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.
