GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL
The chain oiler provides lubrication to
the chain and guide bar. Be sure to fill
the bar oil tank before each cutting ses-
sion. For maximum guide bar and chain
life, we recommend you use Craftsman
chain saw bar oil. If Craftsman bar oil is
not available, you may use a good
grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to
obtain Craftsman brand. Use a funnel to
fill the tank. Replace oil cap securely.
