Checking the chain lubrication
Never work with the chain saw without sufcient chain
lubri ca tion. Otherwise the service life of the chain and guide
bar will be reduced. Before starting work check the oil level in
the tank and the oil feed.
Check the oil feed rate as described below:
Start the chain saw (see “Starting the engine”).
Hold the running chain saw approx. 6” (15 cm) above a trunk
or the ground (use an appropriate base).
If the lubrication is sufcient, you will see a light oil trace
because oil will be ung off the sawing device. Pay attention
to the direction the wind is blowing and avoid unnecessary
exposure to the oil spray!
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.
To ensure troublefree operation of the oil pump the oil guide
groove at the crank case (2) and the oil inlet bore in the guide
bar (3) must be cleaned regularly.
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!

Adjusting the chain lubrication
The engine must be switched off!
You can adjust the oil pump feed rate with the adjusting
screw (1). The adjusting screw is on the bottom side of the
housing.
The oil pump is factory-set to the minimum feed rate. Two
settings are possible - minimum and maximum feed rate.
To adjust the supply rate, use a small screwdriver to turn the
adjusting screw:
• to the right for a faster
• to the left for a slower
oil feed rate.
Select one of the two settings, depending on the guide bar
length.
While working, make sure there is enough chain oil in the
tank. If necessary, add oil.
