Saw Chain and Guide Bar Oiling (Fig. A)
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 15 shows the level of the oil in the
chain saw. If the oil level is less than a quarter full, unplug
the chainsaw and refill with the proper oil.
nOTE: Use a high quality bar and chain oil for proper saw
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 chain saw.

Filling the Oil Reservoir

1. Remove the oil cap 14 and fill the reservoir with the
recommended chain oil until the oil level has reached
the top of the oil level indicator
2. Refit the oil cap.
3. Periodically switch the chain saw off and check the oil
level indicator to ensure the bar and chain are being
properly oiled.
