NOTE:
It is normal for oil to seep from the saw
when not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the
oil tank after each use then run for one minute.
When storing the unit for a long period of time
(three months or longer) be sure the chain is lightly
lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain and
bar sprocket.
