Page 5
If an object becomes lodged in the saw, turn engine o, remove the wire from the spark plug and secure, allow to cool before attempting to remove the foreign object.
The clutch will transfer maximum power after about two hours of normal operation. During this break-in period clutch slippage may occur. The clutch should be kept free of oil or other moisture for ecient operation.
Never cut in high wind, bad weather, when visibility is poor, or in very low temperatures. Always check the tree for dead branches that could fall during the felling operation.
Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing and a planned retreat path away from the falling tree.
Always hold the chainsaw rmly with both hands when the engine is running. Use a rm grip with thumb and ngers encircling the chainsaw handles.
When carrying from one place to another, always stop the engine and hold the saw with the guide bar and saw chain behind you and the muer away from your body.
Always inspect the chainsaw for worn, loose, or dam­aged parts. Never operate a chainsaw that has been damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled.
Use extreme caution when cutting small brush and saplings. Thinner material may be caught by the chain and could whip back toward you or pull you o balance.
When cutting limbs under tension, stay alert for “spring back” so you are not struck when the tension in the wood bers is released.
Always shut o the engine before setting the chain­saw down.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of lubricants, oils and fuel.
Kickback
Kickback may occur when the guide bar nose or tip comes into contact with a foreign object, or when the “saw kerf” (gap in the wood being cut) closes in on the bar and pinches the saw chain.
Operator's Manual
CS3814B, CS4116B Chainsaws
Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fast reverse action, kicking the guide bar up and back toward the operator.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar and the saw unit backward toward the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause the operator to lose control of the chainsaw, which could result in serious personal injury or death.
Do not rely exclusively on the safety devises built into your saw. As a chainsaw user, it is your responsibility to understand the inher­ent dangers of chainsaw use and the precau­tions necessary to minimize those dangers.
Precautions to Avoid Kickback:
Always grip the chainsaw rmly with both hands; the right hand on the rear handle, and the left hand on the forward grip.
Make certain the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the guide bar nose come into contact with a log, branch, rock or other objects while cutting. Such contact could result in a kickback.
Always make cuts at high engine speeds.
Do not over-reach or cut above shoulder height.
Always maintain a sharp and clean saw chain. Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance instruc­tions for the saw chain.
Only use replacement bars and chains specied by the manufacturer or an appropriate equivalent.
Sawing
This saw is provided for the sole intended purpose of cutting wood. Do not cut other materials with this saw.
Do not attach other tools or accessories to the output shaft of the power unit. Doing so will void the manu­facturer’s warranty.
Do not apply excessive pressure to force the saw through the cut. Run the engine at full throttle and apply only light pressure.
Always maintain a rm footing.
Never cut from a stepladder or while in a tree.

Page 6
Operator's Manual
CS3814B, CS4116B Chainsaws
Never use the guide bar as a means to lift, pry, move or split objects.
Never mount the chainsaw on a xed stand.
If the guide bar and saw chain become pinched in a cut, do not race the engine or pull the saw out of the cut by force. Use a wedge or lever to open the cut and pull the saw free.
Felling a Tree
Felling refers to the process of cutting down a standing tree. Numerous factors must be taken into consideration when felling a tree. First consider the environmental factors which will determine the fell­ing direction:
Wind is a major determining factor of felling direction.
Location and number of heavy branches and the lean of the tree.
Ease of bucking and clean-up after felling
Nearby standing timber in which the felled tree could hang up.
Location of power, telephone and data utilities, build­ings, roads, bodies of water, property lines, etc.
Wood structure and condition (i.e. rotten heartwood or core).
Keep all bystanders at least 2-1/2 tree lengths away from the base of the tree to be cut. This area is con­sidered a danger zone and must be avoided before and during the felling operation.
Retreat Path
Plan two (2) retreat paths away from the felling direction of the tree. Do not retreat in the opposite direction from the falling tree. Instead, retreat at a 45-degree angle to either side.
Clear the retreat paths of all obstacles.
