Read all these instructions before operating this product and save these instructions.
1. DO NOT operate a chain saw with one hand! Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders, or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation. A chain saw is intended for two-handed use.
2. Do NOT use the saw if you are tired, ill or under
the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
3. Use safety footwear, snug-fitting clothing, protective gloves, and eye, hearing and head protection devices.
4. Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain saw at least 10 feet (3m) from the fueling point before starting the engine.
5. DO NOT allow other persons to be near when starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area.
6. DO NOT start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.
7. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running.
8. Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain is not contacting anything.
9. Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the exhaust away from your body.
10. NEVER use a chainsaw which is damaged,
incorrectly set or incompletely and loosely assembled. Make sure that the chainsaw stops when the chain brake is applied.
11. Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw down.
12. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
13. 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.
14. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
15. Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas.
16. DO NOT operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have been specifically trained to do so.
17. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the user manual safety and maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent chain saw service personnel.
18. When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.
19. DO NOT operate your chain saw near or around flammable liquids or gases whether in or out of
doors. An explosion and/or fire may result.
20. Do not tank fuel, oil or lubrication when the engine of chain saw is running.
21. USE THE RIGHT TOOL: Cut wood only. Do not use the chain saw for purposes for which it was not intended. For example, do not use the chain saw for cutting plastic, masonry, or non building materials.
22. The engine will create toxic exhaust fumes as soon as the engine is started. Never work in enclosed rooms or in rooms with poor ventilation.
Note: The following appendix is primarily for the end user or occasional user. The chainsaw is designed for occasional use by home owners, garden owners and campers and is for general work such as stump­grubbing, cutting firewood, etc. It is not designed for lengthy use. If it is used for a lengthy period, the vibrations it causes in the hands of the user may result in circulation problems (white finger syndrome).
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. If the bar tip contacts, it 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 towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to loose 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.
1. With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
2. 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. Donʼt let go.
3. 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, or any other obstruction which could be hit while you are operating the saw.
4. Cut at high engine speeds.
5. Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
6. Follow manufacturerʼs sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
7. Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent.

around the end of the bar (Fig. 4B).
NOTE: The saw chain may droop slightly on the lower part of bar. This is normal.
4. Pull the chain bar forward until the chain is closely seated. Make sure that all the drive links are in the groove of the bar.
5. Fit the clutch cover and fasten it with 2 screws.
Make sure that the pivot (Fig. 3C/Item E) fits into the chain bar (Fig. 3D/Item G). The chain must not slip off the bar when you do this. Tighten the two nuts by hand and then follow the instructions for adjusting the tension in ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION.
5.3 Saw chain tension adjustment
Proper tension of saw chain is extremely important and must be checked before starting, as well as during any cutting operation. Taking the time to make needed adjustments to the saw chain will result in improved cutting performance and prolonged chain life.
Warning: Always wear heavy duty gloves when
handling saw chain or making saw chain adjustments.
1. Before adjusting the chain tension screw you must slacken the 2x retaining nuts. Otherwise this will damage tension screw.
2. Hold nose of guide bar up and turn adjustment screw (D) CLOCKWISE to increase chain tension. Turning screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE will decrease amount of tension on chain. Ensure the chain fits snugly all the way around the guide bar (Fig. 5).
3. After making adjustment, and while still holding nose of bar in the uppermost position, tighten the bar retaining nuts securely. Chain has proper tension when it has a snug fit all around and can be pulled around by gloved hand.
NOTE: If chain is difficult to rotate on guide bar or if it binds, too much tension has been applied. This requires minor adjustment as follows:
A. Loosen the bar retaining nut so they are finger
tight. Decrease tension by turning the bar adjustment screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE slowly. Move chain back and forth on bar. Continue to adjust until chain rotates freely, but fits snugly. Increase tension by turning bar adjustment screw CLOCKWISE.
B. When saw chain has proper tension, hold nose of
bar in the uppermost position and tighten the bar retaining nut securely.
Caution: A new saw chain stretches, requiring
adjustment after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal with a new chain, and the interval between future adjustments will lengthen quickly.
Caution: If the saw chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO
TAUT, the drive wheel, chain bar, chain and crank shaft bearing will suffer premature wear. Fig. 6 shows the correct tension A (when cold) and tension B (when warm). Fig. C shows a chain that is too loose.
6. Before starting the machine
6.1 Chain break mechanical test
Your chain saw is equipped with a Chain brake that reduces possibility of injury due to kickback. The brake is activated if pressure is applied against brake lever when, as in the event of kickback, operator’s hand strikes the lever. When the brake is actuated, chain movement stops abruptly.
Warning: The purpose of the chain brake is to
reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback; however, it cannot provide the intended measure of protection if the saw is operated carelessly. Always test the chain brake before using your saw and periodically while on the job.
To test chain brake
1. The Chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain can move) when BRAKE LEVER IS PULLED BACK AND LOCKED (Fig. 7A).
2. The chain brake is ENGAGED (the chain is
locked) when the brake lever is pulled forward and the mechanism (Fig. 7B/Item A) can be seen. It should not be possible to move the chain (Fig. 7B).
NOTE: The brake lever should snap into both positions. If strong resistance is felt, or lever does not move into either position, do not use your saw. Take it immediately to a professional Service Center for repair.
6.2 Fuel and lubrication
Fuel
Use regular grade unleaded fuel mixed with 50:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results.
Mixing fuel
Mix fuel with 2 cycle oil in an approved container. Shake gently and ensure thorough mix.

