Never work with the chain saw  withoute sufÞ cient chain lubri -
ca tion. Otherwise the service life of the chain and guide bar 
will be reduced. Before starting work check the oil level in the 
tank and the oil feed.

Check the oil feed rate as described below:

Start the chain saw (see „Starting the engine”).

Hold the running chain saw approx. 15 cm above a trunk or the 
ground (use an appropriate base).

If the lubrication is sufÞ cient, you will see a light oil trace be-
cause oil will be ß ung off the sawing device. Pay attention to the 
direction the wind is blowing and avoid unnecessary exposure 
to the oil spray!

After the saw has been turned off it is normal for residual chain 
oil to drip from the oil feed system, the guide bar and the chain 
for a time. This does not constitute a defect!

Place the saw on a suitable surface.

To ensure troublefree operation of the oil pump the oil guide 
groove at the crank case (2) and the oil inlet bore in the guide 
bar (3) must be cleaned regularly.

After the saw has been turned off it is normal for residual chain 
oil to drip from the oil feed system, the guide bar and the chain

Place the saw on a suitable surface.

You can adjust the oil pump feed rate with the adjusting screw    
(1). The adjusting screw is on the bottom side of the housing.

The oil pump comes factory-set to a medium feed rate.

To adjust the supply rate, use a small screwdriver to turn the 
adjusting screw:

•  to the right for a faster

•  to the left for a slower

oil feed rate.

Pick one of the three settings depending on the length of the 
guide bar.

While working make sure there is enough chain oil in the tank. 
If necessary, add oil.
