Cleaning, Maintenance, and
Lubrication
1.BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for loose hardware, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, dull or damaged Saw Chain, damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
2.BEFORE THE FIRST USE, make sure the Oil Tank (18) is filled with Bar and Chain oil (not included). Oil is automatically applied to the Saw
Chain when the Oil Reservoir is full.
3.IF THE SAW CHAIN (72) BECOMES LOOSE, adjust the Saw Chain tension as described under Tool Setup.
4.WHEN NECESSARY, have the Saw Chain (72) sharpened by a qualified technician, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
5.PERIODICALLY, turn the Chain Guide Bar (71) over to distribute the wear on it. Replace the Chain Guide Bar when bent, cracked, or when the Saw Chain (72) moves excessively from side to side on the Chain Guide Bar.
6.AFTER USE, wipe the outside surface of the Chain Saw with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary use a mild detergent. Do not use solvents. Do not immerse this tool in liquid.
