WARNING!:
Never use raw fuel with out oil in your unit. This will cause permanent
engine damage and void the your warranty for that product. Never use a fuel mix-
ture that has been stored for over 90 days.
WARNING!:
The 2 stroke oil must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled
engines and must be mixed at a 25:1 ratio with the fuel. Mixing the fuel at a greater
ration than 25:1 provides insufficient lubrication and will cause engine damage and
voids your engines warranty.

Lubrication of chain and chain bar
Whenever you refill the fuel tank with petrol you must also top up the level of chain
oil in the chain oil tank. It is recommended to use standard chain oil.
SAW CHAIN / BAR LUBRICATION
Adequate lubrication of the saw chain is essential at all times to minimize friction with the
guide bar.
Never starve the bar and chain of oil. Running the saw with too little oil will decrease cutting
efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain, and cause excessive wear of bar
from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced
by smoke, bar discolouration or pitch build-up. New chains/bars should be lubricated by hand
before starting.
AUTOMATIC OILER
Your chain saw is equipped with an automatic oiler system. The oiler automatically delivers
the proper amount of oil to the bar and chain. As the engine speed increases, so does the oil
flow to the bar pad. The oil tank should be checked and topped up each time the fuel tank is
refilled.
Check the operation of the oil pump by running the saw at a medium speed. There
should be visible spatters of oil coming from tip of the saw about 30 second after
starting the saw.
WARNING:
During normal operation the chain brake, clutch cover, bar and chain
are lubricated with chain oil. After use oil will drain for many weeks and pool on the
surface underneath the chainsaw.
Place the chainsaw on a protected surface to contain the draining lubricating oil
when not being used.
