NOTE
The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient to provide about 40 minutes of
cutting time (when set to deliver the mínimum flow rate, or about as long as
youl gel from a tank of fuel). Be sure to refill the oil tank every time when
refuelling the saw.
Adjusting 0il Flow Rate
WARNING
Never fill the oil reservoir nor adjust the oiler with the engine running.

An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consumption, requiring more
frequent checks on the oil reservoir. To ensure sufficient lubrication, it may
be necessary to check the oil level more frequently than at fuel tank refills.