Place all excess tools and equipment a safe distance from the tree, but not in the retreat paths.
Felling Notch The felling notch (1) is the rst cut when felling a tree. SEE FIGURE
2. The notch will act as a hinge and will direct the tree to fall in
the desired direction.
1. Begin the felling notch (1) by lining up the guide bar perpendicular to the desired felling direction.
2. Make a downward cut at 45-degress to a depth of about 1/5 to 1/4 of the overall diameter of the tree.
3. Finish the notch by making a horizontal cut perpendicular to the desired felling direction.
4. Remove the resultant piece.
Felling Cut
Alert others in the area of imminent danger of the falling tree.
Double check that no one has entered the area in the felling direction. SEE FIGURE 2.
1. Begin the felling cut (2) by making a horizontal cut perpendicular to the intended felling direction and approximately 1-2 inches above the bottom of the felling notch.
2. Leave approximately 1/10 of the tree’s diameter uncut. This will form the hinge.
3. Drive plastic or wooden wedges into the felling cut to control the fall.
4. As the tree begins to fall, alert others and immediately evacuate the area around the tree.
Limbing a Felled Tree
“Limbing” refers to removing the limbs from a fallen tree. There is an extremely high danger of kickback during the limbing operation. Do not work with the nose of the guide bar, as this could cause a kickback. Use extreme caution and avoid contact between the nose of the bar and the log or other limbs. Do not stand on the log while limbing it as the log may roll as limbs are removed and the center of gravity shifts.
Start limbing by removing limbs from the top side of the log, leaving limbs on the bottom to support the log up o the ground. Limbs under tension may pinch the guide bar and saw chain. Shut o the engine and lift the limb to remove the bar safely.
Bucking a Log
“Bucking” is the cross-cut operation of cutting a log into usable sections. Do not stand on the log while bucking as it may roll. When bucking on a slope, stand uphill of the log in case it begins to roll unexpectedly. Cut only one log at a time.
When bucking small logs, place them in a “V” shaped bucking horse to keep them at a working level. Never allow a bystander to hold the log. Never hold the log with your leg or foot.

WARNING
BE CAREFUL WHEN CUTTING TREES WITH ROTTEN HEARTWOOD THE CORE OF THE TREE. THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK THAT THE TREE COULD SNAP OR SPLIT UNEXPECTEDLY DURING THE CUT. CHECK FOR DEAD OR ROTTEN LIMBS BEFORE BEGINNING THE CUT. DEAD LIMBS CAN VIBRATE LOOSE FROM THE TREE AND FALL, STRIKING THE OPERATOR.
CAUTION
LOGS AND LIMBS UNDER TENSION CAN SPRING BACK WHEN CUT LOOSE. THIS LIGHTNING FAST ACTION COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CHAINSAW. ONLY TRAINED AND EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS SHOULD FELL TREES NEAR OVERHEAD LINES AND BUILDINGS. A SLIGHT MISJUDGMENT OF WIND DIRECTION OR NATURAL LEAN OF A TREE COULD RESULT IN MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE. DO NOT CUT THROUGH THE HINGE. CUTTING THROUGH THE HINGE INCREASES THE RISK OF
LOSING CONTROL OF THE FELLING DIRECTION.
To buck a log on at ground, make perpendicular cuts through about half of the diameter of the log. Roll the log and nish the cuts from the other side.
To buck a pillowed or supported log, always make a relieving cut through about 1/3 the diameter of the log from the compressed side. Finish with a bucking cut from the tension side of the log.
TIP: When cutting rewood, make sure you know the
optimum length of the nished rewood ahead of time. Use the guide bar as an approximate length gauge.
Pruning
Pruning is removing limbs from a standing tree, often for purposes of maintaining a tree’s health or aesthetics. Always work with a rm footing. Never cut from a stepladder. Do not over reach. Do not cut above shoulder height.
1. Begin pruning by making a relief cut about 3 inches away from the trunk of the tree to a depth of about 1/3 the diameter of the branch.
