cation. Lubricationisprovidedby theauk+

 

matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept

 

filled. Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and chain. Too little oil will cause overheating shown by smoke coming from the chain and/or discoloration of the bar.

In freezing weather oilwill thicken,making it necessary to thin bar and chain oil with a small amount (Sto 1096)of#l Diesel Fuel or kerosene. Bar and chain oil must be free flowing.
