Chain Oil
Filling the Oil Reservoir
• Fill the chain oil tank with low
viscosity chain oil or SAE30 oil.
• Do not use waste or regenerated oil that can cause damage to the oil pump.
• The oil reservoir has a capacity sucient to provide about 20 minutes of cutting time (when set to
deliver the minimum ow rate). Be sure to rell the oil tank every time when refuelling the saw.
Checking the Oil Supply
• After starting the engine, run the
chain at medium speed and see
if chain oil is thrown o as shown.
Adjusting the Oil Flow Rate
Never ll the oil reservoir or adjust the oiler with the engine running.
• An increase in bar oil ow rate will speed oil consumption, requiring more frequent checks on the
oil reservoir.
• The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump that operates whenever the
chain rotates. The pump is set at the factory to deliver a minimum ow rate, but it can be adjusted
in the eld. A temporary increase in oil ow is often desirable when cutting hardwood.
