Lubrication

Your cutting systems operates in challenging environments and
depend on sufficient lubrication to minimize wear and extend the
life of operation .
Both bar and chain oils and grease can provide adequate
lubrication to the cutting system when used correctly .
When using grease, ideal settings can vary based on temperature
and other work-site conditions . Always begin by consulting your
manufacturer's recommendations .
Regular inspection of your cutting system will let you know if any
adjustments are needed .
• Both hydraulic fluid and used motor oil are not approved
lubricants and their use can the warranty of your cutting
system .
• Hydraulic fluid does not provide sufficient properties for
preventing wear of your cutting system .
• Used oils may contain acidic compounds and abrasive
particles that can compromise the cutting system's
effectiveness and increase wear .
