CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the trigger switch actuates properly
and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
Lubrication
Turn the tool on and then depress the oil
button 4 or 5
times. Let the oil get around
the bar groove and penetrate before cut-
ting. For continuous operation, lubricate
the tool for every log having a diameter of
about 200"
(8')
by depressing the
button 4 or 5 times. For greater thickness,
depress the button several times a t some
point in the cutting.

Insufficient oiling will cause wear on the rivets, rough chain travel and high chain tension.
Use in such conditions will put a great load on the motor, and the overload protector may
cut out. Unplug the saw and pump the oil plunger 5 or 6 times while running the saw
chain around by hand. After enough lubrication, resume sawing operations.
