• After starting the engine, run the
chain at medium speed and see if

in the figure. (OP6)
(1) Chain oil

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

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
