NOTE
!
The oil reservoir has a capacity sufficient to provide about 40 minutes of cutting time (when set to
deliver the minimum 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 refuelling the saw.
ADJUSTING OIL FLOW RATE
WARNING
!
Never fill the oil reservoir nor adjust the oiler with the engine running.
An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consumption, 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 hardwood or wood with a lot of pitches.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the “O” position.
2. Place the unit on its side with the oil reservoir up.
3. With a screwdriver, push in on the oil flow rate adjusting screw and turn in the desired direction
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.
Working with the pole chain saw:
Do not work with an angle higher than 60°. The pole saw will work under higher degrees, but there is the
danger of being injured by branches falling without warning. Keep an eye at the ground while working to
avoid tripping over fallen branches.
Never use the pruner without oil, use bio-degradable chainsaw oil. Please keep in mind that this pruner,
