OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
• Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 along with
hearing protection. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes and
other possibly serious injuries.
• Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this
product. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious
personal injury.
1. Filling Oil Tank with Bar and Chain
Lubricant
The chainsaw is not filled with oil at the time of
purchase. It is essential to fill the tank with oil
before use. Operating the chainsaw without chain
oil or when the oil level is below the minimum mark
will result in damage to the chainsaw. Chain life and
cutting capacity depend on optimum lubrication.
The chain is automatically lubricated with chain oil
during operation.
WARNING
• Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame near the
oil or the chainsaw. Oil may spill and cause a
fire.
a. Push the chain kickback brake paddle (E) towards the front of the saw. Remove the battery
pack from the chainsaw.
b. Clean the oil-tank cap (K) and the area around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the oil tank.
c. Position the chainsaw on its side on a firm, flat surface, so that the tank cap is facing
upwards. Rotate the oil tank cap counterclockwise to remove it.
d. Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank. Fill to the bottom of the fill neck. Wipe off
any excess oil.
e. Replace the cap, place the saw upright, and view the level through the oil inspection
window. Oil should fill the window.
NOTICE:
• Use KOBALT® and TriLink® bar and chain oil for best results. It is specifically designed to
provide low friction and faster cuts.
• Never use oil or other lubricants not specifically designed for use on the bar and chain. This
can lead to a clogged oil system, which may cause premature wear of the bar and chain.
• Check the oil level frequently and fill the tank when the oil level falls below the minimum line.
Never operate the chainsaw if the oil is not visible.
• Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise contaminated oil. Damage may occur to the bar or
chain.
• It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when it is not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the
oil tank after each use and then run the saw for one minute. When storing the tool for a long
period of time, be sure that the chain is lightly lubricated. This will prevent rust on the chain
and bar sprocket.
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of oil properly. Consult your local
waste authority for information regarding available recycling and disposal options.
