AUTOMATIC CHAIN OILING SYSTEM
The LIMBSAW is built with an automatic chain oiling system to insure
the proper lubrication to the chain and chain bar. This unit has a flow
regulator valve installed and is preset to flow at 7 GPM. This valve
ensures manufacturer’s optimum flow rate for the Parker Motor that is
used in the LIMBSAW.
FOR INITIAL OPERATION:
Lightly cover the chain and chain bar of the LIMBSAW with oil to
lubricate the chain. Operate the LIMBSAW for about an hour, then check the poly tubing for oil.
This will allow time for the regulator to prime and begin automatic lubrication. Automatic oiling is
functioning when oil is visible in the clear poly tubing.
In the event that the preset, self-oiler needs adjustment, remove black
outer motor cover to expose oiler. Push up on the blue push lock ring
as shown in the photo to the left, and
carefully remove clear poly oil line from
oiler. Insert 3/16" allen wrench which
was provided in your Manual packet,
into blue push lock as shown in photo to the right. To increase flow, turn
counter clockwise. To decrease flow turn clockwise. Use extreme caution
using no more than ¼ turns to make adjustment, checking flow with
each adjustment. Reinsert poly tubing into blue push lock.

CHAIN TENSION
NOTE: SEE CHAIN TENSIONING INFORMATION ON PREVIOUS PAGE.
Do not over tighten chain. Over tightening will cause chain to stretch, cause additional wear and
tear on the sprocket and additional strain on the motor, and may void warranty. When replacing
chain be sure the chain, guidebar and rim sprocket match each other in gauge and pitch.
Using a 9/16" wrench, loosen 2 nuts holding the black chain guard
cover with white warning sticker.
Loosen locking nut as shown then adjust carriage bolt. Screw bolt
“out” to tighten chain, “in” to loosen. Retighten locking nut after
adjustment. Chain tension should be the same as any hand held
chainsaw. Re-tighten guard cover when adjustment is complete.
Never operate the saw with the chain guard cover loose or off.
