GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL
Thebarandchainrequirelubrication.    The
chain  oiler  provides  lubrication  to   the
chain and guide bar. Be sure to fill the bar
oil tank before each cutting session. Lack
of oil will quickly  ruin the bar and chain.
Too little oil will cause overheating shown
by smoke coming from  the chain and/or
discoloration of  the bar.   For  maximum
guide bar and chain life, we recommend
you use  Poulan or  Poulan PRO chain
saw bar oil. If Poulan or Poulan PRO bar
oil is not available, you may use  a good
grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to ob-
tain Poulan or Poulan PRO brand. Use a
funnel to fill the tank. Replace oil cap se-
curely. Check oil level after every 15 min-
utes of operation.

When cutting  with the  saw, the  chain
