FILLING THE BAR AND CHAIN
OIL RESERVOIR
IMPORTANT: BAR AND CHAIN OIL
PREVENTS PREMATURE WEAR. NEVER
OPERATE THE CHAIN SAW IF OIL
IS NOT VISIBLE. CHECK OIL LEVEL
FREQUENTLY AND FILL AS NEEDED.
Bar and chain oil is required to properly
lubricate the guide bar and saw chain.
The chain saw is equipped with an
automatic oiler that deposits oil on the
bar and chain when running, keeping
them properly lubricated. Use OREGON®
bar and chain oil for best results. It is
specially designed to provide low friction
and faster cuts. 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.
Place the chain saw on its side on a firm,
flat surface, so that the oil cap is on top
(Fig. ).
• Clean any debris from the cap area.
• Remove the cap.
• Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into
the reservoir.
• Replace the cap and make sure oil is
visible in the reservoir.
If oil is not visible in the reservoir,
additional bar and chain oil is necessary.
PRIMING THE OILER
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
INJURY, NEVER RUN THE CHAIN SAW
WITHOUT THE SIDE COVER.
CAUTION: KEEP HANDS,
CLOTHING, AND HAIR AWAY FROM
THE DRIVE SPROCKET WHEN PRIMING
THE OILER.
If this is the first time filling the bar and
chain oil reservoir, or if the chain saw has
been stored for a long period of time
without use, prime the oiler.
• Insert the battery.
• Run the chain saw for about two
minutes.
• Remove the battery.
• Remove the side cover by turning
the side cover release knob
counterclockwise.
• Check for oil on the bar pad (Fig ).
• If no oil is present on the bar pad,
replace the side cover and run for
another  seconds.
• When oil begins to seep from the hole,
the chain saw is ready for guide bar and
saw chain assembly.
If oil is not visible in the reservoir,
additional bar and chain oil is necessary.
