Chainsaw Model CS1500
Preparing for Use
Filling the Bar and
Chain Oil Reservoir
IMPORTANT: Bar and chain oil prevents
premature wear. Never operate the
chainsaw if oil is not visible in the
inspection window. Check oil level
frequently and fill as needed.
Bar and chain oil is required to properly
lubricate the guide bar and saw chain. The
chainsaw is equipped with an automatic oiler
that deposits oil on the bar and chain when
running, keeping them properly lubricated. 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 a firm, flat surface so
that the oil cap is on top (Fig. ).
• Clean any debris from the cap area.
• Remove the cap.
• Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the
reservoir.
• Replace the cap and make sure oil is visible in
the reservoir.
PRIMING THE OILER
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
never run the chainsaw without the side
cover.
CAUTION: Keep hands, clothing, and
hair away from the drive sprocket when
priming the oiler.
If this is the first time filling the bar and chain
oil reservoir, or if the chainsaw has been stored
for a long period of time without use, prime the
oiler.
Wear Gloves
• Unplug the chainsaw.
• Loosen the side cover release knob slightly,
but do not remove the side cover.
• Loosen the chain tensioning ring (turn it
counter clockwise) as far as it will go.
• Loosen the side cover release knob and
remove the side cover.
• Remove the guide bar and saw chain.
• Plug in the chainsaw.
• Install the side cover, then lightly tighten the
side cover release knob.
• Run the chainsaw for about two minutes.
• Unplug the chainsaw, remove the side cover
and check for oil on the bar pad (Fig ).
• If no oil is present on the bar pad, replace the
side cover and run for another seconds.
