Chain and bar lubrication
Adequate lubrication of the chain during cutting operations
is essential to minimise friction with the guide bar. Your saw is
equipped with an hand priming pump oiler system. The oiler, through
priming the compression cap, 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 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 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 Tension
