Chain Oil
WARNING
Always remove battery pack before
changing or removing accessories.
NOTICE
Fill oil reservoir with chain oil (not
provided) before starting the tool and
when tank is less than 1/4 full. Failure to oil the
chain will cause damage to the bar and chain.
Check oil level frequently and fill the oil reservoir after
each full battery discharge. Use a high quality chain
oil. The oil will keep the saw chain and guide bar
properly lubricated. Never run the tool without chain
oil. Keep the reservoir more than 1/4 full to ensure
sufficient oil is available for the job. Always lightly oil
the chain when storing to prevent rust. Always empty
the oil tank when storing to prevent leakage.
NOTE:
It is recommended to use a vegetable based
chain oil when pruning trees. Mineral oil may harm
trees. Never use waste oil automotive oil, or very
thick oils. These could damage the tool.
Filling the Oil Reservoir
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Place the tool on a flat, firm surface, blade side down.
3. Unscrew the oil cap.
4. Carefully fill reservoir with chain oil.
5. Tighten oil cap securely.
6. Repeat as needed during use.
7.
Periodically check that the saw chain is lubricat-
ing correctly:
• With a full reservoir, hold the tool with the tip of
the guide bar pointing down toward a light-colored
surface.
•
Run the tool for approximately 30 seconds.
• An oil line should become visible on the light
surface.
•
If not, remove and clean the guide bar thoroughly.
Ensure the guide bar sprocket (at the tip) rotates
freely.
• If the lubrication system still does not work prop-
erly, contact a MILWAUKEE service facility.

to avoid accidental starting. Prop-
er handling of the tool will prevent injury.
Always turn off the tool when transporting from
one location to another. Do not carry tool with
