OPERATION

Adding the chain lubricating oil
WARNING
Never work without chain lubricant. If the saw
chain is running without lubricant, the guide bar
and the saw chain can be damaged. It is essential to
frequently check the oil level in the oil level gauge
and before starting to use the chain saw.
Keep the reservoir more than ¼ full to ensure sufficient oil
is available for the job.
Note: It is recommended to use a vegetable based chain
oil when pruning trees. Mineral oil may harm trees. Never
use waste oil automotive oil, or very thick oils. These
could damage the chain saw. Clear surface around the oil
cap to prevent contamination.
Holding the chain saw
Always hold the chain saw with your right hand on the
rear handle and your left hand on the front handle. Grip
both handles with the thumbs and fingers encircling the
handles.
