CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATION
Adequate lubrication of the chain saw during cutting operations is
essential to minimize friction with the guide bar. Your chain saw is
equipped with an automatic oiler system. The oiler automatically
delivers the proper amount of oil to the bar and chain. The oil tank
level can be checked in the oil inspection window (A) provided on the
right side of the saw. The tank is full when oil is at the top of the slot.
CAUTION: Never starve the bar and chain of lubrication oil.
Running the saw DRY or with TOO LITTLE OIL will decrease
cutting efficiency, shorten chain saw life, and cause
rapid dulling of the chain and excessive wear of the bar
from overheating. Too little is evidenced by smoke or bar
discoloration.
NOTE: The chain saw stretches during use, particularly when
it is new, and occasional adjustment will be needed. A new
chain requires more frequent adjustment during the break-
in period. This is normal. See Section chain saw Tension
Adjustment instructions.
