8. Operation
NOTE
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
WARNING
Never fill the oil reservoir nor adjust the oiler with
the engine running.
IMPORTANT
An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consump-
tion, 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 max 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.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in
the STOP position.

ADJUSTING THROTTLE CABLE
• The normal play is 1 or 2mm when measured at the
carburetor side end. Readjust with the cable ad-
juster as required.

ADJUSTING IDLING SPEED
(1) Idle adjusting screw
1. When the engine tends stop frequently at idling
mode, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.
2. When the cutting head keeps rotating after releasing
the trigger, turn the adjusting screw counter-clock-
wise.
NOTE
• Warm up the engine before adjusting the idling
speed.
WARNING
• Always wear work gloves made of leather or some
other sturdy material when using the polesaw.
• Falling branches may fall onto the face or into the
eyes, resulting in injuries, scratches, and cuts,
and for this reason you should always be sure to
wear a helmet and face protector when using your
polesaw.
