[. . . ] Tighten the chain until it no longer hangs slack beneath the bar. Use the combination spanner to tighten the blade nut while lifting the tip of the bar at the same time. Check that you can pull the chain round freely by hand. Poor lubrication of cutting equipment may cause the chain to snap and lead to serious, even fatal injuries. Chainsaw chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain and also maintain its flow caracteristics regardless of whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather. ⷠAs a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an ideal saw chain oil that is vegetable-based. 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. This is dangerous for yourself, the saw and the environment. A slack chain may jump off and cause serious or even fatal injury. The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up the slack. ⷠCheck the chain tension every time you refuel. A new chain has a running-in period during which you should check and adjust the chain tension more frequently. ⷠAs a rule the chain should be tensioned as tightly as possible, but not so tight that you cannot pull it round freely by hand. Filling with chain oil The oil pump is preset at the factory to meet most lubrication requirements and a full oil tank will last about half as long as a tank of fuel. You should therefore check the level in the oil tank regularly to avoid damaging the chain and bar by running out of oil. Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. Aim the tip of the saw at a light coloured surface about 20 cm away. After 1 minute running at 3/4 throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light surface. Whether rivets and links are badly worn. [. . . ] When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Fitting the cutting head (Saw attachment without shaft) Make sure that the drive shaft inside the shaft engages with the cutout in the cutting head. Fit the hanging ring between the rear handle and the loop handle. Position the hanging ring so that the machine is balanced and comfortable to work with. [. . . ]