2. Complete the cut from above, just inside of the initial relief cut.
3. Finish pruning by making a smooth even cut nearly ush to the trunk. It is recommended to only prune trees while they are dormant in the fall and winter to reduce the risk posed by disease or insects.
WARNING
ENGINES GIVE OFF CARBON MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS, COLORLESS, POISONOUS GAS. CARBON MONOXIDE MAY BE PRESENT EVEN IF YOU DO NOT SMELL OR SEE ANY ENGINE EXHAUST. BREATHING CARBON MONOXIDE CAN CAUSE NAUSEA, FAINTING OR DEATH, IN ADDITION TO DROWSINESS, DIZZINESS AND CONFUSION. IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS, SEEK FRESH AIR AND MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. ENGINE FUEL CAN BE FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.

SAFETY FEATURES
This saw is equipped with certain safety features and devices to protect the user from harm in the event the saw reacts unexpectedly to external forces:
1. Chain Brake: The saw is equipped with a chain brake designed to stop the chain instantaneously upon activation. The chain brake can be activated in one of two ways:
The forward hand guard doubles as an activation lever for the hand brake. It can be activated manually, or it may be activated by the user’s arm if a kickback occurs.
The saw is also equipped with an “Inertial Chain Break.” The same mechanism as above is activated by the inertial force created when a counterweight under the forward hand guard accelerates toward the bar nose during a kickback.
Proper cleaning and care of the chain brake system are required to ensure reliable operation in the eld. You should also check your chain brake for proper operation regularly. To check your chain brake:
Manually activate the chain brake by pushing the forward hand guard toward the bar nose (SEE FIGURE 3-A). There will be an audible click when the chain brake engages. If there is no audible click, the chain brake may already be engaged. Pull back on the forward hand guard to deactivate the brake (SEE FIGURE 3-B). An audible click should be heard when the brake disengages. If there is still no audible click, the brake is not functioning properly. Remove the clutch cover, clean and reassemble, and re-test. If no audible click is heard, contact customer service for further assistance.
With the saw’s engine shut o and the chain brake disengaged, rmly grasp both handles and hold the saw over a log or low stump. Swing the bar nose sharply down until it makes contact. This should create enough inertial force to automatically activate the chain brake. When the chain brake engages, an audible click should be heard. If no audible click is heard, the brake is not functioning properly. Remove the clutch cover, clean and reassemble, and re-test. If no audible click is heard, contact customer service for further assistance.
2. Throttle Interlock: This saw is equipped with a throttle interlock designed to prevent accidental engagement of the throttle control. The throttle interlock is disengaged by depressing the red tab on top of the rear handle. This is usually accomplished when the user grasps the rear handle to operate the saw.
3. Chain Catcher: Each saw is equipped with a chain catcher beneath the clutch cover. If the chain is ever thrown from the guide bar, or if the chain breaks, the chain catcher is designed to capture the chain and prevent it from whipping back toward the operator.
NOTE: Inspect the chain catcher before each use. Replace
if missing or badly damaged.
4. Kickback Reduction Guide Bar and Saw Chain: This saw has been equipped with a Double Guard® 91 guide
bar and 91P S-Series Low Kickback saw chain by Oregon®.
The features of this bar and chain combination are design to reduce the risk of kickback. To maintain adequate kickback prevention, only use these components when replacing guide bar or saw chain. (Refer to the Maintenance section of this manual for full details.)
A - chain break ON
B - chain break OFF
NOTE: Chain break must be in the OFF position to run the
chainsaw.

ASSEMBLY
The Earthquake chainsaw carton includes the following
Power Unit: Pre-assembled engine, handles, fuel tank, oil tank, and chain brake handle.
Guide Bar: Oregon® Double Guard 18”.
Saw Chain: Oregon® 91VG or 91P S62
“Scwrench” Multi-tool: Combination plug/bar wrench and screwdriver
Bar Scabbard: Plastic guard that ts over the guide bar and saw chain.
