Checking oil supply
After starting the engine, run the chain at medium speed
and see if chain oil has scattered off, as shown in the
figure.
(1) Chain oil
NOTE
The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient to provide about
40 minutes of cutting time (when set to deliver the mini-
mum flow rate, or about as long as you’ll get from a tank
of fuel). Be sure to refill the oil tank every time when refu-
elling the saw.
Adjusting Oil Flow Rate
WARNING
Never fill the oil reservoir nor adjust the oiler with
the engine running.
IMPORTANT
An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consump-
tion, requiring more frequent checks on the oil reservoir.
To ensure sufficient lubrication, it may be necessary to
check the oil level more frequently than at fuel tank refills.
The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by
a pump that operates whenever the chain rotates. The
pump is set at the factory to deliver a minimum flow rate,
but it can be adjusted in the field. A temporary increase
in oil flow is often desirable when cutting things like hard-
wood or wood with a lot of pitch.
8. Operation
(PS-EX only)
Adjust the pump as follows:
1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in
the OFF position.
2. Place the unit on its side with the oil reservoir up.

IMPORTANT
The oil flow adjusting screw must be pressed in slightly
in order to turn. Failure to do so could damage the
pump and screw.
3. With a screwdriver, push in on the oil flow rate adjust-
ing screw and turn in the desired direction (there are
three incremental settings):
(a) Clockwise-decrease lubrication
(b) Counter clockwise-increase lubrication
(c) Middle
WARNING
• Always wear work gloves made of leather or some
other sturdy material when using the polesaw.
• Falling branches may fall onto the face or into the
eyes, resulting in injuries, scratches, and cuts, and
for this reason you should always be sure to wear
a helmet and face protector when using your
polesaw.
