The engine must be switched o !
(Fig. 53)
ou can ad ust the oil pump feed rate with the ad usting screw
1) The ad usting screw is on the bottom side of the housing
The oil pump comes factory set to a minimum feed rate ou
can set the chain oil feed rate to minimum and ma imum feed
rate
To ad ust the supply rate use a small screwdriver to turn the
ad usting screw
to the right for a faster
to the left for a slower
oil feed rate
6-11. Starting the engine
Do not start the chain saw until after it is

Note:
After the saw has been turned o 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
Pic one of the two settings depending on the length of the
guide bar
While wor ing ma e sure there is enough chain oil in the tan
If necessary add oil
(Fig. 54)
To ensure troublefree operation of the oil pump the oil guide
groove at the cran case 2) and the oil inlet bore in the guide
bar 3) must be cleaned regularly
Note:
After the saw has been turned o it is normal for residual chain
oil to drip from the oil feed system the guide bar and the chain
