Checking the chain lubrication

Never work with the chain saw  without suf

Þ

 cient 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. 15 cm above a trunk or the 
ground (use an appropriate base).

If the lubrication is suf

Þ

cient, you will see a light oil trace becau-

se oil will be 

ß

ung off the chain. 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!

Place the saw on a suitable surface.

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 set-
tings 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.
