ASSEMBLY

asseMBly
unpacking
Some chainsaw kits come completely
assembled. If the chainsaw has been
packaged without the saw chain and
guide bar installed, see Replacing the Bar
and Chain in this manual for installation
instructions. After removing the
chainsaw from its box, inspect it carefully
to make sure no damage has occurred
during shipping.
Some chainsaw kits come with metal
bucking spikes as an accessory.
Depending on user technique, the
metal bucking spikes may increase the
stability of the chainsaw during felling.
The metal bucking spikes may reduce
the cut quality during pruning, again
depending on user technique.
Inspect the chainsaw for missing parts.
If any parts are damaged or missing,
contact OREGON® PowerNow™ to obtain
replacement parts.

After unpacking the chainsaw, check
the position of the hand guard. The
chainsaw will not run with the chain
brake engaged. Pull the hand guard
back towards the front handle before
operation (Fig. 4).

filling oil reservoir
Bar and chain oil is required to
properly lubricate the bar and chain.
Use OREGON® bar and chain oil for
best results. It is specially designed to
provide low friction and faster cuts.
NEVER use oil or other lubricants not
specifically designed for use on the bar
and chain. This can lead to a clogged
oil system, which may cause premature
wear of the bar and chain.
Place the chainsaw on its side on a firm,
flat surface, so that the oil cap is on
top (Fig. 5). After cleaning any debris
from the cap area, remove the cap and
carefully pour the bar and chain oil into
the reservoir. Fill to the bottom of the
fill neck. Replace the cap, place the saw
upright, and view the level through the
oil inspection window. Oil should fill the
window.
caution: cHeck oil level
freQuently and fill as needed.
never operate tHe cHainsaW if
oil is not visiBle.
