the cutting performance and lifespan of the
saw chain will decrease as the saw chain
will become blunt more quickly. You can
identify when there is too little oil if smoke
develops or the blade bar changes colour.
1. Switch the petrol chainsaw on, as de-
scribed in the chapter "Switching on/
off".
2. Hold it above clear ground. The petrol
chainsaw should not touch the ground!
If a trace of oil appears, the petrol
chainsaw is working flawlessly.
Pay attention to the wind direction
and do not expose yourself unneces-
sarily to such lubricating oil mist.
If a small trace of oil appears: Ad-
just the oil flow.
Illustration
: On the underside of the
chainsaw is a screw (25) with which you
can control the oil flow:
Anticlockwise rotation: high oil flow
Clockwise rotation: low oil flow
If no trace of oil appears:
Clean the oil passage (
fault-free, automatic oiling of the saw chain
during operation.

Use a brush or a cloth to help remove resi-
dues from the oil passage (28).
Removing the blade bar/saw chain,
see chapter "Removing/mounting
the blade bar".
If cleaning the oil passage is unsuc-
cessful, have the petrol chainsaw re-
paired by our customer service. Contact
our service centre for this.

Removing/mounting the
blade bar
Caution! Please be aware that the
petrol chainsaw may leak oil after
use if it is stored on its side or head.
This is a normal occurrence and is caused
by the ventilation opening on the top edge
of the tank which is a necessary compo-
nent; this is not grounds for complaint.
Since every petrol chainsaw is inspected
and tested using oil during manufacture, a
small amount of oil may remain in the tank
after emptying, which may slightly dirty the
housing during transport. Please clean the
housing with a cloth.
Mounting the saw chain and
blade bar
1. Switch off the device, disconnect the
spark plug connector (
the device cool down.
2. Place the device on a level surface.
3. Pull the chain brake lever (12) to the
front handle (1).
4. Turn the small screw (14) with the com-
bination tool (17) anticlockwise in or-
der to remove the tension from the saw
chain (9).
5. Unscrew the two nuts (15) of the spro-
cket cover (13) using the combination
tool (17).
6. Remove the sprocket cover (13).
7. Push the blade bar (10) towards the
chain sprocket (27) and remove the
saw chain (9) and then the blade bar
(10).
Prior to changing the saw chain, the
groove of the guide rail must be cleaned
of dirt because dirt deposits available
can cause the saw chain to break out of
the rail. The deposits can also absorb the
chain oil. So the consequence would be
