GUIDE BAR MAmNTENANCE
Frequent lubrication of the guide bar (railed bar which
supports and carries the saw chain) sprocket tip is
required. Proper maintenance of the guide bar, as
explained in this section, is essential to keep your saw in
good working condition.

AUTOMATIC
OILER
Your chain saw is equipped with an automatic gear driven
oiler system. The oiler automatically delivers the proper
amount of oil to the bar and chain. As the engine speed
increases, so does the oil flow to the bar pad. There is no
flow adjustmenL The oil reservoir will run out at
approximately the same time as the fuel supply runs ouL
