5) Fit the chain cover onto the bar pad, make sure
the screw (a) of the cover is directly inserted into
the center of fastening bar hole (See Fig. B5).
Check to see if the cover is pressed tight and
smoothly with the bar and saw body.
6) Grip the chain tensioning outer rim and turning
it clockwise until it is tight to tension the chain
(See Fig. B6). Check to see if the chain is tighten
and smoothly attached onto the bar.
7) Hold and depress the cover tightening stick,
turning it clockwise until it is tight. The chain cover
is now fully tightened. (See Fig. B7)

WARNING:
• Removing the battery pack before adjusting
saw chain tension.
• Cutting edges on chain are sharp. Use
protective gloves when handling chain.
• Maintain proper chain tension always. A
loose chain will increase the risk of kickback.
• A loose chain may jump out of guide bar
groove. This may injure operator and damage
chain. A loose chain will cause chain, bar, and
sprocket to wear rapidly.
2. LUBRICATION
Important: The chain saw is not filled
with oil. It is essential to fill with oil
before use. Never operate the chain saw
without chain oil or at an empty oil tank level,
as this will result in extensive damage to the
product.
NOTE: Chain life and cutting capacity depend
on optimum lubrication. Therefore, the chain is
automatically oiled during operation.
Filling oil tank:
WARNING: Removing the battery pack before
filling the oil tank.
1). Set chain saw on any suitable surface with oil
filler cap facing upward.
2). Clean area around the oil filler cap with
cloth and unscrew the cap by turning it counter
clockwise.
3). Add bar and chain oil until tank is full.
4). Avoid dirt or debris entering oil tank, refit oil
filler cap and tighten by turning clockwise until
hand tight.
Important: To allow venting of the
oil tank, small breather channels are
provided between the oil filler cap and the
strainer, to prevent leakage, and ensure
machine is left in a horizontal position when
not in use.
Never use recycled/old oil. Use of non approved
oil will void the warranty.
Do not swallow. If swallowed, call a physician
immediately. Keep out of reach of children. Store it
away from heat or open flame.
Checking the Automatic Oiler
Proper functioning of the automatic oiler can be
checked by running the chain saw and pointing
the tip of the guide chain bar towards a piece
of cardboard or paper on the ground. If an
increasing oil pattern develops on the cardboard,
the automatic oiler is operating fine. If there is
no oil pattern, despite a full oil reservoir, contact
customer service agent or approved service agent.
