NOTE:
The automatic oiler is preset to deliver a sufcient oil discharge volume during normal
operating conditions. During heavy or dry cutting conditions, the oil discharge volume
may be increased to assure adequate lubrication. If oil is leaking from the bar cover
area, reduce the oil discharge volume. Rell the oil reservoir with each tank of fuel.
