WARNING! When handling saw chains, always wear protective
gloves.

increasing amount of oil appears, the automatic chain lubrication functions properly.
Lubricate sprocket
NOTE : It is not necessary to remove the chain or bar when lubricating the sprocket.
1 . Clean the bar and sprocket.
2 . Using a grease gun, insert the tip of the gun into the lubrication hole and inject grease until it appears
at the outside edge of the sprocket tip.
3 . To rotate the sprocket release the chain stop and pull the chain by hand until the ungreased side of the
sprocket is in line with the grease hole. Repeat the lubrication procedure.
Sharpening the saw chain
Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide
bar, chain, and motor wear. If you must force chain into wood and cutting creates only sawdust with
a few large chips, then chain is dull. Purchase a new chain, have your chain sharpened professionally
at a qualified service center, or sharpen the chain yourself using a proper sharpening kit. The height
difference between the cutting tip and the ridge is the depth gauge setting. When you sharpen the
