Filling the Bar and
Chain Oil Reservoir
IMPORTANT: Bar and chain oil prevents
premature wear. Never operate the pole
saw if oil is not visible. Check oil level
frequently and fill as needed.
Bar and chain oil is required to properly
lubricate the guide bar and saw chain The
pole saw is equipped with an automatic oiler
that deposits oil on the bar and chain when
running, keeping them properly lubricated Use
Oregon® bar and chain oil for best results It is
specially designed to provide low friction and
faster cuts NEVER use oil or other lubricants
not specifically designed for use on the bar and
chain This can lead to a clogged oil system,
which may cause premature wear of the bar
and chain
• Place the pole saw on its side on a firm, flat
surface, so that the oil cap is on top (Fig 7)
FIG. 7
• Clean any debris from the cap area
• Remove the cap
• Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the
reservoir
• Replace the cap and make sure oil is visible in
the reservoir
If oil is not visible in the reservoir, additional bar
and chain oil is necessary
