 WARNING

Never work without chain lubricant. If the saw chain is 
running without lubricant, guide bar and saw chain can 
be damaged. It is therefore essential to check the oil 
level in the oil level gauge frequently and every time 
before starting to use the chain saw.

1. Clear surface around the oil cap to prevent 

contamination.

2.  Unscrew and remove the cap from the oil tank.
