the chain and guide bar – use only an
environmentally compatible quality
chain and bar lubricant. Rapidly
biodegradable STIHL BioPlus is

the oil pump to seize.
The service life of the chain and guide
bar depends on the quality of the
lubricant. It is therefore essential to use
only a specially formulated chain
lubricant.
WARNING
Do not use waste oil.
Renewed contact
with waste oil can cause skin cancer.
Moreover, waste oil is environmentally
harmful.
