Checking Chain Lubrication

The saw chain must always spin off a
small amount of oil.
NOTICE
Never work without chain lubrication! If
the saw chain runs dry, the cutting
attachment may very quickly be
damaged beyond repair. Before starting
work, always check the chain lubrication
and oil level in the tank.
Every new saw chain needs a run-in
time of 2 to 3 minutes.
After the saw chain has run in, check the
tension of the chain and correct if
necessary – see "Checking Chain
Tension".
