Different quantities of oil are required for 
different bar lengths, types of wood and 
cutting techniques.
: Use the adjusting screw (1) (on 
underside of machine) to vary the 
oil feed rate as required. 
: E = Ematic position, medium oil flow 
rate - turn adjusting screw to "E" 
(Ematic position)
: To increase oil feed – turn adjusting 
screw clockwise.
: To reduce oil feed – turn adjusting 
screw counter-clockwise.
Your chain must always be wetted 
with a film of lubricant.
* Special accessory
: Turn the bar over – 
every time you sharpen the chain 
and every time you replace the 
chain – this helps avoid one-sided 
wear, especially at the nose and 
underside of the bar.
: Regularly clean 
the oil inlet hole (1), 
the oilway (2) and 
the bar groove (3).
: Measure groove depth – 
with scale on filing gauge* – in area 
used most for cutting.
* see “Guide to Using this Manual”
If groove depth is less than specified:
: Replace the guide bar.
The drive link tangs will otherwise 
scrape along the bottom of the groove – 
the cutters and tie straps will not ride on 
the bar rails.
