Operation

Filling Fuel Tank

1.Shut off engine and allow engine to completely cool before refilling the fuel tank.

2.Move to a well-ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames and sparks.

3.Clean debris from area around the fuel cap.

4.Loosen fuel cap slowly.

5.Carefully add fuel without spilling.

6.Do not fill gas tank completely full; allow space for fuel to expand.

7.Immediately replace fuel cap and tighten. Wipe off spilled fuel and allow to dry before starting engine.

The saw chain needs to stay lubricated during operation of the unit. Aside from the fuel reservoir on the chainsaw, there is also a bar and chain oil reservoir. Use only oil that has been designed specifically for use with chainsaws. Bar and chain oil has chemical properties which allow it to adhere to the saw chain and provide better lubrication while the chain is in motion.

The saw is equipped with an adjustable automatic oiler. The oiler and oil reservoir are designed such that a full tank of fuel will run out before a full tank of oil. This ensures that the bar and chain will receive a constant flow of oil during operation. Always top off your oil reservoir when re-fueling.

Filling the bar and chain oil reservoir

1.While the engine is cool for re-fueling, clean debris from area around the bar and chain oil cap.

2.Loosen oil cap slowly.

3.Carefully add bar and chain oil without spilling.

4.Do not fill oil reservoir completely full; allow space for oil to expand.

5.Replace cap and tighten. Wipe off any spilled oil before starting engine.

Note: Do not use waste or recycled oil. Waste or recycled oil could contain contaminants which will cause damage to the oil pump.