5/32 inch round chain le
Bar and chain have been installed for your convenience.
Bar and Chain Removal and Assembly
1. Place the power unit on a at, stable work surface with the muer facing to your right.
2. Pull back (toward the forward handle) on the chain brake lever to ensure that the chain brake is disengaged.
3. Using the “Scwrench” multi-tool, loosen and remove the bar nuts securing the clutch cover to the power unit. Set the clutch cover aside. Tip: If working in the eld, place the bar nuts in the clutch cover to keep from losing them in grass or foliage.
4. Install the guide bar on the bar studs, and slide the bar back until it comes into contact with the drive sprocket.
5. Protective gloves should be used when handling the chain. Carefully remove the saw chain from its package. Stretch the chain out into a long horizontal loop. The
cutting teeth on the top length of chain should face away from the power unit. The cutting teeth on the
bottom length of the chain should face toward the power unit.
6. Wrap the chain around the drive sprocket rst, and lay the drive links of the chain into the groove along the outer perimeter of the guide bar. Lay the chain over the nose (tip) of the guide bar.
7. Slide the bar forward until the bar mates with the tensioning tab. Make sure that the drive links of the chain are seated within the groove around the perimeter of the bar. If the bar will not slide forward far enough, use the screwdriver end of the Scwrench to turn the tension screw counter-clockwise. The tension screw is located on the front of the power unit, next to the guide bar.

CS3814B, CS4116B Chainsaws
WARNING
FAILURE TO PROPERLY TENSION THE CHAIN COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE UNIT OR SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. OVER TENSIONING COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SAW’S POWER UNIT OR GUIDE BAR. LACK OF TENSION COULD CAUSE THE CHAIN TO DISENGAGE THE BAR COMPLETELY, ALLOWING IT TO WHIP BACK WHERE IT COULD CONTACT THE OPERATOR CAUSING SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
NOTE: Make sure the chain brake is OFF.
8. Replace the clutch cover over the bar, and turn the bar nuts onto the bar studs. Only nger tighten the bar nuts at this step.
9. Locate the tension screw on the front of the power unit next to the guide bar. Use the Scwrench to turn the tension screw clockwise. This will take the slack out of the saw chain. When properly tensioned, two conditions must be met:
The chain should not hang or droop away from the guide bar.
You should be able to pull the chain slightly away from the guide bar, but not so far as to be able to disengage the drive links from the groove around the perimeter of the bar.
10. Pull up on the guide bar’s nose and use the Scwrench to tighten the bar nuts. Check that the chain spins freely around the bar by hand. If there is resistance, the chain may be too tight.
11. Place the bar scabbard over the guide bar and saw chain. This guard will help to protect the user from the sharp cutting teeth as well as help keep the cutting teeth sharp when the saw is not in use.
12. Check the tension of the saw chain frequently during use, especially during the rst two hours of use on a new chain. Re-tension as needed.
13. Always release the tension in the chain after nishing work and before the saw chain and guide bar cool completely. As the saw chain heats up during operation, it will expand and stretch, requiring re-tensioning on occasion. As the saw cools down the saw chain will shrink, and if left tensioned, could cause severe and permanent damage to the guide bar or the power unit’s drive components.

OPERATION
Filling Fuel Tank
1. Shut o engine and allow engine to completely cool before relling the fuel tank.
2. Move to a well-ventilated area, outdoors, away from ames 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 specications, is recommended.
6. Do not ll gas tank completely full; allow space for fuel to expand.
7. Immediately replace fuel cap and tighten. Wipe o 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 specically 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 mo­tion.
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 ow of oil during opera­tion. Always top o your oil reservoir when re-fueling.
To adjust the automatic oiler you must rst 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 ow.
NOTE: It is recommended for the use of your chainsaw to
leave the automatic oiler on full ow.
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 ll oil reservoir completely full; allow space for oil to expand.
5. Replace cap and tighten. Wipe o any spilled oil before starting engine.
NOTE: Do not use waste or recycled oil. Waste or recycled
oil could contain contaminants which will cause damage to the oil pump.
