the chain easier. (See Fig. A5)
7. Fit the chain onto the drive sprocket, so that the fastening bar hole and the two bar locating tabs on the bar
pad fit into the keyway of the opening on the guide bar. (See Fig. B1, B2)
8. Assure all parts are seated properly. Make sure the drive links are fully seated in the drive sprocket (See Fig.
C1), avoiding a kink as shown in Fig. C2. If kink occurs, pick up on the chain at the guide bar just ahead of the
kink and then pull the kink out.
NOTE: Chain should rotate freely and be free of kinks.
9. Grip the chain tensioning outer rim and turning it clockwise until it is tight to tension the chain. Check to see
if the chain is tighten and smoothly attached onto the bar (See Fig. D)
10. Hold and depress the cover tightening stick, turning it clockwise until it is tight. The chain cover is now fully
tightened. (See Fig. E)
TENSIONING CHAIN AND BAR
NOTE: New saw chains will stretch. Check the chain tension frequently when first used and tighten when the
Chain becomes loose around the Guide Bar.
WARNING:
•
Removing the battery pack before adjusting saw chain tension.
•
Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use protective gloves when handling chain.
•
Maintain proper chain tension always. A loose chain will increase the risk of kickback. A loose chain
may jump out of guide bar groove. This may injure operator and damage chain. A loose chain will
cause chain, bar, and sprocket to wear rapidly.
LUBRICATION
Important: The chain saw is not filled with oil. It is essential to fill with oil before use. Never
operate the chain saw without chain oil or at an empty oil tank level, as this will result in extensive
damage to the product.
NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is automatically
oiled during operation.
FILLING OIL TANK:
WARNING: Removing the battery pack before filling the oil tank.
1. Set chain saw on any suitable surface with Oil Filler Cap facing upward.
2. Clean area around the Oil Filler Cap with cloth and unscrew the cap by turning it counter clockwise.
3. Add bar and chain oil until tank is full.
4. Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit Oil Filler Cap and tighten by turning clockwise until hand tight.
Important: To allow venting of the oil tank, small breather channels are provided between the Oil
Filler Cap and the strainer, to prevent leakage, and ensure machine is left in a horizontal position
when not in use.
It is important to use only the recommended chain oil (Grade: ISO VG32) to avoid damage to the chain
saw. Never use recycled/old oil. Use of non approved oil will void the warranty.
Do not swallow. If swallowed, call a physician immediately. Keep out of reach of children. Store away
from heat or open flame.
Checking the Automatic Oiler
Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can be checked by running the chain saw and pointing the tip of the
Guide chain bar towards a piece of cardboard or paper on the ground. If an increasing oil pattern develops on
the cardboard, the automatic oiler is operating fine. If there is no oil pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, contact
WALMART customer service agent or WALMART approved service agent.
Caution: Do not touch the ground with the chain. Ensure safety clearance of 12" .
