Checking the chain lubrication
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!
Note:
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.

Adjusting the chain lubrication
The engine must be switched off.
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.
Adjustment range about 90°
