To use the correct chain oil

WARNING: 

Do not use waste oil,

which can cause injury to you and the

environment. Waste oil also causes damage

to the oil pump, the guide bar and the saw

chain.

WARNING: 

The saw chain can break

if the lubrication of the cutting equipment is

not sufficient. Risk of serious injury or death

to the operator.

WARNING: 

Use the correct chain oil

for this function to operate correctly. Speak

to your servicing dealer when you select

your chain oil.

• Use universal chain oil OLO023 for maximum saw

chain life and to prevent negative effects on the

environment. If universal chain oil OLO023 is not

available, we recommend you to use a standard

chain oil.

• Use a chain oil with good adherence to the saw

chain.

• Use a chain oil with correct viscosity range that

agrees with the air temperature.

CAUTION: 

In temperatures below

0°C/32°F some chain oils become too

thick, which can cause damage to the oil

pump components.

• Use the recommended cutting equipment. Refer to

Accessories on page 25

.

• Remove the cap to the chain oil tank.
• Fill the chain oil tank with chain oil.
• Attach the cap carefully.

Kickback information

WARNING: 

A kickback can cause

serious injury or death to the operator or

others. To decrease the risk you must know

the causes of kickback and how to prevent

them.

A kickback occurs when the kickback zone of the guide

bar touches an object. A kickback can occur suddenly

and with large force, which throws the product in the

direction of the operator.
(Fig. 28)
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the guide

bar. Usually, the product is thrown against the operator

but can also move in a different direction. It is how you

use the product when the kickback occurs that causes

the direction of the movement.
(Fig. 48)
Kickback only occurs if the kickback zone of the guide

bar touches an object. Do not let the kickback zone

touch an object.
(Fig. 28)
A smaller bar tip radius decreases the force of the

kickback.
Use a low kickback saw chain to decrease the effects of

kickback. Do not let the kickback zone touch an object.

WARNING: 

No saw chain fully

prevents kickback. Always obey the

instructions.

Common questions about kickback

• Will the hand always engage the chain brake during

a kickback?
No. It is necessary to use some force to push the

front hand guard forward. If you do not use the force

necessary, the chain brake will not be engaged. You

must also hold the handles of the product stable with

two hands during work. If a kickback occurs, it is

possible that the chain brake does not stop the saw

chain before it touches you. There are also some

positions in which your hand can not touch the front

hand guard to engage the chain brake.

• Will the inertia release mechanism always engage

the chain brake during kickback?
No. First, the chain brake must operate correctly.

Refer to 

Maintenance and checks of the safety

devices on the product on page 20

 for instructions

about how to do a check of the chain brake. We

recommend you to do this each time before you

use the product. Second, the force of the kickback

must be large to engage the chain brake. If the chain

brake is too sensitive, it can engage during rough

operation.
