The adhesion agent in the saw chain oil prevents the oil from being thrown off the saw excessively quickly. Mineral oils must not be used, as they are harmful to the environment.

Before adding new fresh grease, carefully clean the 2 mm hole on the tip of the guide bar, then force a small quantity of multi-purpose grease (optional accessory) into the hole. - Clean the oil guide groove and the oil feed hole in the bar at regular intervals. Use two or three saw chains alternately, so that the saw chain, sprocket and running surfaces of the bar wear evenly. [. . . ]
