   - Undo the bar nut.

   - Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw 
clockwise. Use a combination spanner or turn by hand. 
The chain should be tensioned until it fits snugly on the 
underside of the bar.

   - Tighten the bar nut using the combination spanner. 
Check that the chain can be pulled round easily by hand.

•

Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the 
chain and also maintain its flow characteristics 
regardless of whether it is warm summer or cold 
winter weather.

•

As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an 
optimal chain oil which, with its vegetable oil base, is 
also biodegradable. We recommend the use of our 
own oil for both maximum chain life and to minimise 
environmental damage.

•

If our own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil 
is recommended.

•

In areas where oil specifically for lubrication of saw 
chains is unavailable, ordinary EP 90 transmission oil 
may be used.

•

Never use waste oil!  This is dangerous for yourself, 
the machine and the environment.

The oil pump is preset at the factory to satisfy most 
lubrication requirements. A full oil tank normally lasts 
about the same time as a full fuel tank. Therefore check 
the amount of oil in the oil tank when filling the fuel to 
prevent damage to the saw chain and bar that may arise 
due to a lack of lubrication.

•

Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. Aim 
the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about 20 
cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 
throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light 
surface.

When cutting dry or hard species of wood it may be 
necessary to increase lubrication. Turn the adjuster screw 
anticlockwise to increase the oil flow. Remember that this 
will increase oil consumption, check the level in the oil 
tank regularly. Turn the adjuster screw clockwise to 
decrease the oil flow.
