FILLING THE BAR AND CHAIN OIL RESERVOIR
1. While the engine is cool for re-fueling, clean debris from area
around the bar and chain oil cap.
2. Loosen oil cap slowly.
3. Carefully add bar and chain oil without spilling.
4. Do not fill oil reservoir completely full; allow space for oil to
expand.
WARNING
CHAIN BRAKE WILL NOT PREVENT A KICKBACK. IN THE
EVENT OF A KICKBACK, THE CHAIN BRAKE IS DESIGNED
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OPERATOR.
WARNING
DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER THE FUNCTIONALITY OF
THE THROTTLE INTERLOCK IN ANY WAY. DOING SO
WILL ALLOW ACCIDENTAL ENGAGEMENT OF THE
THROTTLE WHICH WILL RESULT AN UNEXPECTED
OPERATION OF THE SAW CHAIN.
WARNING
CHAIN CATCHER IS INTENDED TO PREVENT INJURY
IN THE EVENT OF A CHAIN MALFUNCTION. NEVER
OPERATE A SAW WITHOUT A CHAIN CATCHER.
REPLACE IF MISSING OR BADLY DAMAGED.
OPERATION
FILLING FUEL TANK
1. Shut off engine and allow engine to completely cool before
refilling the fuel tank.
2. Move to a well-ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames
and sparks.
3. Clean debris from area around the fuel cap.
4. Loosen fuel cap slowly.
5. Carefully add fuel without spilling.
Note: Use a minimum 87 octane gasoline with NO ethanol
content (50:1 mixture). If using an ethanol blended fuel,
a fuel stabilizer, mixed to manufacturer specifications, is
recommended.
6. Do not fill gas tank completely full; allow space for fuel to
expand.
7. Immediately replace fuel cap and tighten. Wipe off spilled
fuel and allow to dry before starting engine.
The saw chain needs to stay lubricated during operation of
the unit.
Aside from the fuel reservoir on the chainsaw, there
is also a bar and chain oil reservoir. Use only oil that has been
designed specifically for use with chainsaws. Bar and chain oil
has chemical properties which allow it to adhere to the saw
chain and provide better lubrication while the chain is in motion.
The saw is equipped with an adjustable automatic oiler
. The
oiler and oil reservoir are designed such that a full tank of fuel
will run out before a full tank of oil. This ensures that the bar
and chain will receive a constant flow of oil during operation.
Always top off your oil reservoir when re-fueling.
To adjust the automatic oiler you must first locate the oiler screw
positioned on the under-side of the chainsaw
(SEE FIGURE 3)
.
Turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase and clockwise to
decrease oil flow. The screw location does vary slightly between
models.
NOTE: It is recommended for the use of your chainsaw to
leave the automatic oiler on full flow.

5. Replace cap and tighten. Wipe off any spilled oil before starting
engine.
Note: Do not use waste or recycled oil. Waste or recycled oil
could contain contaminants which will cause damage to the
oil pump.
