CAUTION: SAFETY NOTICE.
Unplug the chainsaw.
FILLING THE BAR AND
CHAIN OIL RESERVOIR
STEP 1: Place the chainsaw on a firm,
flat surface, so that the oil cap (A) is
on top.
• Clean any debris from the cap area.
• Remove the cap.
• Carefully pour 120 ml of bar and
chain oil into the reservoir.
Plug in the chainsaw.
If the reservoir is totally full on
initial startup, it can slow down
the prime. We suggest 90% full.
STEP 2: Run the saw for around 2
minutes or until you see oil present on
the bar pad.
When the oil system has been primed
as per the above steps, unplug the
chainsaw.
Remember to top up your bar and chain
oil regularly.
