SPECIAL SAFETY SECTION

GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK

Kickback Is a dangerous reaction that can lead to ser[o us perso hal Injury, Do not rely only on the safety devices provided with yoursaw. Asachain saw user,you must take special safety precautions to help keep your

cutting jobs free from accident or Injury,

KICKBACK WARNING

Kickback'can occur when the moving chain contacts anobjec,tat the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar orwhen the wood closes inand pinches the saw chain

In the cut. Contact at the upperportlon of the tipof the

guidebarcan causethe chain to diginto the object and stop the,chain for an instant, The result is a lightning

fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator. If the saw chain ispinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be"

driven _apidiy backtoward the operator. Eitherofthesa

reactions can cause loss of saw control which can

result inserious persona/ injur_,

"_ PATH

Figure I

REDUCE THE CHANCE OF KICKBACK

1. Recognize that kickback canhappen, With abasic understandingof kickback,you can reduce theele-

ment of surprise which contributes to accidents.

2. Never let the moving chain contact any object at the tip of the guide bar. Figure 1.

3. Keep the working area free from obstructions

such as other trees, branches, rocks, fences, stumps, etc, Figure 2. Eliminate or avoid any

obstructionthat your saw chain could hit while you are cutting through a particular log or branch.

4. Keep your saw chain sharp _ and properly

tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback. Follow manufacturer's chain

sharpening and maintenance instructions. Check tension,at-regular-intervals with the motor stopped,

neverwith thernotorrunning. Make surethatbar clamp

nutsaresecurely tightenedafter tensioning thechain.

5: Begin and continue cutting only with the chain

moving at full speed. If the chain is moving at a slower speed, there is greater chance for kickback to occur.

6. Cut one log at a time.

7. Use extreme caution wheri reentering a previous

cut.

8. Do not attempt plunge cuts.

9. Watch for shifting logs or other forces that could

€losea cut and pinch or fall into the chain.

10. Use the Reduced.Kickback Guide Bar and Low- Kickback Chain speciffed for you rsaw,

Ell BAR AND CHAIN OIL

• The guide bar and cutting chain require con- tinuous lubrication in order to remain in

operating condition.

--Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and

chain.

--Too little oil will cause overheating shown by smoke coming from the chain and/or discoloration of the guide bar raits.

e_0se Sears Bar and Chain Lubricant #71-

36554 to fill the oil tank. Clean SAE 30W oil

may also be.used. Never use waste oil for this

,purpose.

1. IMPORTANT POINTS

a.;Fill the oil tank every time you use the saw. b. Wipe off surfaces before filling with oil to

avoid sawdust or debris accidently falling

into the tank and causing damage.

c. Use a funnel to fill the tank and wipe up all

spills. Do not use the saw until it is wiped

clean an_3is completely dry fr_omspil+iedoil.

.d, Reptace the oil c=,p securely to ensure

proper operation of the oiler.

e, Check the oil level indicator frequently

during use. Locate the indicator in the saw

frame just betow and behind the front han-

dle. Figure 10. If oil is not visible in the slot when saw is upright on a level surface, the

tank requires filling,

_fJ,_bet-.saw stand unplugged for 15 minutes

before stodng. It is normal for a small amount of oil to drip off the bar and chain

when the saw is not in use. The excess oil

should be wiped from the saw before stor- ing.

2. USING THE MANUAL OILER (Model 358.34021)

Model 358.34021 is equipped with an oiler ac- tivator which manually suppfies oil to the bar and

chain,

The oiler activator must be used regularly and

oftenenough to maintain a thin filmof oil on the

-barand chain w'nilethesawis cutting, Itisrecom- msnded that the oileractivater beoperatedsix(6)

times aminute and held for approximately th me (3) seconds each time itis pressed.

a. Operate the offer by pressing down on the

oiler activator with your right thumb. Figure

10.

b. Be sure that you continue to grip handles

firmly while using the oiter activator.

USING THE AUTOMATIC OILER

(Model 358.34031) Model 358.34031 is equipped withan automatic

and manual oiler. The automatic oiler supplies lubrication to the bar and chain at all times.

The manual oiler can be used to prime or sup- plement the automatic oiler, it may be neces-

saw to prime the automatic oiler when the saw

is new, after the oil tank has been emptied, or after a storage period.

a. Operate the manual oiler by pressing down

on the oiler activator with your right thumb.

Figure 10.

b. Be sure that you continue to grip handles

firmiy while using the oiler activator.

c. Prime the oiler by holding clown the button

for about 3-seconds with the sawrunning,

d. Supplement the automatic oiler:

--dudng a long letting cut.

--when cutting a tree or log which is greater in diameter than the guide bar.

_anytime an additional supply of oil is

desired.
