RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improp-
• erly adjusted, or not completely and securely assem­bled. Be sure that the saw’s chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released.
• Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw down.
• Use extreme caution when cutting small-sized brush and saplings because slender material may catch the chain saw and whip towards you or pull you off bal­ance.
• When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for springback so that you will not be struck when the ten­sion in the wood fibers is released
• Do not cut through nails, rods in the tree, railroad ties or pallets. Inspect a tree that you are going to cut for foreign objects that could cause injury or damage to your chain saw.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine and thoroughly inspect for damage. Repair as necessary.
• Keep the handles dry, clean and free of the oil/fuel mixture
• We do not recommend using the chain saw in a tree or on a ladder.
• All chain saw service, other that the items listed in this instruction manual maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent chain saw service person­nel.
• Use the right tool. Only use this chain saw for its intended purpose, to cut wood.
• Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and bal­ance.
Always hold the unit with both hands when operating.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back toward the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw, which could result in serious personal injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
• With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents. Be alert to the potential for kickback at all times.
• Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Don’t let go.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, fence, or any other obstruction that could be hit while you are operating the saw.
• Always cut with the engine running at full speed. Fully squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a steady cut­ting speed.

OIL AND FUEL INFORMATION
OIL AND FUEL MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Old and/or improperly mixed fuel are the main reasons for the unit not running properly. Be sure to use fresh, clean unleaded fuel. Follow the instructions carefully for the proper fuel/oil mixture
Definition of Blended Fuels
Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxy­genates such as ethanol, methanol, or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1% water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate. It forms acids when stored. When using alcohol-blended fuel, use fresh fuel (less than 60 days old).
Using Blended Fuels
If you choose to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:
Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your opera-
• tor's manual
• Always agitate the fuel mix before fueling the unit
• Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the unit
.
Thoroughly mix the proper r with unleaded gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel tank. mixing ratios.

Using Fuel Additives
The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with your unit con­tains a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is recom­mended that you use our 2-cycle oil with this unit.
If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil designed for air-cooled engines along with a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL (23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel addi­tives directly to the unit's fuel tank.

4).
5. Pull out the choke (D) to the point where it latches in place. (Fig. 5)
6. Push the primer bulb (E) 10 times. (Fig. 6)
7. Latch throttle advance: depress latch and hold (F) squeeze throttle trigger (G) release trigger and then the latch. (Fig. 7)
8. Place saw on a firm flat surface. Hold saw firmly as shown. (Fig. 8)
NOTE: MTD1635 uses easy start, which significantly reduces the effort required to start the engine. You must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there is no harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is vastly different from (and much easier than) what you may be used to.
NOTE: MTD1435 has normal starting system, if the engine sounds as if it wants to start before the 4th pull, end the pulling of the starter and proceed as described in the next step.

WARNING:
chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
NOTE: Direction of fall (B) is controlled by the notching
cut. Before any cuts are made, consider the location of larger branches and natural lean of the tree to determine the way the tree will fall.

Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave a hinge. The hinge guides the tree. If the trunk is com­pletely cut through, control over the felling direction is lost.
WARNING:
recheck the area for bystanders, animals or obstacles.
Insert a wedge or felling lever in the cut well before the tree becomes unstable and starts to move. This will pre­vent the guidebar from binding in the felling cut if you have misjudged the falling direction. Make sure no bystanders have entered the range of the falling tree before you push it over.

LIMBING
Limbing a tree is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree. Do not remove supporting limbs (A) until after the log is bucked (cut) into lengths (Fig. 18). Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.

BUCKING
Bucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths. Make sure you have a good footing and stand uphill of the log when cutting on sloping ground. If possible, the log should be supported so that the end to be cut off is not resting on the ground. If the log is supported at both ends and you must cut in the middle, make a downward cut halfway through the log and then make the undercut. This will prevent the log from pinching the bar and chain. Be careful that the chain does not cut into the ground when bucking as this causes rapid dulling of the chain.
When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side.

Storing a chain saw for longer than 30 days requires storage maintenance. Unless the storage instructions are followed, fuel remaining in the carburetor will evapo­rate, leaving gum-like deposits. This could lead to diffi­cult starting and result in costly repairs.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release any pressure in tank. Carefully drain the fuel tank.
2. Start the engine and let it run until the unit stops to remove fuel from carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4. Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark plug.
5. Pour 1 teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the com­bustion chamber. Pull starter rope slowly several times to coat internal components. Replace spark plug (Fig. 40).
NOTE: Store the unit in a dry place and away from pos-
sible sources of ignition such as a furnace, gas hot water heater, gas dryer, etc.

CAUTION:
been pre-lubricated at the factory. Failure to lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip as explained below will result in poor perform­ance and seizure, voiding the manufacturer’s warranty.
Lubrication of the sprocket tip is recommend­ed after 10 hours of use or once a week, which ever occurs first. Always thoroughly clean guide bar sprocket tip before lubrication.
The Lube Gun (optional) is recommended for applying grease to the guide bar sprocket tip. The Lube Gun is equipped with a needle nose tip which is necessary for the efficient application of grease to the sprocket tip.
To lubricate the sprocket tip:
1. Move the STOP switch down to stop.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the saw chain to
lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip. Lubrication can be done on the job.
2. Clean the guide bar sprocket tip.
3. Using the Lube Gun (optional), insert tip of lube gun
into the lubrication hole and inject grease until it appears at outside edge of sprocket tip (Fig. 41).

GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE:
Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by keeping the chain saw well maintained.
Insufficient guide bar lubrication and operating the saw with chain that is too tight will contribute to rapid bar wear.
To help minimize bar wear, the following guide bar main­tenance procedures are recommended.
BAR WEAR - Turn guide bar frequently at regular inter­vals (for example, after 5 hours of use), to insure even wear on top and bottom of bar.
