Oiling the chain
We recommend that you use only Black & Decker oil
(A6027-50)during the lifetime of your chainsaw because
mixtures of different oils could lead to the oil becoming
degraded, which can drastically shorten the lifetime of the saw
chain and create additional risks.
It is normal for a small amount of excess oil drip from the
chain saw bar and chain during storage. Do not store chain
saw on top of any thing that may be damaged by the dripping
oil.
Never use waste oil, thick oil or very thin sewing machine oil.
These may damage your chainsaw.
The saw chain (6) must be oiled before each use and after
cleaning using only the correct grade of oil (cat. no. A6023-
QZ).
