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".
