BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require continuous lubri-
cation.  Lubrication is provided by the auto-
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
shownby smokecomingfromthechainand/
or discoloration of the bar.

IMPORTANTPOINTS TOREMEMBER
When pulling the starter rope, do not use the
full extent of the rope as this can cause the
rope to break.  Do not let starter rope snap
back.  Hold the handle and let  the rope re-
wind slowly.
For cold  weather starting,  start the unit  at
FULL CHOKE; allow the engine to warm up
before squeezing the throttle trigger.
In freezing weather oil will thicken, making it
necessary to  thin bar and  chain oil with  a
small amount (5 to 10%) of #1 Diesel Fuel or
kerosene.
Bar and  chain oil must be  free
flowing for the oil system to pump enough oil
for adequate lubrication.