WARNING
CHAIN BRAKE WILL NOT PREVENT A KICKBACK. IN THE EVENT OF A KICKBACK, THE CHAIN BRAKE IS DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OPERATOR.
DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE THROTTLE INTERLOCK IN ANY WAY. DOING SO WILL ALLOW ACCIDENTAL ENGAGEMENT OF THE THROTTLE WHICH WILL RESULT AN UNEXPECTED OPERATION OF THE SAW CHAIN.
CHAIN CATCHER IS INTENDED TO PREVENT INJURY IN THE EVENT OF A CHAIN MALFUNCTION. NEVER OPERATE A SAW WITHOUT A CHAIN CATCHER. REPLACE IF MISSING OR BADLY DAMAGED.

WARNING
DO NOT RUN A SAW THAT IS NOT PROVIDING PROPER OIL COVERAGE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. DOING SO WILL RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE GUIDE BAR AND SAW CHAIN.
4. Put the power unit’s ignition switch in the ON position.
NOTE: The ON position is when the toggle switch is up.
5. Pull the choke all the way out to the CHOKE position.
NOTE: This will close the choke and set throttle to high
idle.
6. Pull starter rope 1-4 times. DO NOT pull more than 4 times. After pull 4, push the choke in without touching throttle (this maintains the throttle in high idle). Pull starter rope an additional 1-4 times with the choke pushed all the way in. The engine should start. If engine does not start, continue with Step 5 of Cold Engine Start. Failure to follow these starting instructions may cause your engine to ood.
NOTE: Proper starting form begins with grasping the
starter handle rmly with right hand and slowly pull until it provides resistance. Without letting the starter handle retract, pull rope with a rapid full arm stroke. Let it return to its original position very slowly until unit res or starts. Repeat this technique ever time the starter rope is pulled.
7. After engine starts running, depress throttle interlock with right palm and pull throttle control with right index nger.
NOTE: This will automatically reset the choke to the RUN
position and disengage high idle and go to normal idle.
8. Release the chain brake. To set the chain brake to the OFF position, push the front hand guard towards the front handle.
Warm engine Start Procedure:
1. Put ignition switch in the ON position.
2. Pull the choke all the way out.

BAR AND CHAIN OIL
The saw is equipped with an adjustable chain oiler. The oil pump, driven by the drive sprocket, will only pump oil when the engine is running at high enough speeds to engage the clutch and rotate the chain. Furthermore, the ow of oil is adjustable to accommodate variations in chain oil due to temperature.
To adjust the oil pump, insert a screwdriver in the small notch beneath the clutch and drive sprocket. To increase the ow of oil, turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To decrease the ow of oil, turn the screwdriver clockwise. For optimum per­formance, use a higher rate of ow with thicker oil or in colder temperatures, and a lower rate of ow with thinner oil or in
warmer temperatures.
The guide bar and saw chain need to be well lubricated dur­ing operation to prevent permanent damage from friction and heat. Be sure to check the oil supply to the bar and chain before use.
1. After starting the engine, hold the saw up with the chain suspended in front of or above a test surface.
2. Run the engine at about half throttle.
3. Oil should be ung o of the rotating chain onto the test surface.
If the saw chain seems dry, but there is some oil present on the bar or test surface, the oil pump may be set too low. Increase the setting by turning the adjustment screw, located on the under-side of the saw, counter-clockwise (SEE FIGURE 4). If the saw chain and guide bar are dry and there is no oil on the test surface, the oiler port and guide bar may need cleaning. Remove the clutch cover, bar, and chain, and clean under the clutch cover with a brush and clean the guide bar with a wire or small screwdriver.
Reassemble and retest for oil presence. If no oil is present after adjusting the oiler setting and cleaning the oiler port, the oil pump may not be functioning. Discontinue use of the unit and contact your local authorized service center or customer service for assistance.
