KICKBACK CONDITIONS AND PREVENTION
Kickback occurswhen the upper quadrant of the bar
nose contacts a solid object in the wood or is pinched.
This type of contactstops the chain for an instant. The
result is a lightningfast reverse reaction of the chain;
causing the bar to "kick"up and back toward the
operator. Under some circumstances the operator (Fig. 1) may suffersevere or fatal injury. Kickback may also occur during limbing (See LIMBING).
FIGURE 1
Kickback path

TO AVOID KICKBACK The best protection from personal injury that may
result from Kickback is to avoid Kickback situations.
Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands and maintain a secure grip.
Be aware of the location of the guide bar nose at all times (Fig. 2).
FIGURE 2
Donot let the barcontacttheground
Never bring the nose of the guide bar in contact
with any object. Do not cut limbs with the nose of the guide bar. Be especially careful with small,
tough limbs, small-size brush, and saplings which may easily catch the chain.
Don't overreach.
Don't cut above shoulder height. Do not use a
chain saw while standing on a tree or laddeH
Begin and continue cutting at fullthrottle.
Cut only one lot at a time.
Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous
cut.
Do not attempt plunge cuts ifyou are not familiar
with these cutting techniques.
Be alert of shifting log or other forces that may
cause the cut to close and pinch the chain.
Maintain saw chain properly. Cut with a correctly
sharpened, properly tensioned chain at all times (Use a 4.5-mm file).
Stand to the side of cutting path of the chain saw.
If the cut closes on the bar, STOP the saw. Use a
wedge to free the saw. Do not try to free it by
pullingthe handle.
WARNING: A dull or improperly sharpened chain may
increase the dsk of Kickback. Always cut with a properly sharpened saw. Improper lowering of the
depth gauges also increases the chance of kickback. ABOUT THE CHAIN BRAKE
The main components of the chain brake assembly are the lever-handguard and a brake band around the clutch drum. The brake is automatically engaged when
kickback occurs. When engaged, the brake band clamps down around the clutch drum, stopping both
the drum and the chain in less than 1/10 of one
s_cond. The chain brake can also be engaged manually by pushing the lever-handguard towards the
front of the saw until a loud click is heard. The saw should not be run above idle for more than a few
seconds with the brake engaged; otherwise damage to the saw will occur.
To propedy disengage the chain brake; firmly pull the
lever-hand guard back towards the handle (Fig. 3) until a loud click is heard. Failure to completely disengage
the brake propedy will cause excessive heat build-up on the brake band which, in turn, can cause severe
damage to the saw body. RGURE 3

GASOLINE AND OIL MIXTURE
Importantl Do not use automotive or boat oils in your
chain saw. These oils do not have proper additives for 2-cycle, air-cooled engines and can cause engine damage.
The 2-cycle engine on this product requires a fuel
mixtureof regular unleaded gasoline and a high quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil for lubrication of the
bearings and other moving pads. The correct fuel- oil mixture is 40:1 (see Fuel Mixture Chart). Too littleoil or the incorrectoil type will cause poor performance
and may cause the engine to overheat and seize. Gasoline and oil must be premixed in a clean
approved fuel container. Always use fresh regular unleaded gasoline. This engine is codified to operate
on unleaded gasoline.

FUEL MIXTURE CHART
GASOUNE OIL
I Gallon 3.2 Ounces
2.5 Ganons 8.0 Ounces
MPORTANT! ,Alcohol blended fuels called gasohol using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture,
_hich leads to fuel - oil separation'and formation of Lcidsduring storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, then
run the fuel out of the carburetor and fuel lines by
starling the engine and letting it run until it stops. Use fresh fuel next season. See storage instructionsfor
eddltior_l information. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
2-CYCLE OIL Craftsman 2-cycle, air-cooled engine oil is specially
blended with fuel stabilizers. If you do not use this Sears oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer, such as
Craftsman No. 33500, to your fuel mix. FUEL STABILIZER
A fuel stabilizer is an acceptable altemative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline mixture in fuel
storage container and mix well. Always follow the fuel mix ratio found on the stabilizer container. Run engine
at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor, You do not have to
drain the fuel tank for storage if you are using fuel stabilizer.
BAR AND CHAIN OIL
We recommend a special chain oil (low sling, high tack) to lubricate your bar and chain; consult your local
Sears retailer. During chain saw operations at temperatures below freezing (0°C/32°F), the chain oil
viscosity increases creating an ovedoad to the
automatic oil pump. Overloading results in damage to
the driver gear, pump mechanism, and bar and chain. A special cold-climate chain oil should be used. Refill
chain oil each time you refuel. CAUTION: Never use waste engine oil; it will damage the pump.
OIL PUMP Your chain saw is equipped with an automatic oil
pump that pumps oil to the chain when the chain is rotating. You may adjust the amount of oil pumped to
compensate for long bars and chains or for extremely hard or frozen wood. Adjust the flow rate by turning the
adjustment screw. The adjustment screw is located on the bottom of the saw below the markings + - on the
same side as the bar and chain (Fig. 5). Turning
counterclockwise (+) increases the amount of oil, clockwise (-) decreases the flow. Never cut without
chain lubrication. Check proper level before each cutting.

