CLEARING SPROCKET COVER OF
DEBRIS
While operating the chain saw, wood chips, small
twigs, and other debris can occasionally build up
inside the sprocket cover. To properly maintain the
saw and keep it in good working order, periodic
removal of this debris may be required. To prop-
erly clear debris from the sprocket cover:
1. Unplug chain saw.
2. Loosen and remove guide bar nut (see Figure
10).
3. Turn chain tensioning screw counterclockwise
to loosen chain until sprocket cover is easily
removed.
4. After sprocket cover is removed, clear all
chips, twigs, and debris.
WARNING: Use caution when
clearing debris that is around chain.
Cutting edges on chain are sharp.
Use protective gloves when working
around or handling chain.
5. Once debris has been removed, follow steps 7
through 13 on pages 9 and 10 in the Assembly
section to re-assemble the sprocket cover to
the chain saw.

OILING CHAIN
Manual Oil System
Always check oil level before using saw. Do not
attempt to operate the oil system while saw is
in operation. To oil chain, press squeeze bulb.
Oil will feed onto the guide bar and chain. Press
squeeze bulb at least once before each cut. Check
oil level often by looking at oil level through side
of oil bottle (see Figure 9).
Note: It is normal for oil to seep when saw
is not in use. It is necessary to empty oil
tank after each use to prevent seepage.
