Filling the oil tank and fuel tank
6. FILLING THE OIL TANK AND FUEL TANK
TO FILL THE OIL TANK
WARNING! Never use used oil! Waste oil is harmful to the environment and may result in damage. Chain
saw oil should be used to lubricate the saw chain and bar. Use oil that contains additives to reduce friction
and wear and to prevent resin build-up on the bar and chain.
WARNING! Before fi lling the oil tank, make sure that the chainsaw is turned off.
1. Be sure to clean the surface around the oil tank cap to prevent dirt from getting inside.
2. Unscrew the oil tank cap and pour in the chain saw oil (260 ml tank capacity).
3. Screw the oil tank cap back on.
4. Before you start, check the oil supply: switch on the chainsaw and hold it over suitable bedding. If it is
suffi ciently lubricated, a light trail of dripping oil will form (fi g. 12).
Fig. 12
WARNING! Always check the oil level. Do not operate the chain saw if there is insuffi cient oil to lubricate
the chain.
Proper lubrication is essential to reduce chain and bar friction. Operating a chain saw with insuffi cient lubrication
reduces performance and service life and causes fast chain and bar wear due to overheating. This chainsaw is
equipped with an automatic lubrication system that provides the necessary amount of lubrication to the bar and
chain. As the engine speed increases so does the oil supply to the bar.
TO FILL THE FUEL TANK
WARNING: When fi lling the tank:
The chainsaw must always be stopped and cooled.
Never smoke during refueling. It must not have fl ames or sparks near the fuel.
Before refueling, allow the chainsaw to cool completely. Do not attempt to refuel
when the engine is hot. If fuel has been spilled, immediately stop refueling and do not
start the engine. Clean up the spill and fi ll the machine in another location
Never fi ll the fuel tank to the fl ange; there is a risk of overfl ow.
Do not refuel in a closed and unventilated area.
