11.4 Adjusting Oil Feed Rate

The chainsaw has an adjustable oil pump.
2 1
The oil feed rate is suitable for most applications when the
oil pump adjusting screw (1) is in position E (Ematic).
26
The oil pump feed rate can be adjusted to suit different bar
lengths, wood species and working techniques. The range of
adjustment of the oil pump adjusting screw (1) is limited by
a stop (2). The stop (2) can be depressed in order to further
increase the oil feed rate.
To increase oil feed rate
► Turn the oil pump adjusting screw (1) clockwise.
To increase oil feed rate still further
► Use a suitable tool to depress the stop (2).
The stop (2) remains permanently depressed.
NOTICE
The oil tank will be drained at a faster rate if the oil pump
adjusting screw (1) is in the 'A' segment. The point where the
saw chain is no longer being lubricated properly will be
reached sooner.
► Fill the oil tank to maximum.
► Move the oil pump adjusting screw away from the 'A'
segment when the increased oil flow rate is no longer
required.
► Turn the oil pump adjusting screw (1) clockwise.
To reduce oil feed rate
► Turn the oil pump adjusting screw (1) counterclockwise.
