5-6.SAW CHAIN / BAR LUBRICATION

Adequate lubrication of the saw chain is essential at all
times to minimize friction with the guide bar.
Never starve the bar and chain of oil. Running the saw with
too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten saw
chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain, and cause exces-
sive wear of bar from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced
by smoke, bar discoloration or pitch build-up.
NOTE: Saw chain stretches during use, particularly when it
is new, and it will occasionally be necessary to adjust and
tighten it. New chain will require adjustment after about 5
minutes of operation.

5-7.AUTOMATIC OILER

Your chain saw is equipped with an automatic clutch driven
oiler system. The oiler automatically delivers the proper
amount of oil to the bar and chain. As the engine speed
increases, so does the oil flow to the bar pad. There is no
flow adjustment. The oil reservoir will run out at approxi-
mately the same time as the fuel supply runs out.
