Adjusting Oil Flow Rate NOTE: The automatic oiler is preset to deliver a sufficient oil discharge volume during normal operating conditions. During heavy or dry cutting conditions, the oil discharge volume may be increased to assure adequate lubrication. If oil is leaking from the bar cover area, reduce the oil discharge volume. Refill the oil reservoir with each tank of fuel. D NOTE: Very little visible oil on the saw chain will provide sufficient lubrication. E Adjust the pump as follows: 1.
Flush-cutting Thick Branches: If branch diameter is more than 10 cm, first perform undercut (3) and cross-cut at a distance (A) of about 25 cm from the final cut.

Using a 4.5 mm round file, sharpen all cutters to a 30° angle. Make sure that one fifth (20%) of the file’s diameter is always held above the cutter’s top plate. 2. After all cutters are sharpened, use a depth gauge joiner (A) to measure the height of each depth gauge. 3. As required, lower the depth gauges to a height of 0.025 inch. Use a flat file.
