14 Checking Chain Lubrica‐
tion
390BA048 KN
The saw chain must always throw off a small
amount of oil.
NOTICE
Never operate without chain lubrication. If the
chain runs dry, the whole cutting attachment will
be irretrievably damaged within a very short time.
Always check chain lubrication and the oil level
in the tank before starting work.
Every new chain has to be broken in for about 2
to 3 minutes.
After breaking in the chain, check chain tension
and adjust if necessary – see "Checking Chain
Tension".
15 Fitting the Harness
Not all basic power tools are equipped with a
shoulder strap and carrying ring.
► Fit the carrying ring – see "Mounting the
Attachment".
The shoulder strap is available as a special
accessory.
The type of carrying ring, shoulder strap and car‐
abiner depends on the market and the basic
power tool.
