WARNING:
NEVER adjust the automatic oiler system when
the engine is running. Doing so or failure to
heed this warning could cause serious personal
injury.
ADDING BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT
See Figure 6.
NOTICE:
Remove battery pack from unit. Fill oil tank with
bar and chain lubricant (not provided) before
starting the chain saw. Failure to lubricate the
chain will cause damage to the bar and chain.
 Use bar and chain lubricant (not provided) that is
formulated to perform over a wide temperature
range with no dilution required.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise con-
taminated lubricants. Damage may occur to the
bar or chain.
 Carefully pour the bar and chain lubricant into
the tank.
 Check and fill the oil tank when battery is
recharged, or as needed.
NOTE: It is normal for lubricant to seep from the
saw when not in use. To prevent seepage, empty
the oil tank after each use. When storing the unit
for a long period of time (three months or longer) be
sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent
rust on the chain and bar sprocket.
NOTICE:
Before each use, check to make sure that the
chain is properly tensioned. A cold chain is cor-
rectly tensioned when there is no slack on the
underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug,
and it can be turned by hand without binding.
During normal saw operation, the temperature
of the chain increases. The drive links of a cor-
rectly tensioned warm chain will hang approxi-
mately .050 in. out of the bar groove.
See the Adjusting the Chain Tension instruc-
tions in the Maintenance section of this manual
to properly adjust the chain tension.
OPERATION
OPERATING THE CHAIN BRAKE
See Figures 7 - 8.
Check the operating condition of the chain brake
prior to each use.
 Using the back of your left hand, engage the
chain brake by pushing the chain brake lever/
front hand guard toward the bar while the chain
is rotating rapidly.
 Reset the chain brake back into the RUN posi-
tion by grasping the top of the chain brake lever/
front hand guard and pulling toward the front
handle until you hear a click.
WARNING:
If the chain brake does not stop the chain
immediately, or if the chain brake/front hand
guard will not stay in the run position without
assistance, take the saw to an authorized ser-
vice center for repair prior to use.
