ADDING BAR AND CHAIN OIL
WARNING:
unit. Make sure the chain oil reservoir is always filled. Always use bar and chain oil.
WARNING:
Check the chain oil level frequently so that it does not drop below half full.
The guide bar and saw chain require lubrication to minimize friction. Never starve the guide bar and
chain of lubricating oil. Running the unit without enough oil will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten
the life of the saw chain, cause rapid dulling of the saw chain and excessive wear to the guide bar from
overheating. An insufficient amount of lubricating oil is evidenced by smoke, guide bar discoloration or
pitch build-up.
NOTE: Always use a high-quality, biodegradable bar and chain oil for proper saw chain and bar
lubrication. When pruning trees, vegetable-based bar and chain oil is recommended, as
mineral-based oils may harm living trees. Never use dirty, used, or contaminated oil. Doing so
may damage the tool. Dispose of old oil according to federal, state and local regulations.
Checking the Chain Oil Level
1. Set the unit on a flat, level surface. Position the unit with the chain oil cap facing up (Fig. 14).
2. Make sure that the chain oil reservoir is at least half full (Fig. 14). If the oil level is too low, add bar
and chain oil. Refer to Filling the Chain Oil Reservoir.
Filling the Chain Oil Reservoir
1. Set the unit on a flat, level surface. Position the unit with the chain oil cap facing up (Fig. 14).
2. To prevent debris from entering the chain oil reservoir, use a damp cloth to clean the chain oil cap
and surrounding area.
3. Unscrew the chain oil cap (Fig. 14).
4. Carefully pour the oil into the chain oil reservoir. DO NOT overfill.
NOTE: The chain oil reservoir may be filled to the lip of the fill opening without damaging the unit.
5. Reinstall the chain oil cap. Tighten the chain oil cap firmly.
6. Wipe up any oil that may have spilled.
Chain Oil Reservoir
Failure to fill the chain oil reservoir will cause irreparable damage to the
Oil constantly flows from the chain oil reservoir to oil the saw chain.
