FUELING THE SAW
The engine is lubricated
by
oil mixed with gasoline. The right
amount
of oil in the mixture is very important.
CAUTION: ALWAYS SHUT ENGINE OFF BEFORE FILL·
ING TANK.
1.
GASOLINE:
Use "regular", clean, fresh gasoline. (Premium grade
gasoline is not necessary).
Use properly identified container marked - "GASO· LINE".
Do not use winter blend gasoline in summertime or vice versa.
Do not use fuel which was stored longer than 2 months,
because starting the saw may be difficult. (Remove
old fuel mixture and dispose of it safelv l. Do not use lead-free gasoline.
2.
OIL:
For best performance and longest service life, use
SKIL
Chair. Saw Oil.
If
SKIL
Chain Saw Oil is not available, use other good
blend 2-CYCLE01L - SAE-30-MS. Do not use multi-grade oil (10W-30), or any oilsformu-
lated for 4-cycle engines.
3.
FUEL MIX
(16:
1!
Fuel mix
proportions
are: 16 parts of gasoline to 1 part
of oil. Use fOlio-wing chart:

Select container 'with a flexible spout tor easy pouring. Mark the container - "CHAIN SAW FUEL MIX".
ALWAYS MIX IN 16: 1 proportions, regardless of what
is indicated on the oil container.
<:
ALWAYS prepare the mixture in a separate conta iner and mix THOROUGHLY (shake well) before pouring
Into fuel tank. (Never mix in fuel tank}. Do not let dirt get into the gas tank while pouring. Wipe the saw with a rag to remove spilled fuel.
STARTING
THE SAW
1. READ THE SAFETY RULES BEFORE ANY ATIEf TO. START THE SAW.
2.
CHECI( CHAIN TEI\!SION.
3.
HOLD THE SAW BY THE REAR HANDLE FIRMLY IN
YOUR RIGHT HAND.
4.
SLIDE IGI\!ITION SWITCH TO THE "ON" P9SITI01\J.
5.
PULL CHOKE ALL THE WAY OUT. (It is not necessary to choke a warm engine.!
6. POINT BAR AND CHAIN. AWAY FROIVI YOURSELF AND ALL OTHER OBJECTS.
7.
SQUEEZE THROTTLE.
8.
GRASP STARTER HANDLE FIRMLY IN LEFT HAND, AND SLOWLY PULL OUT UNTIL RESISTANCE IS FELT.
9.
PULL THE STARTER HANDLE FIRM AND FAST, AND
AT THE SAME TIME PUSH THE SAW AWAY FROM YOU
WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND. REPE~T UNTIL THE EN-
GIN E FIR ES. Do not pull ropeto it's end,to dosomaybreakrope.
10. WHEN THE ENGINE FIRES,PUSH THE CHOKE IN AND RELEASE THE THROTTLE HALF WAY. (Cold engine may require several pulls to
start.)
11. TO STOP ENGINE, PUSH IGNITION SWITCH TO "OFF".
Follow the aboveprocedureonly. If your sawdoesnot start10to
15
pulls on the rope,your sawis in needof maintenance. ---.; Is the air filter clean? Is the spark plug clean and properly gapped? Is the carburetor adjusted?If not. perform steps1and2of
ADJUSTING CARBURETOR.
STARTING GRIP
IGNITION
SWITCH
The carburetor idle speed adjusting screw controls the idling speed of the saw and should be set after the engine is warm. A proper setting allows the engine to idle without the c+ moving around the bar. It may be necessary to slightly v.. the high and low speed adjustment for peak performance (see
Carburetor
Adjustments)
DO NOT RUN SAW AT HIGH RPM
WHEN NOT CUTTING WOOD.
