Checking Chain Lubrication; Fitting The Harness - Stihl HT-KM Instruction Manual

Checking Chain Lubrication

The saw chain must always throw off a
small amount of oil.
NOTICE
Never operate your machine 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".
