BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require lubrication.
The chain oiler provides continuous
lubrication to the chain and guide bar.
Be sure to fill the bar oil tank before
use (Capacity = 4.6 fl. oz./136 ml).
Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain. Too little oil will cause over-
heating shown by smoke coming from
the chain and/or discoloration of the
bar. For maximum guide bar and
chain life, we recommend you use
CraftsmantR:. chain saw bar oil. If
Craftsman bar oil is not available, you
may use a good grade SAE 30 oil until
you are able to obtain Craftsman
brand. The oil output is automatically
metered during operation.
• Never use waste oil for bar and
chain lubrication.
• Always stop the engine before re-
moving the oil cap.
