OPERATION

ADDING BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT
See Figure 7.
NOTE: Chain saw comes from the factory with
no bar and chain lubricant added. Level should
also be checked after every 20 minutes of use and
refilled as needed.
Use a bar and chain lubricant designed for lubri-
cating chain saw chains. They are formulated to
extend bar and chain life by protecting against
wear and reducing friction and heat.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise con-
taminated lubricants. Damage may occur to the
bar or chain.
 Remove oil cap.
 Carefully pour the bar and chain lubricant into
the tank.
 Wipe off excess lubricant.
 Check and fill the oil tank when quick view oil
indicator is below the second to last indicator
line.
 Repeat as needed.
NOTE: It is normal for lubricant 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.
