1. From bottom of gear case, turn adjustment screw (A) clockwise to
decrease oil volume - counter clockwise to increase oil volume.
NOTE
The automatic oiler is preset to deliver a sufficient oil discharge
volume during normal operating conditions. During heavy or dry
cutting conditions, the oil discharge volume may be increased to
assure adequate lubrication. If oil is leaking from the bar cover
area, reduce the oil discharge volume. Refill the oil reservoir with
each tank of fuel.
NOTE
Very little visible oil on the saw chain will provide sufficient
lubrication.
