Chain Saw Oil; Saw Chain - Westfalia 76 59 90 Instruction Manual


The saw chain should be tensioned that
way, so the chain is not too loose and it
should be possible to lift it off the sword
a few millimetres.

Chain Saw Oil


The chain saw is delivered without chain saw oil. Fill into the oil tank chain
saw oil before using for the first time. Operating the chain saw without
chain saw oil will damage the chain saw and the sword.

Place the chain saw on a level surface and open the oil tank cap (4). Only
use bio-degradable chain saw oil. On the flag window of the filling hole you
can check the oil level.

While filling, make sure dirt cannot get into the oil tank. Dirt can damage
the built-in oil pump.

While cutting, make sure the oil level does not drop under the minimum
mark.

Saw Chain


Only use sharp chains. Dull chains can easily get jammed.

While working with new chains, regularly check the chain tension because
new chains can lengthen considerably upon initial operation.

The service life of a saw chain mainly depends on sufficient lubrication and
correct tensioning.

Do not tension a hot chain. After cooling down, the chain may shorten and
become over tensioned.
