Chain oil
All Husqvarna chainsaws have an automatic chain
lubrication system. On some models the oil flow is also
adjustable.
Chain oil must show good adherence to the saw chain
and also keep its flow characteristics during warm
summer and cold winter weather.
The chain oil from Husqvarna has a vegetable oil base
and is also biodegradable. We recommend you to use of
our chain oil for maximum saw chain life and to minimise
environmental damage. If this chain oil is not available,
we recommend you to use a standard chain oil.
The fuel runs out before the chain oil from the two tanks.
This is a safety feature and it is necessary that you
follow the requirements below:
• Use an oil of the right grade (suitable viscosity
range) to agree with the air temperature. If the oil is
too thin it will run out before the fuel. In temperatures
below 0°C (32°F) some oils become too viscous.
This can cause the oil pump to overload and result in
damage to the oil pump components.
• Adjust the carburetor as recommended. A lean
mixture causes the chain oil tank to empty before the
fuel tank.
• Use the recommended cutting equipment. A guide
bar that is too long will use more chain oil.
WARNING: Do not use waste oil! Waste oil
is dangerous to you and the environment.
Waste oil also causes damage to the oil
pump, the guide bar and the saw chain.
WARNING: Deficiente lubrication of the
cutting equipment can cause the saw chain
to break, which can cause serious injury or
death.
Consult your servicing dealer when you select a chain
oil.

3. Fill the fuel tank and the chain oil tank at the same
time. The capacities of the chain oil tank and fuel
tank are carefully correlated.
4. Tighten the fuel tank cap carefully.
5. Move the product 3 m (10 ft) or more away from the
refueling area and source before starting.
CAUTION: Contamination in the tanks
causes malfunction. Clean the fuel tank and
chain oil tank regularly and replace the fuel
filter one time a year or more.
To start the product
To prepare start with a cold engine
1. Engage the chain brake by moving the front hand
guard forward.
WARNING: The chain brake must be
engaged when the chainsaw is started to
decrease the risk that the saw chain
touches you during start.
2. Pull the red control out and up to set the start/stop
switch in the choke position. (1)
3. Press the decompression valve to decrease the
pressure in the cylinder and make starting easier.
The valve automatically goes back to its default
position when the product starts. (2)