STOPPING ENGINE
To stop engine, release the throttle lever. Move the
On-Off switch to the oft (STOP) position. STARTING COLD
NOTE: Check chain tension before startingl
1. Tum the on-off switch to the on "1"position.
2. Pull out the choke knob. The fast idle stays set untilthe throttle isdepressed, at which time the
red pin inside the choke lever retracts (idle position).
CAUTION: Retain a secure gdp on the saw using the foot and hand position for starting the chain saw in a
safe manner.
3. Pump fuel primer until it is approximately ½ full with fuel and increased resistance is felt. Proceed
with cold starting instructions.
4. Slowly pull on starter grip until rope encounters
some resistance from starter pulley. Next, pu_l rope firmly and rapidly in an upward motion. Guide
rope back into starter rather than letting itsnap back.
5. Repeat rope pulls until engine attempts to start, usually 2-3 pulls, no more than 5; then immediately push in choke knob.
6. Once the engine is steadily running depress and
release the throttle lever to allow engine to operate at idle speed. NOTE: Depressing (and then
releasing) the throttle lever releases the half- throttle automatic lock and the red indicator pin on the choke knob retracts. The engine continues to
runat idle speed.
7. Should the engine fail to start after several
repeated starting attempts, the engine has already
been "flooded"(too much fuel mixture in cylinder).
In this case, remove the spark plug and dry it. Set
the ignitionswitch to "stop"and the throttle lever to
fullthrottle. Crank engine by pulling the starter
rope several times to vent fuel mix and vapors
from cylinder and crankcase. Check spark plug
gap (.015-.020"); correct if necessary. Reinstall spark plug;connect spark plug cap. Set ignition
b
STARTING WARM I. Pull choke knob out.
2. Push choke knob back into open position, red
indicator pin on choke button remains visible.
3. Crank engine and allow to run briefly.
4. Depress throttle lever to allow engine to run at idle speed (indicator pin disappears).
Ifyou are unsuccessful in starting the engine, consult
the Troubleshooting guide in your Craftsman chain saw handbook or contact a Sears Sen/ice Center.
Before felling a tree, survey itcarefully and answer these questions:
1. In which direction does the tree lean?
2. Is the condition of the trunk sound, hollow or partially rotten?
3. From which direction is the wind blowing?
4. What is the wind velocity? CAUTION: Wind
direction and velocity may change. Be alert! Felling should not be attempted in high winds.
5. Is the crown (top) of the tree more dense and
heavier on one side?
These are factors and forces which will influence the line of fall and escape routes,
Survey the area; make sure that felled trees cannot strike any objects such as power lines, buildings, cars and block roadways or railroad tracks. Insure that
neither persons nor animals are within the danger
zone (measured distance away from tree that is21/= times the tree height).
RGURE 6
Clear escape route by removing undergiowth likely to
interfere with escape. Be sure to warn others by ....
shouting =TIMBER" when a tree is about to fall. Brief each team member on proper escape procedures and
signals. Have visual contact with team members prior to and during felling operation. Practice a "dry run"
escape! Prior to felling prepare the immediate site and the base of the tree by clearing away undergrowth with
an axe, not the saw. Undergrowth can tangle up or snag the saw Fhain resulting in serious injuryor saw damage. Clean the trunk of brush and remove small
branches from the lower trunk with a small axe.
Remove large buttress roots first. Start by cutting the
largest buttress root. Remove each by cutting it vertically first, then horizontally (Fig. 7). Small buttress
