Lubrication
Saw chain is automatically lubricated when the tool is in
operation. Check the amount of remaining oil in the oil
tank periodically.
To rell the tank, lay the chain saw on its side and
remove the oil tank cap. The proper amount of oil is 200
ml. After relling the tank, make sure that the oil tank
cap is tightened securely.
