Checking Chain Lubrication

The saw chain must always throw off a

NOTICE
Never operate your saw without chain
lubrication. If the chain runs dry, the
whole cutting attachment will be
irretrievably damaged within a very short

Every new chain has to be broken in for

After breaking in the chain, check chain