rootscan be removed when felling is complete unless
they hamper the felling process.
RGURE 7
NOTE: These basic rules apply to felling a single tree or many. However, and additional organizing is required when felling several trees. Preliminary
preparation must be done outside the danger zone. Be sure others know where you are and what you are doing at all times.
CAUTION: DO not try to fell a tree along a line different from its natural line of fall unless you have
considerable experience.
Determine carefully the correct line of fall. Clear two safe exit paths to the rear (clear away escape routes for each member of the felling team). Do not place
tools and equipment in the path. Make your escape route at a 45 ° angle back and away from the line of fall "
(Fig. 6).
When felling, assume a balanced body position (Fig.
8). Position the feet parallel and apart to obtain a steady stance and stand at the side ofthe tree. Lower the point of gravity by bending the knees (comfortably
arch your back). Keep the saw near the body, hold it firmlywith both hands, and lock the thumbs under the
handlebar at all times.
7
FIGURE 8
CAUTION: Maintain good footing, body balance and insure a safe escape path has been established.
Never fell a tree without making a proper felling notch (undercut).
The next cut (Fig. 11) is called the felling cut (back cut). Make it at least 2" higher than the lower cut of the
felling notch by cutting horizontally and parallel to the felling notch. Do not cut through to the felling notch.
Leave a "hinge" of uncut wood approximately 1/10 of
the tree diameter (Fig. 11).
CUTTING FELLING NOTCH Start fellingby making a careful felling notch
(undercut) first (Fig. 9). This notch determines the line of fall. Position it at a dght angle. Cut the felling notch
to a depth of about t/, of the trunk diameter. It must be wide enough and should never be higher than its
depth.
FIGURE 9
Felling
To make the felling notch, start with the upper cut
facing the line of fall. This is a directional cut downwards at an angle (Fig. 10, 1). Next, make the
lower felling notch cut. Cut hodzontally and straight into the tree until it meets the upper cut forming a
wedge (Fig. 10, 2).
RGURE 10
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, do not cut through the hinge! A proper hinge prevents the tree from possibly =sitting back" or "butt kicking" the back of the stump, twisting off the stump, or falling prematurely
and uncontrolled. When felling a large tree, drive wedges into the felling
cut. Use only wooden or plastic wedges. Never use steel or iron wedges which can cause kickback and
damage to the chain. Wedges prevent the tree from settling back on the bar and help control the direction
of the fall toward the felling notch (fig. 12)o
FIGURE 12
SMALL TREES
If the trunk diameter issmaller than the guide bar
cutting length, be careful making the felling cut and forming the hinge. Once the felling cut has been made,
,place the bucking spike at the base line dght behind
the hinge, and do a fan cut (Fig. 13).
FIGURE 13
The ex_ when the tree is on a slope; then the
lower cut should be on an upward angle to cut a larger, more open wedge and to gain greater control
dudng the fall of the tree (Fig. 11). FIGURE 11
Direction of fan cut
Hinge_
The bucking spike is the toothed metal piece attached to the front of the saw body and found to the left of the
bar. With the bucking spike teeth against the logfirm
contact between the saw body and the log are
maintained. A fan cut isaccomplished by first
contacting the teeth of the bucking spike to the log and then, using the bucking spike as the pivot point,
rotating the bar through the log in a counterclockwise direction.

