To do a check of the saw chain
lubrication
Do a check of the saw chain lubrication each third
battery charge.
1. Start the product and let it run at 3/4 power. Hold
the bar approximately 20 cm (8 inches) above a light
colored surface.
2. If the saw chain lubrication is correct, you will see a
clear line of oil on the surface after 1 minute. (Fig.
145)
3. If the saw chain lubrication is not correct, do the
following checks.
a) Do a check of the oil channel in the guide bar
to make sure that it is not blocked. Clean if
necessary. (Fig. 146)
b) Do a check of the groove in the edge of the
guide bar to make sure that it is clean. Clean if
necessary. (Fig. 147)
c) Make sure that the bar tip sprocket turns freely
and that the lubricating hole in the guide bar tip
sprocket is not blocked. Clean and lubricate if
necessary. (Fig. 148)
4. If the saw chain lubrication does not work after
following the steps above, speak to your servicing
dealer.
