Lubrication
Your saw has been properly lubricated and is ready for use. We
recommend using only approved lubricants. The recommended
oil is
Shell™ Brand Omala S2 G 320.
Lubricating the pivot points, slide adjustments, and other
moving parts (with one to two drops) on a regular basis
increases the functionality and life of your tool.
Always check the oil level prior to use. To check or add oil:
Remove tool from power source and place saw on level surface.
The oil plug can be removed with a
17
mm
wrench.
With the
saw unplugged, remove the oil cap. The oil level should be
just below the visible worm gear, rotating the blade should
show signs of oil bathing the gears. If not, fill to the
appropriate level. Note the correct amount of oil is
30
cc (
+/-2
cc). Never overfill the gearbox. When adding or
changing the oil, be sure the oil cap is tight before operation.

If oil is thick or extra dirty, replace the plug and run the saw
for about one minute to warm and thin the oil. Remove plug
and tip saw upside down to remove all oil. Fill housing with
kerosene, replace plug, run for one minute. Remove plug and
kerosene. Refill with fresh lubricant. New saws should have
oil changed after first ten hours of use.
