Storage - Fuel storage laws vary by locality. Contact your local government for the laws affecting your area.
As a precaution, store fuel in an approved, airtight container. Store in a well-ventilated, unoccupied building,
away from sparks and flames.
Stored fuel ages. Do not mix more fuel than you expect to use in thirty (30) days, ninety (90) days when a
fuel stabilizer is added.
Stored two-stroke fuel may separate. ALWAYS shake fuel container thoroughly before each use.
Lubricating the Guide Bar and Saw Chain
Automatic Oiling System
1. Wipe debris from around oil fill cap.
2. Remove oil fill cap and fill reservoir with a quality, low
viscosity guide bar and saw chain oil.
To prevent plastic deterioration, do not use synthetic or silicone
based oil
Adjusting Automatic Oiler
1. From bottom of gear case, turn adjustment screw (A)
clockwise to decrease oil volume - counter clockwise to
increase oil volume
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..
Note: Very little visible oil on the saw chain will provide sufficient lubrication.
