deposit, clean the oil cap of the deposit before opening
it.
Close the cap of the oil level and clean if any oil has
fallen outside the deposit.
Check the level of the oil by looking at the oil level
gauge.
Note: The life span of the chain and bar guides depends
on the quality of the oil used. Do not use old or already
used oil! Only use oil that does not damage your
surroundings. Only store oil in homologated recipients.