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 (Fig. 11).
Warning: Do not cut down a tree during high or
changing winds or if there is a danger to property. Consult a tree professional. Do not cut down a tree if there is a danger of striking utility wires; notify the utility company before making any cuts.
General guidelines for felling trees (Fig. 12)
Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations, notching (C) and making the felling cut (D). Start making the upper notch cut (C) on the side of the tree facing the felling direction (E). Be sure you don t make the lower cut too deep into the trunk. The notch (C) should be deep enough to create a hinge (F) of sufficient width and strength. The notch should be wide enough to direct the fall of the tree for as long as possible.
Warning: Never walk in front of a tree that has
been notched. Make the felling cut (D) from the other side of the tree and 1.5 - 2.0 inches (3-5 cm) above the edge of the notch (C).
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. 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.
Warning: Before making the final cut, always
recheck the area for bystanders, animals or obstacles.
Felling cut
1. Use wooden or plastic wedges (A) to prevent binding the bar or chain (B) in the cut. Wedges also control felling (Fig. 13).
2. When diameter of wood being cut is greater than the bar length, make 2 cuts as shown (Fig. 14).
Warning: As the felling cut gets close to the
hinge, the tree should begin to fall. When tree begins to fall, remove saw from cut, stop engine, put chain saw down, and leave area along retreat path (Fig.
11).
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. 15). Branches under tension should be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw.
Warning: Never cut tree limbs while standing on
tree trunk.
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.
1. Log supported along entire length: Cut from top (overbuck), being careful to avoid cutting into the ground (Fig. 16A).
2. Log supported on 1 end: First, cut from bottom (underbuck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, cut from above (overbuck) to meet first cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 16B).
3. Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, underbuck to meet first cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 16C).
Note: The best way to hold a log while bucking is to use a sawhorse. When this is not possible, the log should be raised and supported by the limb stumps or by using supporting logs. Be sure the log being cut is securely supported.
Bucking using a sawhorse (Fig. 17)
For personal safety and ease of cutting, the correct position for vertical bucking is essential (Fig. 17). A. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep the
saw to the right of your body while cutting.
B. Keep the left arm as straight as possible. C. Keep weight on both feet.
Caution: When working with the saw, always
make sure that the saw chain and chain bar are sufficiently lubricated.

filter is damaged, dispose of it.
6. Insert a new filter. Place one end of the filter into the tank opening. Make sure that the filter is seated in the lower corner of the tank. If necessary, use a long screwdriver to move the filter to its correct position, taking care not to damage in the process.
7. Fill tank with fresh fuel / oil mixture. See Section Fuel and Lubrication. Install fuel cap.
9.4 Spark plug (Fig. 18B)
Warning: To ensure that the saw’s engine
retains its power, the spark plug must be clean and have the correct electrode gap (0.6 mm). The spark plug must be cleaned or replaced after every 20 hours of service.
1. Set the On/Off switch to Stop (0)”.
2. Remove the top cover (A) by undoing the cover
fastening screw (B) on the cover. You can then remove the cover (Fig. 18A).
3. Disconnect the ignition cable (D) from the spark plug by pulling and twisting it simultaneously (Fig. 18B).
4. Remove the spark plug using a spark plug wrench. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TOOLS.
5. Clean the spark plug with a copper wire brush or fit a new one.
9.5 Carburetor setting
The carburetor has been set to its perfect adjustment at the factory. If it requires adjusting, take the saw to your nearest authorized after-sales service outlet.
9.6 Chain bar maintenance
Regular lubrication of the chain bar (guide rail for the chain and teeth) is essential. The chain bar needs the maintenance described in the following section in order for the saw to work at an optimum level of performance.
Caution: The sprocket tip on your new saw has
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.
Tools for lubrication
The Lube Gun 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 sprocket tip
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.
Note: The saw chain does not have to be removed in order to lubricate the teeth of the chain bar. Lubrication is possible during work, with the engine switched off.
Warning: Wear heavy duty work gloves when
handling the bar and chain.
1. Set the On/Off switch to Stop (0)”.
2. Clean the guide bar sprocket tip.
3. Using the Lube Gun (optional), insert needle nose into the lubrication hole and inject grease until it appears at outside edge of sprocket tip (Fig .20).
4. Rotate saw chain by hand. Repeat lubrication procedure until the entire sprocket tip has been greased.
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.
Warning: Always wear protective gloves during
maintenance operations. Do not carry out maintenance when the engine is hot.
Turning the chain bar
The bar should be reversed every 8 working hours to ensure uniform wear. Keep the bar groove and lubrication hole clean using the bar groove cleaner supplied optional. (Fig. 21A) Check the bar rails frequently for wear and, if necessary, remove the burs and square-up the rails using the flat file. (Fig. 21B)
Warning: Never fit a new chain to a worn chain
bar.
Oil passages
Oil passages on the bar should be cleaned to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain during operation.
Note: The condition of the oil passages can be easily checked. If the passages are clear, the chain will automatically give off a spray of oil within seconds of starting the saw. Your saw is equipped with an automatic oiler system.
