Saw chain oil
• Use saw chain oil of good adherence to the saw
chain. The saw chain oil must keep its viscosity in all
weather, for example, during hot summer or cold
winter.
• Use Husqvarna chain oil for maximum saw chain life
and to keep environmental damage to a minimum. If
Husqvarna saw chain oil is not available, use a
standard saw chain oil.
• In areas where oil for lubrication of saw chains is not
available, use EP 90 transmission oil.
Do a check of the level of oil in the oil tank regularly to
prevent damage to the saw chain and guide bar.
