Adjusting the chain lubrication
The engine must be switched off.
You can adjust the oil pump feed rate with the adjusting screw
(1).
The oil pump comes factory-set to a medium feed rate.
To change the rate of oil supply turn the adjustment screw
• to the right for more
• to the left for less
oil.
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.

Checking the chain lubrication
Never work with the chain saw without sufficient chain
lubrication. 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. 6" (15 cm) above a trunk
or the ground (use an appropriate base).
If the lubrication is sufficient, you will see a light oil trace
because oil will be flung 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.
