MAINTENANCE
Changing the Oil:
Unplug the tool.
Place the base of the saw on a horizontal surface.
Remove the oil plug using a 6 mm hex wrench.
Tip the saw up and let oil drain out into an appropriate
oil container.
Replace the oil using a small funnel (less than 1/4 in.
spout). Take care to let air out while putting new oil in to
avoid spilling. Fill only with .5 oz. (15cc, or one tablespoon)
Mobil SHC 636 Oil.
Fill the gear case until the oil level is between the two
marks on the dipstick. Do not overfill. If the level of oil
raises above the second mark on the dipstick while the
base is on a level surface, overheating may occur.
Replace the oil plug with a 6 mm hex wrench. Do not
overtighten. The O-ring under the head should be com-
pressed slightly. Overtightening will cause the o-ring to
unseat and not seal properly.
NOTE: With a new saw, change the oil following the first
ten hours of use. This will prolong the life of the tool by
removing the gear particles from the oil when the gears
are breaking in.
