Chain Oiling |
|
NOTES: |
|
- A high quality bar and chain oil or SAE30 weight motor oil should be | |
used for chain and bar lubrication. Never use waste oil or very thick | |
oil. These may damage your chain saw. | |
- Replace oil reservoir cap immediately after filling oil reservoir. | |
Failure to do so will allow excessive oil to drip out of oiling outlet. | |
- It is normal for a small amount of excess oil to drip from the chain | |
saw bar and chain during storage. Do not store chain saw on top of | |
any thing that may be damaged by the dripping oil. | |
• Remove the oil reservoir cap (4) and fill the oil reservoir (3) with the | |
above recommended oil. For |
|
best results, keep reservoir over | J |
half full. | |
• Lubricate the saw chain as shown |
|
in figure J by pressing the bulb |
|
on the oil reservoir cap (4) twice |
|
before making each cut. Hold |
|
bulb down for |
|
• Because the saw uses a gravity |
|
fed oiling system, the saw should |
|
be pointed downward and slightly |
|
to the right when applying oil to the | K |
chain. | |
Transporting Saw |
|
• Always remove the battery (6) |
|
from the tool (figure K) and cover |
|
the guide bar (8) with the |
|
scabbard (12) (figure L) when |
|
transporting the saw. See the |
|
warning under “Battery Cap |
|
Information” for additional | L |
information on transporting the | |
battery. |
