is seated in the lower corner of the tank. If ne-
cessary, use a long screwdriver to move the
fi lter to its correct position, taking care not to
damage in the process.
7. Fill tank with fresh fuel / oil mixture. See Sec-
tion Fuel and Lubrication. Install fuel cap.
7.2.3 Spark plug (Fig. 15A-15C)

7.2.4 Carburetor setting
The carburetor has been set to its perfect adjust-
ment at the factory. If it requires adjusting, take the
saw to your nearest authorized after-sales service
outlet.
7.2.5 Chain bar
•
Grease the guide rail starwheel after every 10
hours of operation. This is necessary to get
the best performance from your chainsaw.
(Fig. 16) Clean the lube hole, then place the
lube gun (not included) at the hole and pump
grease into the bearing until grease is forced
out.
•
Clean the groove which the chain runs in as
well as the oil entry hole on a regular basis
using a commercially available cleaning tool.
(Fig. 17A) This is important to ensure optimal
lubrication of the guide rail and chain during
operation.
•
Remove burrs and sharp edges on the guide
rail (2) by carefully filing them down with a flat
file. (Fig. 17B)
•
Turn the guide rail (2) around after every 8
hours of operation so that it wears evenly on
the top and bottom.
Oil passages
Oil passages on the bar should be cleaned to en-
sure proper lubrication of the bar and chain during
operation.
Note: The condition of the oil passages can be
easily checked. If the passages are clear, the
chain will automatically give off a spray of oil
within seconds of starting the saw. Your saw is
equipped with an automatic oiler system.
Automatic chain lubrication.
The chain saw is equipped with an automatic oil
lubrication system with a toothed wheel drive. It
automatically supplies the bar and the chain with
the right quantity of oil. The moment the engine is
accelerated, the oil also starts to fl ow through the
bar plate more quickly as well.
The chain lubrication system has been set to its
perfect adjustment at the factory. If it requires
adjusting, take the saw to your nearest authorized
after-sales service outlet.
