OPERATING CHAIN SAW

WARNING: Read and understand this owner’s manual before operat- ing this saw. Make certain you read and understand all Important Safety Information. Improper use of this chain saw can cause severe injury or death from fire, electrical shock, or body contact with moving chain, or falling wood.

FILLING OIL TANK

1.Remove oil cap.

2.Fill oil tank with SAE #30 motor oil. Note: For temperatures below 30°F, use SAE #10 oil. For temperatures above 75°F, use SAE #40 oil.

DO NOT use standard bar and chain oil.

3.Replace oil cap at once. Tighten oil cap firmly for good seal. This will avoid oil seepage from cap.

4.Wipe off excess oil.

Note: It is normal for oil to seep when saw is not in use. It is necessary to empty oil tank after each use to prevent seepage.
