COLD WEATHER OPERATION
If the saw is to used during cold weather, preheat the
hydraulic fluid at low engine speed. When using the
normally recommended oils, oil should be at or above
50 °F/10 °C (400 ssu/ 82 centistokes) before use.
Damage to the hydraulic system or saw can result from
use with fluid that is too viscous or thick.

crack and break at the back rivet hole unless proper

precautions are taken. To extend chain life when cutting
in cold weather:
5. Be sure the oiler is working.

7. Keep the cutters properly sharpened. Touch up at
least every hour. Never force a dull chain to cut.
8. Clean out the bar groove and keep the oil hole open.
Turn the bar over to equalize wear on the rails.

debris as follows:
1. Spray oil through the tool and displace any remaining

4. Cycle the tool hydraulically several times before
storing away.
