Warning! Always wear protective gloves when

working on your chainsaw.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance on
power tools, switch off and unplug the appliance.
Oiling the chain
You must do this whenever you use a new chain (6) for the
first time. Take the new chain (6) and soak it in chain oil for at
least an hour before using it. Use Black & Decker chain oil.
We recommend that you use only Black & Decker oil during
the lifetime of your chainsaw because mixtures of different oils
could lead to the oil becoming degraded, which can drastically
shorten the lifetime of the saw chain and create additional
risks.
Never use waste oil, thick oil or very thin sewing machine oil.
These may damage your chainsaw.
