Saw Chain and Guide Bar Oiling (Fig.J)
Auto Oiling System
This chain saw is equipped with an auto oiling system that
keeps the saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated.
The oil level indicator
10
shows the level of the oil in the
chain saw. If the oil level is less than a quarter full, remove the
battery from the chain saw and refill with the correct type of
oil. Always empty oil tank when finishedcutting.
NOTE: Use a high quality bar and chain oil for proper
chain and bar lubrication. As a temporary substitute, a
non‑detergent SAE30 weight motor oil can be used. The
use of a vegetable based bar and chain oil is recommended
when pruning trees. Mineral oil is not recommended
because it may harm trees. Never use waste oil or very thick
oil. These may damage yourchainsaw.
Filling the Oil Reservoir
1. Flip down locking lever and unscrew counterclockwise
a quarter turn and then remove the oil cap
16
. Fill
the reservoir with the recommended bar and chain oil
until the oil level has reached the top of the oil level
indicator
10
.
2. Refit the oil cap and tighten clockwise a quarter turn. Flip
up locking lever to its lockedposition.
3. Periodically switch the chain saw off and check the oil
level indicator to ensure the bar and chain are being
properlyoiled.
