The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump that operates whenever the chain rotates. The pump is set at the factory to deliver a minimum flow rate, but it can be adjusted in the field. A temporary increase in oil flow is often desirable when cutting things like hardwood or wood with a lot of pitch.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1.Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the OFF position.
2. Place the unit on its side with the oil res ervoir up. (OP7)
