CS4518B CHAINSAW
OPERATION
Filling Fuel Tank
1. Shut off engine and allow engine to completely cool
before refilling the fuel tank.
2. Move to a well-ventilated area, outdoors, away from
flames and sparks.
3. Clean debris from area around the fuel cap.
4. Loosen fuel cap slowly.
5. Carefully add fuel without spilling.
Note: Use a minimum 87 octane gasoline with NO
ethanol content (50:1 mixture). If using an
ethanol blended fuel, a fuel stabilizer, mixed to
manufacturer specifications, is recommended.
6. Do not fill gas tank completely full; allow space for fuel
to expand.
7. Immediately replace fuel cap and tighten. Wipe off
spilled fuel and allow to dry before starting engine.
The saw chain needs to stay lubricated during operation of
the unit. Aside from the fuel reservoir on the chainsaw, there
is also a bar and chain oil reservoir. Use only oil that has been
designed specifically for use with chainsaws. Bar and chain oil
has chemical properties which allow it to adhere to the saw
chain and provide better lubrication while the chain is in mo-
tion.
The saw is equipped with an adjustable automatic oiler.
The oiler and oil reservoir are designed such that a full tank of
fuel will run out before a full tank of oil. This ensures that the
bar and chain will receive a constant flow of oil during opera-
tion. Always top off your oil reservoir when re-fueling.
To adjust the automatic oiler you must first locate the oiler
screw positioned on the under-side of the chainsaw (SEE
FIGURE 4). Turn the screw counter-clockwise to increase and
clockwise to decrease oil flow.
NOTE: It is recommended for the use of your chainsaw to
leave the automatic oiler on full flow.
Filling the bar and chain oil reservoir
1. While the engine is cool for re-fueling, clean debris
from area around the bar and chain oil cap.
2. Loosen oil cap slowly.
3. Carefully add bar and chain oil without spilling.
4. Do not fill oil reservoir completely full; allow space for
oil to expand.
