Lubrication of the cutting equipment
To do a check of the saw chain lubrication
Do a check of the chain saw lubrication each time you
refuel.
1. Start the product and let it run at 3/4 throttle. Aim the
tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20 cm
(8 inches) away.
2. After 1 minute running you should see a distinct line
of oil on the light surface.
What to do if the saw chain lubrication is not working
Do the following if the saw chain lubrication is not
working:
• Do a check of the oil channel in the bar to make sure
that it is not obstructed. Clean if necessary.
• Do a check of the groove in the edge of the bar to
make sure that it is clean. Clean if necessary.
• Make sure that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and
that the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not
blocked. Clean and lubricate if necessary.

If the chain lubrication system is still not working after
carrying out the steps above and associated measures,
contact your servicing dealer.
Chain drive sprocket
The clutch drum has a rim sprocket that is replaceable.
• Regularly do a visual check of the degree of wear on
the drive sprocket. Replace the chain drive sprocket
if there is too much wear.
• Replace the drive sprocket each time you replace
the saw chain.
To lubricate the needle bearing
Both versions of sprockets have a needle bearing on the
drive shaft, which has to be greased regularly (once a
week).
1. Disengage the chain brake by pulling the front hand
guard against the front handle.
2. Unscrew the two bar nuts and remove the clutch
cover.
3. Lay the product on its side with the clutch drum
facing upwards.
4. Remove the clutch drum and lubricate the needle
bearing using a grease gun. Use a high-quality
bearing grease or engine oil.
