 Repeat as needed.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise
contaminated oils. Damage may occur to the
bar or chain.
NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw
when not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the
oil tank after each use then run for one minute.
When storing the unit for a long period of time
(three months or longer) be sure the chain is lightly
lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain and
bar sprocket.

the opening in the side of the rear handle and
place over cord hitch.
 Slowly pull loop against cord retainer until the
slack is removed.
 Plug chain saw into extension cord.
NOTE: Failure to remove all excess cord slack
from extension cord retainer could result in plug
loosening from receptacle.

Always make sure the tool is unplugged from
