Filling the oil tank:
1. Set the chainsaw on any suitable surface with the oil filler cap facing upward.
2. Clean the area around the oil filler cap; using a cloth, unscrew the cap.
3. Add the chainsaw oil until the reservoir is full, do not overfill. Notice the oil
level in the oil reservoir window on the right side of the chainsaw.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering the oil tank, refit the oil filler cap (4) and tighten.
IMPORTANT: To allow venting of the oil reservoir, small breather channels
are provided between the oil filler cap and the strainer. To prevent
leakage, ensure the machine is left in a horizontal position (oil filler cap (4)
uppermost) when not in use.
It is important to use only the recommended oil to avoid damage to
the chainsaw. Never use recycled/old oil. Use of non-approved oil will
invalidate the warranty.
Checking the automatic oil function:
Check the automatic operation of the chain lubrication by pointing the tip of the
switched-on saw towards a piece of paper laying on the ground; if a patch of
oil appears and becomes larger, then the automatic oil function is working. If
there are no traces of oil even though the oil tank is full, then the automatic oil
function is not working.
If the automatic oil function is not working, remove the chain bar and clean out
the oil airways of the chainsaw and chain bar. On reassembly, if the chainsaw
is still not working, take the chainsaw to an authorised dealer.