In compliance with EPA regulations, any adjustments to the carburetor must be made by an authorized service center. An authorized service center is capable of troubleshooting carbu­retor problems, adjusting carburetors to perform correctly, and adjusting carburetors to compensate for altitude.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Cooling Fins
1. Cooling ns, air inlets, and linkages must be free from any debris before each use.
Air Filter
1. Never run engine without air cleaner properly installed. Added wear and engine failure may occur if air cleaner is not installed on engine.
2. Service air cleaner every 3 months or after 20 hours of operation. Clean lter daily in extremely dusty conditions.
Steps for Cleaning Air Filter
1. Remove the air cleaner cover by turning the thumb screw on top of the power unit counter-clockwise and lifting the cover o.
2. To remove the lter, lift the lter element o of the threaded stud.
3. Larger surface dust and dirt particles can be removed from the lter element by lightly tapping a corner of the lter against a hard surface.
4. To clean ner dust trapped in the mesh screens, split the lter by inserting a at screwdriver between the dogs on one corner of the lter element and twisting.
5. Using an air compressor at a low pressure or a store-bought compressed air duster, blow air through the mesh from the inside.
6. Press the two lter halves back together by squeezing around the rim. Do not place pressure on the mesh or a puncture could occur.
7. Place the lter back over the threaded rod, making sure to seat the lter on the O-ring on the carburetor.
8. Place the air cleaner cover back on the saw body and turn the thumb screw clockwise until nger tight.
NOTE: Carburetor is set at factory. Further adjustment
must be performed by an authorized service center. Contact customer service for a list of authorized service centers.

Spark Plug
The recommended spark plug is a NGK BPMR7A, Champion RCJ7Y, or Torch L8RFT.
Steps for Removing the Spark Plug
1. Remove the air cleaner cover by turning the thumb screw on top of the power unit counter-clockwise and lifting the cover o.
2. Disconnect the spark plug cap and clean any debris from around the spark plug area.
3. Remove spark plug using the “Scwrench” multi-tool. Replace if any of the following occur; pitted electrodes, burned electrodes, cracked porcelain, or deposits around the electrodes.
4. After analysis, seat spark plug and hand turn until nger tight.
Installing Spark Plug
1. Reinstall original spark plug, tighten additional 1/2 turn.
2. Installing new spark plug, adjust spark plug gap to 0.025” (0,635mm) and tighten additional 1/8 – 1/4 turn.
NOTE: Loose spark plug may overheat and damage
engine. Over tightened spark plug may damage threads in the cylinder head.
Carburetor
NOTE: Never tamper with the factory setting of the
carburetor.
Saw Chain Tension Maintenance
Keeping the saw chain at the proper tension is necessary for safe operation and will help prolong the life of the saw chain and the guide bar. Never tighten a warm/hot chain.
1. Shut the power unit o and allow the saw to cool.
2. The saw chain should not hang down from the bottom edge of the guide bar.
3. Wearing protective gloves, hold the guide bar with one hand and pinch the chain with the free hand.
4. Pull down on the chain. It should pull away from the bar, but the drive links should not disengage the groove around the perimeter of the guide bar.
5. Add or remove tension as needed with the adjustment screw at side of bar.
6. Hold up on the guide bar nose and tighten the bar nuts with the Scwrench.
Add tension at the beginning of every work session.
Check tension at every re-fueling.
Remove tension at the end of every work session.
Saw Chain Maintenance
Keeping the saw chain sharp is a critical component to operat­ing a chainsaw. A dull saw chain will drastically reduce cutting eciency and can pose certain safety hazards.
Avoid unintentionally striking foreign objects. This can cause a kickback, but will also reduce the sharp­ness or permanently damage the saw chain.
Avoid cutting wood that has been drug on the ground. Sand, dirt, and mud stuck to the log will dull the saw chain.
Avoid cutting wood that may contain metal such as nails, staples, or wire.
Avoid cutting all the way through when bucking a log. This could allow the chain to come into contact with the soil below, dulling the saw chain.
