Filling Oil Tank with Bar and
Chain Lubricant
WARNING
serious personal injury, always remove the
battery pack from the machine before filling
the tank with oil .
WARNING
oil or the chain saw . Oil may spill and cause
a fire.
The chain saw is not filled with
NOTICE
oil at the time of purchase. It is
essential to fill the tank with oil before use.
Operating the chain saw without chain oil or when the oil level is below the minimum mark will
result in damage to the chain saw. Chain life and cutting capacity depend on optimum
lubrication. The chain is automatically lubricated with chain oil during operation.
1. Remove the battery pack from the chain saw.
2. Clean the oil tank cap and the area around it to ensure that no dirt falls into the oil tank.
3. Position the chain saw on its side on a firm, flat surface, so that the tank cap is facing
upwards. Rotate the oil tank cap counterclockwise to remove it (Fig. 8)
4. Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the tank. Be careful not to let the oil spill from the
opening. Do not overfill and leave approximately 3/16" (5 mm) space between the oil level
and the inside edge of the tank to allow for expansion. Wipe off any excess oil.
5. Replace and fasten the cap.
NOTICE
We recommend using environmentally-friendly biodegradable chain oil specifically intended
•
to be used with chain saws.
Never use oil or other lubricants not specifically designed for use on the bar and chain. This
•
can lead to a clogged oil system, which may cause premature wear of the bar and chain.
Check the oil level frequently and fill when the oil level falls below the minimum line. Never
•
operate the chain saw if the oil is not visible.
Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise contaminated oil. Damage may occur to the bar or
•
chain.
It is normal for oil to seep from the saw when it is not in use. To prevent seepage, empty the
•
oil tank after each use, and then run the saw for one minute. When storing the machine for
a long period of time, be sure the chain is lightly lubricated; this will prevent rust on the chain
and bar sprocket.
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose of oil properly. Consult your local
•
waste authority for information regarding available recycling and disposal options.
