BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require oontinuws lubrf-
cation. Lubrication is provided by the auk+
matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept
filled. Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain. Too little oil will cause overheating
shown by smoke coming from the chain
and/or discoloration of the bar.

In freezing weather oil will thicken, making it
necessary to thin bar and chain oil with a
small amount (Sto 1096) of #l Diesel Fuel or
kerosene. Bar and chain oil must be free
