CHECKING OIL SUPPLY
After starting the engine, run the chain at medium
speed and see if chain oil is scattered off as shown in
the figure. (OP1)
(1) Chain oil
The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient to provide
about 40 minutes of cutting time (when set to deliver
the minimum flow rate, or about as long as you'll get
from a tank of fuel). Be sure to refill the oil tank every
time when refueling the saw.
■
ADJUSTING OIL FLOW RATE
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.
The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically
by a pump that operates whenever the chain rotates.
The pump is set at the factory to deliver a minimum
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.
