Clean the surface around the fuel cap to prevent

Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect
the o-ring.
Immediately replace the fuel cap and hand
tighten. Wipe up any fuel spillage.
NOTE: It is normal for the engine to emit smoke
during and after the first use.
WARNING:
Always shut off engine before fueling. Never
remove fuel cap or add fuel to a machine with
a running or hot engine. Make sure unit is sit-
ting on a flat, level surface and only add fuel
outdoors. If the engine is hot, allow to cool for
at least five minutes before adding fuel. Imme-
diately replace fuel cap after fueling and tighten
securely. Move at least 30 ft. from refueling site
before starting the engine. Do not smoke and
stay away from open flames and sparks. Fail-
ure to heed this warning can result in possible
personal injury.
BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
See Figure 3.
The bar and chain require continuous lubrication.
Lubrication is provided by the automatic oiler
system when the oil tank is kept filled. Lack of
lubricant will quickly ruin the bar and chain. Too
little lubricant will cause overheating shown by
smoke coming from the chain and/or discolor-
ation of the bar. Lubrication can be increased or
decreased by turning (up to 1/4 turn maximum)
the adjustment screw located on the bottom of
the crankcase with the screwdriver end of the
included combination wrench.
WARNING:
NEVER adjust the automatic oiler system when
the engine is running. Failure to do so could
cause serious personal injury.

OPERATION
ADDING BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICANT
See Figure 3.
Use a bar and chain lubricant designed for lubri-
cating chain saw chains. They are formulated to
extend bar and chain life by protecting against
wear and reducing friction and heat. Chain saw
should use approximately one tank of lubricant
per tank of fuel.
