Chain Oil System

The bar and chain require continuous lubrication. Lubrication is
provided by the automatic oiler system when the oil tank is kept
filled. Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and chain. Too little oil
will cause overheating shown by smoke coming from the chain
and/or discoloration of the bar. In freezing weather oil will thicken,
making it necessary to thin bar and chain oil with a small amount
(5 to 10%) of Diesel Fuel or kerosene. Bar and chain oil must be
free flowing for the oil system to pump enough oil for adequate
lubrication.
CAUTION: Never use waste oil. Always use
biodegradable lubrificant that is specific for bar
and chain and that is better for the environment and
chainsaw's parts.
CAUTION: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise
contaminated oils. Damage may occur to the oil
pump, bar or chain.
WARNING: Do not use waste oil! Medical studies
have shown that renewed contact with waste oil
can cause skin cancer.
