OPERATION

AUTOMATIC CHAIN OIL SYSTEM

See Figure 6.

NOTE: Chain saw comes from the factory with no bar and chain oil added.

nUse Power Care Bar and Chain Oil. It is formulated to perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution required.

nRemove oil cap.

nCarefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank.

nWipe off excess oil.

nCheck and fill the oil tank when quick view oil indicator is below the second to last indicator line.

nRepeat as needed.

NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated oils. Damage may occur to the bar or chain.

NOTE: It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use then run for one minute. 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.

CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY

See Figure 7.

This chain saw is designed with an extension cord hitch that prevents the extension cord from being pulled loose while using.

nForm a loop with the end of the extension cord.

nInsert loop portion of extension cord through the opening in the side of the rear handle and place over cord hitch.

nSlowly pull loop against cord hitch until the slack is re- moved.

nPlug extension cord into rear handle of chain saw.

NOTE: Failure to remove all excess cord slack from extension cord hitch could result in plug loosening from receptacle.
