from the chain saw and refill with the correct type of oil. Always
with
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.
