running without lubricant, guide bar and saw chain can
be damaged. It is therefore essential to check the oil
level in the oil level gauge frequently and every time
before starting to use the chain saw.
1. Clear surface around the oil cap to prevent
contamination.
2. Unscrew and remove the cap from the oil tank.