LIMBING (Removing limbs from felled trees)
WARNING: Of all the cutting operations, limbing is the
one that holds the most chance of unforeseen injury. The danger of kickback is most prevalent during limbing if the bar nose comes in contact with another
branch or the side of the tree (see "Kickback
Conditions and Prevention"). Professional loggers have developed various safe,
efficient and effective limbing techniques which you must follow. The following instructions are a few of the
basic safe work habits for a chain saw operator while limbing or removing branches from a tree.
.1. Before starting to limb, be sure the branch is on a
safe side of the log, uphill, and on the side opposite of any potential motion the cut branch
might make (Fig. 14).
FIGURE 14
6. Craftsman saws are designed to allow the powerhead to glide over the trunk during limbing.
Cut the branches in a swinging back and forth movement with the saw remaining on the tree.
This is known as the =pendulum method."
7. Prior to cutting the branches, consider the direction in which the branches may fall. This will
determine whether you cut from the top down
(overbuck, Fig. 16) or from below up (underbuck, Fig. 17).
8. Watch out for branches under tension which can
snap back. Tension must be removed before these branches can be safely cut. Beware of
potential kickback situations.
9. If large branches are to be used for firewood, cut them to length while still attached to the tree. This is an easier and safer method than bucking
branches on the ground (Fig. 16 & 17).
10. If you tire during limbing, STOP! Rest, then resume work.
11. Never change the position of the feet or hands
while in the midst of a cut. ._
FIGURE 16 Overbucklng
2. Do not stand on a log while limbing. You may slip, fall or the log may roll. Maintain sure footing.
3. Never use the bar nose to cut branches.
4. Bend the knees slightly. Position the right leg behind the left side of the chain saw and the left
leg forward and outward away from contact range
of bar. Assume a comfortable stance with the feet
spread apart. CAUTION: If you change position,
the bar must always be on the side of the tree
opposite you. Keep the tree trunk between you and the bar.
5. Rest the chain saw body on the trunk as much as possible(Fig. 15).
FIGURE 15
FIGURE 17 Underbucking
9
BUCKING (The cutting of a log into sections):
1. Be alert to the stress and motion of logs. Always
position yourself to prevent the rolling of a cut log section or the stress forces within a log from
acting against you.
2. Never stand directly behind the chain saw when cutting. Stand to the left side of the cutting path of
the chain saw to reduce the chances of injury from
kickback or a broken chain shooting backwards towards you (Fig. 18, 1).
3. Bend the knees slightly. Assume a comfortable
stance with the feet spread apart (Fig. 18, 2).
4. Keep the left elbow straightwhile cutting (Fig. 18,
3).
5. Lock the thumb under the handlebar (Fig. 18, 4). FIGURE 18
FIGURE 20
WARNING: Logs and branches may be under stress or tension. Before cutting check to see ifstress exists.
If stress does exists, start to cut on the right side of the log or branch to prevent pinching and possible
kickback situations so that the branch does not whip back and strike you.
9. If the chain bar is pinched while bucking, shut off
the engine immediately.
IMPORTANT! Ifthe bar and chain become pinched, do not try to wrench or twist the bar free. Move the log
intoanother position or lift up with a rod or lever (Fig.
21). FIGURE 21
6. Set the bucking spikes firmly against the log.
7. When cutting firewood, place the log on a suitable support such as a saw buck (Fig. 19).
RGURE 19
8. Free hanging ends can be cut off without risk of
bar pinching. But if the wood is not to split or tear, make an undercut (underbucking, Fig. 20, 1) of
about 1/3 the depth of the log diameter, then apply the finishing cut (overbucking, Fig. 20, 2).
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The warranty on thischain saw does not cover items
that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain chain saw as instructed in this
manual. All items in the Maintenance section of this manual
should be checked at least once each season.
1. Service more often when operating in dusty or dirtyconditions.
2. Once a year you should replace the spark plug and clean or replace the air filter. A new spark
plug and a clean air filter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and last
longer.