Sharpening Saw Chain Cutters (Teeth)
The saw chain included with this saw is a 91VG Chamfer Chisel™ or 91P Chamfer Chisel™ and requires a 5/32 inch round le (included in the original packaging).
When to have your saw chain sharpened:
Sawdust becomes powder-like
You need to force the saw into the cut
The saw tends to cut through at an angle instead of making a straight cut
Vibration increases
Fuel consumption increases
Always inspect your saw chain prior to use and sharpening. Check for the following:
Bent or burred drive links
Broken cutters or tie-straps
Loose rivets or broken rivet heads
Dull, nicked, or damaged cutters.
If broken components are found, discard the chain immedi­ately.
To properly sharpen you saw chain:
1. Be sure to have the correct size le and le guide.
2. When hand ling it’s important that 1/5, or 20 percent, of the le’s diameter is always held above the cutter’s top plate.
3. Keep the correct top-plate ling angle line on your le guide parallel with the chain.
4. Sharpen all cutters on one side of the chain rst. Sharpen by ling from the inside of each cutter to the outside. After sharpening the rst side, turn the saw around and repeat the process for cutters on the other side of the chain.

Operator's Manual
CS3814B, CS4116B Chainsaws
5. If the chrome surface of the top or side plates is damaged, le back until such damage is removed.
6. Keep all cutters at an equal length. Begin ling on the cutter with the most damage, and le all subsequent cutters to the same length.
7. DO NOT alter or le the tops of bumper tie strap links (between each cutter) on the 91VG chain.
8. File ONLY on the “Push” stroke, do not pull the le against any metal object as this will damage the le.
It is also important to maintain the depth gauge setting throughout the lifespan of the saw chain. 91VG and 91P chains use a depth setting of 0.025”. This setting should be checked and corrected every third or fourth time the saw chain is sharpened.
1. Place the correct depth-gauge tool over the chain, with one depth gauge protruding through the slot in the tool.
2. If the depth gauge extends above the slot, use a at le to bring the depth gauge ush with the top of the tool. Use only the push stroke of the le. Pulling the le will damage the le.
3. Make sure to round over the leading edge of the depth gauge to prevent kickbacks and tie strap breakage.

FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), together with Ardisam, Inc. (Ardisam), are pleased to explain the Emission Control System Warranty on your small o-road engine (SORE). New small o-road engines must be designed, built and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards the federal government. Ardisam will warrant the emission control system on your engine for the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, modi­cation or improper maintenance of your engine.
The emission control system includes all components whose failure would increase the emissions of any regulated pollutant. These components are listed in the emission-related parts list located in a subsequent section of this emissions warranty statement. Ardisam will repair your engine at no cost to you for diagnosis, replacement parts and labor, should a warrantable condition occur.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:
The emission control system is warranted for two years. If, during such warranty period, any emission-related part on your engine is found to be defective in materials or workmanship, repairs or replacement will be performed by a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
PURCHASER’S/OWNER’S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As the SORE purchaser/owner, you are responsible for the comple­tion of all required maintenance as listed in your factory supplied Manual(s). For warranty purposes, Ardisam recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on your SORE. However, Ardisam cannot deny warranty solely because of the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the completion of all scheduled mainte­nance.
As the SORE purchaser/owner, you should, however, be aware that Ardisam may deny any and/or all warranty coverage or responsibility if your SORE or a part/component thereof, has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or modications, or the use of coun­terfeit and/or “grey market” parts not made, supplied or approved by Ardisam.
You are responsible for presenting your SORE to an Ardisam Autho­rized Warranty Service Facility as soon as a problem occurs. The war­ranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
Warranty service can be arranged by contacting either your selling dealer or a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility. To locate the Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility nearest you, call our free number:
800-345-6007
IMPORTANT NOTE: This warranty statement explains your rights and
obligations under the Emission Control System Warranty (ECS War-
ranty), which is provided to you by Ardisam pursuant to federal law. See also the Ardisam “Product Warranty” (non-emission warranties), which is enclosed herewith on a separate sheet or located in addi­tional materials accompanying this product. The ECS Warranty applies only to the emission control system of your new engine. If there is any conict in terms between the ECS Warranty and the Ardisam Warranty, the ECS Warranty shall apply except in circumstances where the Ardisam Warranty may provide a longer warranty period. Both the ECS Warranty and the Ardisam Warranty describe important rights and obligations with respect to your new engine.
