The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump that opera-
tes whenever the chain rotales. The pump is set al the factory to deliver a
mínimum flow rate, but it can be adjusted in the field. A temporary increase
in oil flow is often desirable when cutting things like hardwood or wood with
a lot of pitch.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the OFF position.
2. Place the unit on its side with the oil reservoir up.
(1) Oil tank
(2) Chain cover
IMPORTANT
The oil flow adjusting screw must be pressed in slightly in arder to turn.
Failure to do so could damage the pump and screw.
3. With a screwdriver, push in on the oil flow rate adjusting screw and turn in
the desired direction (there are three incremental settings):
(a) Clockwise-decrease lubrication
(b) Counter clockwise-increase lubrication
(c) Middle
