Saw Chain and Guide Bar Oiling (Fig. L)
Auto Oiling System
This chain saw is equipped with an auto oiling system that
keeps the saw chain and guide bar constantly lubricated. The
oil level indicator 10 shows the level of the oil in the chain
saw. If the oil level is less than a quarter full, remove the battery
from the chain saw and refill with the correct type of oil. Always
empty oil tank when finished cutting.
nOTE: Use a high quality bar and chain oil for proper chain
and bar lubrication. As a temporary substitute, a non-detergent
SAE30 weight motor oil can be used. The use of a vegetable
based bar and chain oil is recommended when pruning trees.
Mineral oil is not recommended because it may harm trees.
Never use waste oil or very thick oil. These may damage your
chain saw.