Warranty service can be performed only by an Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility. When requesting warranty service, evi­dence must be presented showing the date of the sale to the original purchaser/owner. Ardisam will not be responsible for any and/or all damages or losses incurred while the engine is being transported/ shipped for inspection or warranty repairs.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, YOU SHOULD CONTACT ARDISAM AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS:
II. EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY
Emission Control System Warranty (ECS Warranty) for equipment us­ing small o-road engines:
(a) Applicability: This warranty shall apply to equipment that uses small o-road engines. The ECS Warranty Period shall begin on the date the new engine or equipment is purchased by/delivered to its original, end-use purchaser/owner and shall continue for 24 consecu­tive months thereafter.
(b) General Emissions Warranty Coverage: Ardisam warrants to the original, end-use purchaser/owner of the new engine or equipment and to each subsequent purchaser/owner that each of its engines is...
(1) Designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all appli­cable regulations adopted by the EPA pursuant to their respective authority, and
(2) Free from defects in materials and workmanship which, at any time during the ECS Warranty Period, may cause a warranted emissions-related part to fail to be identical in all material respects to the part as described in the engine manufacturer’s application for certication.
The ECS Warranty only pertains to emissions-related parts on your engine, as follows:
(1) Any warranted, emissions-related parts that are not scheduled for replacement as required maintenance in the Maintenance Schedule (located in the section of the Manual(s) pertaining to maintenance) shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. If any such part fails during the ECS Warranty Period, it shall be repaired or replaced by Ardisam according to Subsection (4) below. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be

warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period.
(2) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled only for regular inspection as specied in the Maintenance Schedule (located in the section of the Manual(s) pertaining to maintenance) shall be warranted for the ECS Warranty Period. A statement in such written instructions to the eect of “repair or replace as necessary” shall not reduce the ECS Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remain­der of the ECS Warranty Period.
(3) Any warranted, emissions-related part that is scheduled for re­placement as required maintenance in the Maintenance Schedule (located in the section of the Manual(s) pertaining to maintenance) shall be warranted for the period of time prior to the rst scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails prior to the rst scheduled replacement, the part shall be repaired or replaced by Ardisam according to Subsection (4) below. Any such emissions­related part repaired or replaced under the ECS Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty Period prior to the rst scheduled replacement point for such emissions-related part.
(4) Repair or replacement of any warranted, emissions-related part under this ECS Warranty shall be performed at no charge to the owner at a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility.
(5) When the engine is inspected by a Ardisam Authorized Warranty Service Facility, the owner shall not be held responsible for diag­nostic costs if the repair is deemed warrantable.
(6) Ardisam shall be liable for damages to other original engine components or approved modications proximately caused by a failure under warranty of any emission-related part covered by the ECS Warranty.
(7) Throughout the ECS Warranty Period, Ardisam shall maintain a supply of warranted emission-related parts sucient to meet the expected demand for such emission-related parts.
(8) Any Ardisam authorized and approved emission-related replacement part may be used in the performance of any ECS War­ranty maintenance or repairs and will be provided without charge to the purchaser/owner. Such use shall not reduce Ardisam’s ECS Warranty obligations.
(9) Unapproved, add-on, modied, counterfeit and/or “grey market” parts may not be used to modify or repair a Ardisam engine. Such use voids this ECS Warranty and shall be sucient grounds for disallowing an ECS Warranty claim. Ardisam shall not be held liable hereunder for failures of any warranted parts of a Ardisam engine caused by the use of such an unapproved, add-on, modied, coun­terfeit and/or “grey market” part.
