OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
Before Starting
O Check the chain tension. Is the chain sharp?
O Are the handles clean of gasand oil?
O D_d you fill the fuel AND oil tan_.s?
FUEL and OIL
Fuel Mix: T6 parts gasoline to I part oil (T/2 pint oi! to one
gallon gasoline). Use air cooled two cycle engine oil for fuel
mix.
When preparing fuel mixture, mix only the amount needed for
the job you are to do. Do not use fuel mixture that has been
stored longer than two (2) months. Fuel mixture stored longer
than this wilt cause hard starting and poor performance of
your saw. If fuel mix has been stored in your saw longer than
this _ime it should also be removed and filled with a fresh
mixture before using•
Chain Oil: For cold weatl_er operation, above 30 ° F, use
straight Craftsman Bar and (;hain Lubricant. 30 ° to 0°, use 5%
diesel fuel #1 or kerosene and 95% Lubricant; below 0°F,
use 10% diesel fuel #1 or kerosene and 90% LubdcanL If Bar
and Chain Lubricant is not diluted adequately, the oil system
of the chain saw will not pump enough oil for adequate lu-
brication of Bar and _'-_=ain .
A WORD ABOUT CHAIN OILING
1• Fill the oil tank each time you fill the fuel tank. Lack of
oil onthe chain will quickly ruin the bar and chain.
2. You will use at least 1/3 tank of oil for each tank of gas. If
you use less, check for a plugged oil hole in the guide bar.
•Use clean oil. Do not let sawdust or dirt into the oil tank.
Clean the oil cap and the area around it before removing.
The oil tank is pressurized for pump operation• A little oil
will pump out after the engine stops. Oil on the bar and
chain will drip off after use. Let the saw stand and cool
off:Wipe the bottom clean before storing•
Move bystanders and obstructions welt out of reach! Release
the trigger after the engine starts.
1. Move the choke knob as far asitwil] go in the direction of
the arrow.
2. Turn the switch On (to the left|,
CAUTION:
STARTING
3. Hold the rear handle in your right hand and squeeze the
trigger.
4. Hold the starter handle in your left hand,
5. Push the saw away from you while pulling the starter
quickly.
HOLD THE SAW FIRMLY'. Do not let the starter snap
back. Hold the handle end let the rope r_owindslowly.
6. After a few pulls, the engine wilt fire.
7. Return the choke to its original position.
8. Pull until the engine star_s• Allow 8 to 10 pulls for a new
unit or one which has been stored for time.
The chain must not move when the engine idles• See
maintenance section.
9. ff engine does not fire after 5 to 6 pulls, it may be flooded.
Push choke off (clockwise| and pull starter several times
while holding trigger at wide open throttle. If saw has run
out of fuel, 8 to 10 pulls with choke on may be required
to restart engine. When restarting a hot ,engine, or one
which has just been refueled, you may have to choke the
engine for one or two pufl_
10.
To stop engine, push switch to "off" position. The engine
may also be stopped by pushing the choke lever to the
right (COu_ter-clockwise).
Push the saw away from you while puUin9 the starter quickly•
CUTTING TIPS
_1r Read the safety tips in the front of this manual. Always
keep your chain sharp.
Plan Ahead
Check The Wind -- If it is strong enough to move the top of
the tree, DON T CUT. Come back another day!
Check The Lean-Tie a weight to a piece of string about 3 feet
. tong. Hang the weight in your line of sight. The string is a
good Verticat llne to help you judge the lean of the tree.
The tree wilt try to fall the way it is leaning.
Check The Weight Distribution -- A tr_e is heavier on the side
with the most limbs, tt wil! try to f_l.l on its heavy side.
Trim a few limbs to "balance" the t#ee.
Clear The Work Area -- You need a clean ar_a at! around the
tree for good footing. Get everything out of the area where
the tree will fall People, pets, cars, e_tc.
Find a Retreat Path - Know which way you are going when
the tree starts to fail. I_ake sure it is€lear.
