CHECKING OIL SUPPLY
After starting the engine, run the chain at medium
speed and see if chain oil is scattered off as shown
in the figure. (OP1)
(1) Chain oil
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 refueling the saw.
■
ADJUSTING OIL FLOW RATE
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 pitch.
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. (OP2)
