Oil will feed onto the guide
bar and chain. Press
squeeze
bulb
at least once before

oil level
often
by looking
at
oil sight level hole. Oil sight level hole is on left
side of saw, between
front handle and front hand
guard,
Keep cord away from cutting
area. Make sure cord
does not catch on branches
or logs during cutting.
Inspect
