Chain Oiling
• A high quality bar and chain oil or
SAE30 weight motor oil should be
used for chain and bar lubrication.
The use of a vegetable based bar and
chain oil is recommended when pruning
trees. Mineral oil is not recommended
because it may harm trees. Never use
waste oil or very thick oil. These may
damage your chain saw.
• Lubricate the whole chain evenly before each use as shown
in figure J. Also lubricate the chain whenever replacing a fully
discharged battery with a fully charged one.
Transporting Saw
• Always remove the battery (4) from
the tool (figure K) and cover the
guide bar (6) with the scabbard
(10) (figure L) when transporting
the saw. See the warning under
"Battery Cap Information"
for additional information on
transporting the battery.
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
• Guard Against Kickback which can result in severe injury
or death. See important Safety instructions "Guard Against
Kickback", to avoid the risk of kickback.

the guide bar (6) when operating the chain saw.

a ladder or other unstable surface. You may lose control of saw

are cutting.
• Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only light pressure. Do not
put pressure on chain saw at end of cut.
