Saw Chain and Guide Bar Oiling (Fig.J)
Auto Oiling System
This chain saw is equipped with an auto oiling system that
keeps the saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated.
1. The oil level indicator
10
shows the level of the oil in the
chainsaw. If the oil level is less than a quarter full, remove
the battery from the chainsaw and refill the oil tank with the
correct type of oil.
2. Always empty oil tank when finishedcutting.
NOTE: Do not to operate this chainsaw without oil.
NOTE: Always use a high-quality, biodegradable bar and chain
oil for proper saw chain and bar lubrication. When pruning
trees, vegetable-based bar and chain oil is recommended, as
mineral-based oils may harm living trees. Never use dirty, used,
or contaminated oil. Doing so may damage the tool.
Replacement chain and bar are available from your
nearest authorized servicecenter.
Available bars and chains for DCM565:
• Bar: 30cm service part number N594322
• Chain: 30cm service part number N580237
