GUIDE BAR LUBRICATION (Fig. 31)
For maximum guide bar and chain life, we recommend
you use Craftsman chain saw bar oil. if Craftsman chain
saw bar oil is not available, you may use a good grade
SAE 30 oi! until you are able to obtain Craftsman brand.
The oil output is automatically metered during operation.
Your saw wil! use one tank of bar oil for every tank of
fuel mix.
Always fill the bar oil tank when you fill fuel tank.
