To fill the oil, perform the following steps:
1. Place the chain saw on a firm, flat surface so that the oil tank cap is on top.
2. Clean the dust from the oil tank cap and the surroundings.
3. Unscrew the oil tank cap and add oil up to the lower edge of the filler neck.
4. Screw the oil tank cap firmly back in place.
5. Wipe away any spilt chain oil carefully.
NOTE:
Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise contaminated lubricants. Damage may occur to the bar or
chain.
NOTE:
It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank
after each use then run for one minute. When storing the unit for a long period of time(three months or
longer) be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
