7.3 TOPPING UP THE CHAIN OIL TANK

NOTE The following symbol is found
near the chain oil tank cap (fig. 35.A):
Chain oil tank
IMPORTANT Only use chainsaw oil or
adhesive oil for chainsaws. Do not use oil
containing impurities so as not to block the oil filter
and to prevent irreparable damage to the oil pump.
It is essential that you use good quality oil to
lubricate the cutting parts effectively. Used or poor
quality oil does not guarantee good lubrication
and reduces the working life of the chain and bar.
IMPORTANT Never run the chain without
sufficient oil, this could damage the saw and
compromise safety.
Check the amount of oil in the chainsaw by
checking the oil level indicator (Fig. 35.B).
If the oil level is low, top up as follows:
1. Unscrew and remove the cap (Fig. 35.A) from
the oil tank.
2. Pour oil in the tank and monitor the level on the
indicator (Fig. 35.B).
3. Make sure no impurities penetrate the oil tank
when filling.
4. Screw on the oil cap and tighten it.

7.4 CLEANING

7.4.1 Cleaning the machine and the motor
After every work session, clean the machine
thoroughly to remove all dust and debris.
• To reduce fire hazards, keep the machine and,
in particular, the motor free of leaves, branches
or excessive grease.
• Always clean the machine after use with a damp
cloth dipped in neutral detergent.
• Remove all traces of humidity using a soft damp
cloth. Humidity can generate risks of electric
shocks.
• Do not use aggressive detergents or solvents to
clean the plastic parts or hand grips.
• Do not spray water onto the motor and electrical
components and prevent them from getting wet.
• To avoid overheating and damage to the motor
or the battery, always keep the cooling air vents
clean and free of debris.
7.4.2 Cleaning the chain
Remove any traces of sawdust or oil deposits from
the chain every time it is used.
If there is excessive dirt or resin build-up,
disassemble the chain and place it in a container
with a specific cleanser for a few hours. Then
rinse it with clean water and treat it with a suitable
anticorrosive spray, before reassembling on the
machine.

7.5 CHAIN CATCHER

Check the chain stop pin conditions before each
use (Fig. 1.G) and repair in the event of damages.
7.6 MACHINE AND BAR LUBRICATION
HOLES
Before daily use, remove the guard (par. 4.2),
disassemble the bar and check that machine
lubrication holes (Fig. 36.A) and guide bar (Fig.
36.B) are not clogged.

7.7 NUTS AND BOLTS

• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Check regularly that the handles are fixed firmly.
