Lubricating cutting equipment
Chain oil
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain
and also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of
whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an
optimal chain oil which, with its v
egetable oil base, is also
biodegradable. We recommend the use of Universal
Outdoor Accessories Chain Oil (Bio) for both maximum
chain life and to minimise enviromental damage. If
Universal Outdoor Accessories Chain Oil (Bio) is not
available, standard chain oil is recommended.
Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous
to you and damage the machine and environment.
Filling with chain oil
• All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil flow is also
adjustable.
• The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed
so that the fuel r
uns out before the saw chain oil.
However, this safety feature requires that you use the
r
ight sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out
before the fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as
recommended (a lean mixture may mean that the fuel
lasts longer than the oil) and that you also use the
recommended cutting equipment (a bar that is too
long will use more chain oil).
Checking chain lubrication
• Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. See
instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip
sprocket.
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about
20 cm (8 inches) a
way. After 1 minute running at 3/4
throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light
surface.
If the chain lubrication is not working:
• Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Clean if necessar
y.
• Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
Clean if necessary.
• Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that
the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked.
Clean and lubricate if necessary.
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after
carr
ying out the above checks and associated measures
you should contact your service agent.
Chain drive sprocket
The clutch drum is fitted with a Spur sprocket (the chain
sprocket is welded on the drum (D)).
(4)
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.
Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket
whenever you replace the chain.
Checking wear on cutting equipment
Check the chain daily for:
• Visible cracks in rivets and links.
• Whether the chain is stiff.
• Whether rivets and links are badly worn.
Replace the saw chain if it exhibits any of the points
above.
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a
new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.
When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to
only 4 mm the chain m
ust be replaced.
(9)
Guide bar
Check regularly:
• Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar (A).
Remo
ve these with a file if necessary.
(19)
• Whether the groove in the bar has become badly worn
(B). Replace the bar if necessary.
(19)
• Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If
a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is
due to running with a slack chain.
• To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over
daily
.
!
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
equipment may cause the chain to snap,
which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain
oil, dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw
chain before long-term storage. Otherwise there is a risk
of the saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw
chain becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming.
!
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents
happen when the chain touches the
operator.
Wear personal protective equipment. See
instructions under the heading ”Personal
protective equipment”.
Do not tackle any job that you feel you
are not adequately trained for. See
instructions under the headings
Personal protective equipment, How to
avoid kickback, Cutting equipment and
General working instructions.
Avoid situations where there is a risk of
kickback. See instructions under the
heading Machine
′′
′′
s safety equipment.
Use the recommended protective
equipment and check its condition. See
instructions under the heading General
working instructions.
Check that all the chain saw safety
features are working. See instructions
under the headings General working
instructions and General safety
precautions.
