7. Operation
check the oil level more frequently
than at fuel tank refills.
The guide bar and chain are
lubricated automatically by a pump
that operates whenever the chain
rotates. The pump is set at the
factory to deliver a minimum flow
rate, but it can be adjusted in the
field. A temporary increase in oil flow
is often desirable when cutting things
like hardwood or wood with a lot of
pitch.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1. Stop the engine and make sure
the stop switch is in the STOP
position.
2. Place the unit on its side with the
oil reservoir up. (OP7)

The oil flow adjusting screw must be
pressed in slightly in order to turn.
Failure to do so could damage the
pump and screw.
3. With a screwdriver, push in on the
oil flow rate adjusting screw and
turn in the desired direction (there
are three incremental settings):
(a) Clockwise-decrease
lubrication.
(b) Counter clockwise-increase
lubrication.
