NThoroughly clean the oil filler cap and the area around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the tank.

NPosition the machine so that the filler cap faces up.

NOpen the filler cap.

Filling up with chain oil

NRefill the chain oil tank every time you refuel.

Take care not to spill chain oil while refilling and do not overfill the tank.

NClosing the Tank Cap

There must still be a small amount of oil in the oil tank when the fuel tank is empty.

If the oil level in the tank does not go down, the reason may be a fault in the oil supply system: Check chain lubrication, clean the oilways, contact your dealer

The saw chain must always throw off a small amount of oil.

NOTICE

Never operate your saw without chain lubrication. If the chain runs dry, the whole cutting attachment will be irretrievably damaged within a very short time. Always check chain lubrication and the oil level in the tank before starting work.

Every new chain has to be broken in for about 2 to 3 minutes.

After breaking in the chain, check chain tension and adjust if necessary – see "Checking Chain Tension".