CHECK CHAIN SHARPNESS
A sharp chain makes wood chips. A dullchain makes
a sawdust powder and cuts slowly. Chain sharpening requires special tools. You can purchase sharpening
tools at Sears or go to a professional chain sharpener.
REFILL BAR AND CHAIN OIL
Your saw will use approximately one tank of bar oil for
every tank of fuel mix. Always fill bar oil tank when you fill the fuel tank. For maximum bar and chain life,we
recommend you use Craftsman chain saw bar oil. If Craftsman bar oil is not available, you may use a high quality bar and chain oil. CAUTION: Only use bar and chain oil; do not use motor oil. Motor oilwill damage
the saw.
INSPECT BAR Keep bar rails square and flat. Check for inside groove
wear as follows. Place a straight edge (Fig. 23, A) against side of bar and one cutter. If there is clearance
(Fig. 23, B) between bar and straight edge, the bar rails are good. If the chain leans (Fig._24) and there is no clearance between bar and straight'edge (Fig. 24,
B), the bar rails are wom. Straightening worn bars, under certain circumstances, can only be done by service technicians. Replace bar if un-repairable. IMPORTANT: To prevent One-sided wear of the bar, flip the bar over after each chain sharpening.

CLEAN FUEL FILTER The fuel filter is located inside the fuel tank and is
attached to the fuel line. To clean, scrub with a small
brush. Replace if deteriorated, INSPECT MUFFLER
Inspect muffler every 25 hours of use and replace if corroded.
CLEAN SPARK ARRESTOR SCREEN (if installed) After every 25 hours of use the spark arrestor screen must be cleaned. Replace screen if deteriorating (part
no. 2048391). To clean:
1. Remove screen.
IMPORTANTI The bar is designed specificallyto be a track for the chain. Never use bar to pry, liftor twist.
2. Clean using a wire brush.
3. Reinstall.
CLEAN ENGINE COOLING RNS
For best performance, keep dirtfrom accumulating
around the engine cooling fins. Clogged cooling fins cause the engine to run hotter and shorten engine life.
Cooling fins may be cleaned using a toothbrush or stiff bdstle brush.

CLEAN AIR FILTER & PRE-FILTER Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged
by using a dirty air filter and/or pre-filter. Replace if deterioration occurs. Service more often ifyou use your chain saw in very dusty or dirtyconditions.
To Clean Air Filter & Pre-Filter:
1. Remove air filter Cover.
2. Remove pre-fllter and air filter (Fig. 28). To
remove air filter, slide retaining clipoff and pull up on air filter.
3. Clean air filter with soft brush or tap lightly, If heavily soiled, rinse in a mild soap and water

the chain tension. Additionally, disconnect the spark plug wire. Wear gloves when handling chains to
prevent injury. To adjust the tension:
1. Loosen the bar nuts using the Combi-wrench.
2. Turn the tension screw clockwise (Fig. 30, 1) until 'the chain touches and no longer sags at the
underside of the bar.
FIGURE 30
3. The saw chain is correctly tensioned when the chain fits snuggly against the underside of the bar,
but can stillbe easily rotated on the bar by hand. Be sure the chain fits correctly on the sprocket and
the bar (Fig. 30). NOTE: The chain will not rotate if
the chain brake is engaged.
4. Hold up the bar tip.Tighten the bar nuts securely with the Combi-wrench provided. Only use the
provided Combi-wrench to tighten the bar nuts (Fig. 31). CAUTION: Excessive force will stripthe

plate (Fig. 34, A); and the oilier opening (Fig 34,
B).
3. Turn the chain tensioning screw (Fig. 34, C)
counterclockwise to position the tension lug (Fig. 34, D) to the far left.

Tocomplywithemissionregulations,thecarburetor
mixtureispre-setatthefactoryandcannotbe adjustedwithoutthepropertools.Anymixture adjustmentmustbeperformedbyaservicecenter.
The idle speed can be adjusted. The idle speed set screw is located on the top of the unit and to the left of
the spark plug. It is indicated by the letter "T.* To adjust the idle speed, turn clockwise to increase and
counterclockwise to decrease idle speed. Idle speed is 2500 ± 100 RPM.
Prepare your chain saw for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or
more.
BEFORE STORING
1. Use soap and water to wipe down unit.
2. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and fasteners
are securely fastened. Inspect for damaged or worn pads. Replace ifnecessary.
ENGINE It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in
essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage. Alcohol
blended fuels, such as gasohol, ethanol, or methanol, can attract moisture, which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
Do not store gasoline from one season to the next. Two-cycle mix ages quickly and can cause engine
damage. Replace your gasoline container if it starts to rust. Rust or dirt in your gasoline will cause engine
problems.
6, Pour a few drops of oil into the cylinder.
7. Pull the starter handle slowly to distribute the oil.
8. Replace with new spark plug.
STORAGE TIPS
If possible, store your unit indoors and cover itto give it protection from dust and dirt. Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot breath, which will allow condensation to
form and will cause your unitto rust. IMPORTANT!
Never cover chain saw while engine and muffler are stillwarm.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage of 30 days or more.
Follow these instructions:
1. Drainthe fueltank
2. Start engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty (The engine will stop.)
3. Use fresh gas next season.
4. If you use a fuel stabilizer, the gasoline can be left
in the tank. CAUTION: Never store chain saw
inside a building with fuel in the tank! Fumes can concentrate and possibly reach a source of
ignition.Allow engine to cool before storage.
5. Remove spark plug.
