Before operation

Chain oil

1) Adding oil
1. Remove the oil tank cap and pour the chain oil
(SAE #10W-30) into the oil tank.
2. Once the oil has been poured into the oil tank,
tighten the oil tank cap to securely close the tank.
• Ensure that the guide bar and saw
chain are installed on the pruner before
verifying the discharging rate of the
chain oil. The rotator will be exposed
and therefore dangerous if the guide
bar and the saw chain are not installed
on the pruner.
The regulating screw has three positions, Minimum,
Intermediate and Maximum, only.
The regulating screw is set to Intermediate at the time
of shipping. It is recommended that the product be used
with this setting for ordinary use.
• Increase the discharging rate when cutting hard
branches or branches with a lot of resin (pitch),
or when the viscosity of the oil is high during
winter.
1. Insert a minus screw driver into the regulating
screw at the bottom of the main unit.

DANGER
• It may take some time before the oil
begins to discharge once the oil has
been added to a new product or when
oil has been added to an empty tank. Do
not turn the pruner on at a high speed
in such circumstances.
• When a new chain is to be used, immerse
the chain in chain oil for some time
prior to installing it on the pruner, or
pour the oil directly on to the chain and
the guide bar, after installing it on the
pruner. If they are not properly lubri-
cated with oil the pruner may seize.
2. When applying pressure with the minus screw
driver, turn the screw to the right (clockwise) to
reduce the discharging rate and to the left
(counterclockwise) to increase the discharging
rate.
3. Turn the engine on and turn the saw chain, with the
guide bar facing the ground or tree. Oil will attach
to the ground or tree, if the oil is discharging.
Be sure to turn the screw while applying
pressure to it with the screwdriver.
• Using the pruner with a saw chain too
loose may result in the saw chain
becoming dislodged and could cause an
accident. Please be sure to check the
tension of the saw chain before starting
any work.
