended period of time, it will desiccate. Various skin deseases may result. In addition, allergic reactions are known to occur.

Eyes can be irritated by contact with oil. If oil comes into your eyes, immediately wash them with clear water.

If your eyes are still irritated, see a doctor immediately!

FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON PAGE 7!

Be careful and cautious when handling fuels.

The engine must be switched off!

-Thoroughly clean the area around the caps, to prevent dirt from getting into the fuel or oil tank.

-Unscrew the cap and fill the tank with fuel (fuel/oil mixture) or chain oil as the case may be. Fill up to the bottom edge of the filler neck. Be careful not to spill fuel or chain oil!

-Tightly screw on the cap.

Clean screw cap and tank after refuelling.

Lubricating the chain

During operation there must always be sufficient chain oil in the chain-oil tank to provide good chain lubrication. One filling is sufficient for about one half-hour of continuous operation.

The engine must be switched off.

You can adjust the oil pump feed rate with the adjusting screw (F/1). The adjusting screw is located in the housing underneath the sprocket guard (F/2). It is accessible from below.

The oil pump comes factory-set to a medium feed rate.

Note: To set from minimum to maximum oil supply, turn the adjusting screw (F/1 with adjustment markings) max. a 1/4-turn.

To ensure troublefree operation of the oil pump the oil guide groove at the crank case (G/3) and the oil inlet bore in the guide bar (G/4) must be cleaned regularly.

To change the feed quantity use the universal wrench and adjust the adjusting screw (F/1) in the following way:

-Turn to the right to reduce the feed rate.

-Turn to the left to increase the feed rate.

Note: After the saw has been turned off it is normal for residual chain oil to drip from the oil feed system, the guide bar and the chain for a time. This does not constitute a defect!

Place the saw on a suitable surface.
