OPERATING
CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICAT·ION
For chain lubrication use the same
SKIL
Chain Saw Oil as
indicated in "Preliminary Lubrication" (page 3).
In very cold weather, dilute the oil with kerosene to make
the oil flow ;freely along the bar.
NEVER LET THE OIL RESERVOIR RUN DRY-CHECK
FREOUENTLY. CORRECT CHAIN LUBRICATION IS EVI·
DENT WHEN SOME OIL SPLASHES FROM THE CHAIN
WHILE THE SAW IS FREE RUNNING. UNDER NORMAL
CONDiTIONS THE AUTOMATIC 01LER WILl SUPPLY A
SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF OIL BUT FOR LARGE DIA-
METER CUTS AND CUTTING IN COLD WEATH'ER, USE
THE MANUAL PUMPTO SUPPLY i\119RE

INSTRUCTIONS
When you cut further out along the bar, the chain will have a
tendency to pull you and the saw towards the work. so you
must take care to brace vourselt against this suqnt pull. (The
reverse wi II be true if you are using the top ot the bar to snip
small limbs or "under" buck). Exert light feed pressureto cut
straight through the wood, but be ready to ease-off on the
throttle the moment the cut is completed.
IMP.ORTANT: Know where the chain is at all times with refer-
enceto obstructions-stop cutting before the chain touches the
ground or any obstruction. Keep using the oiler button to keep
the chain well supplied with oil. Watch out for grit or sand in
the bark. Dirty bark will dull the chain immediately. Use an.
axe to chip away dirty bark before cutting.
