CHAIN OILING SYSTEM
Make sure you follow the instructions in maintenance for putting
oil in the chain saw.
CAUTION: Failure to lubricate the chain will cause damage to the
bar and chain. Use only a good quality bar and chain oil or, if not
available, unused SAE 30 weight motor oil may be substituted.
■ Use bar and chain lubricant (not provided) that is formulated to
perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution
required.
■ One full oil tank will enable you to use the saw for 20- 40 min.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated oils.
Damage may occur to the bar or chain.
■ Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank.
■ Check and fill the oil tank when battery is recharged, or as
needed.
NOTE: It is normal for lubricant to seep from the saw when not in
use. To prevent seepage, empty the oil tank after each use. 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. Make sure oil tank lid is tightly closed.
INSTALLING/REPLACING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN
DANGER: Never start the motor before installing the guide
bar, chain, sprocket cover and chain tension knob. Without all
these parts in place, the clutch can fly off or explode, exposing
the user to possible serious injury.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, read and
understand all the safety instructions provided.
WARNING: Before performing any maintenance, remove the
battery pack from the saw. Failure to heed this warning could
result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Always wear gloves when handling the bar and
chain; these components are sharp and may contain burrs.
WARNING: Never touch or adjust the chain while the motor is
running. The saw chain is very sharp; always wear protective
gloves when performing maintenance to the chain to avoid
possible serious lacerations.
NOTE: When replacing the guide bar and chain, use only
identical replacement parts.
WARNING: Remove the battery from saw.
