KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FOR CHAIN SAW USERS
WARNING
• 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.
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 towards the operator.
Either of these reactions may cause
you to Iose control of the saw, which
could result in serious personal injury.
• Do not rely exclusively on the safety
devices built into your saw. As a
chain saw user you should take sev-
eral steps to keep cutting jobs free
from accident or injury.
(1) With a basic understanding of kick-
back you can reduce or eliminate the
element of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.
(2)
Keep a good 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.
(3) Make certain 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) Follow the manufacturer’s sharpen-
ing and maintenance instructions for
the saw chain.
(6) Only use replacement bars and
chains specified by the manufacturer
or the equivalent.
WARNING
Make sure the chain and sprocket are
•
correctly adjusted before operating the
pruner (see page 7~8 for adjustment
procedures). Never attempt chain adjustment with the engine running!
• Always make sure the cutting attach-
ment is properly installed and firmly
tightened before operation.
• Never use a cracked or warped guide
bar: replace it with a serviceable one
and make sure it fits properly.
• If saw chain should bind fast in a cut,
shut off the engine immediately. Push
the branch or tree to ease the bind and
free saw chain.
• Do not operate the pruner with the
muffler removed.
•
When cutting a limb that is under tension, be alert for springback so that you
will not be struck by the moving limb.
• Always stop the engine immediately
and check for damage if you strike a
foreign object or if the machine becomes tangled. Do not operate with
broken or damaged equipment.
IMPORTANT
• Do not make unauthorized modifica-
tions or substitutions to the guide bar
or chain.
• Never allow the engine to run at high
RPM without a load. Doing so could
damage the engine.
• Keep the pruner as clean as possible.
Keep it free of loose vegetation, mud,
etc

■ FUEL
WARNING
• Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or
bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure
to stop the engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling
and move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the fueling
point before starting the engine.
• The Zenoah engines are lubricated by oil specially formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use. If
Zenoah oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added
quality oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE).
• Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type)
mixed oil.
■ RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO
GASOLINE 50 : OIL 1
(when using ZENOAH genuine oil)
• Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental engine parameters and components (eq.,
carburation, ignition timing and port timing) without addition of any major hardware or the introduction of an inert material during combustion.
• These engines are certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline.
• Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum octane number of 89RON (USA/Canada: 87AL).
• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value than prescribed, there is a danger that the engine temperature may rise and an engine problem such as piston
seizing may consequently occur.
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the contamination of the air for the sake of your health and the
environment.
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing
rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.
■ HOW TO MIX FUEL
WARNING
• Pay attention to agitation.
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be
mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel
container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at
least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to
agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be
7. Fuel and chain oil 8. Operation
PSZ2600
careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an
increased danger of early piston seizing due to abnormally lean mixture.
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container
to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers.
6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy
identification.
■ FUELING THE UNIT
1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a
dustless place.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel
spillage around the unit.
WARNING
1. Select flat and bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that
time, be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline in the container.
■ FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID:
1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) – It will cause
severe damage to the internal engine parts very
quickly.
2. GASOHOL – It can cause deterioration of rubber and/
or plastic parts and disruption of engine lubrication.
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE – It can cause spark
plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring
sticking.
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a pe-
riod of one month or more may clog the carburetor
and result in the engine failing to operate properly.
5. In the case of storing the product for a long period of
time, clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty. Next,
activate the engine and empty the carburetor of the
composite fuel.
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container,
scrap it only at an authorized repository site.

An increase in bar oil flow rate will speed oil consumption, requiring more frequent checks on the oil reservoir. To ensure sufficient lubrication, it may be necessary to check the oil level more
frequently than at fuel tank refills.
The guide bar and chain are lubricated automatically by a pump
that operates whenever the chain rotates. The pump is set at
the factory to deliver a minimum flow rate, but it can be adjusted in the field. A temporary increase in oil flow is often desirable when cutting things like hardwood or wood with a lot of
pitch.
Adjust the pump as follows:
1. Stop the engine and make sure the stop switch is in the OFF
position.
2. Place the unit on its side with the oil reservoir up.

WARNING
• Make sure that the engine has stopped and is cool before performing any service to the machine. Contact with
moving cutting head or hot muffler may result in a personal injury.
AIR FILTER
• The air filter, if clogged, will reduce the engine performance.
Check and clean the filter element in warm, soapy water as
required. Dry completely before installing. If the element is
broken or shrunk, replace with a new one.

(1) Air filter
FUEL FILTER
• When the engine runs short of fuel supply, check the fuel
cap and the fuel filter for blockage.
SPARK PLUG
• Starting failure and misfiring are often caused by a fouled
spark plug. Clean the spark plug and check that the plug
gap is in the correct range. For a replacement plug, use the
correct type specified by ZENOAH.
0.65 mm
• REPLACEMENT PLUG IS A NGK CMR7A.
IMPORTANT
• Note that using any spark plug other than those designated
may result in the engine failing to operate properly or in the
engine becoming overheated and damaged.
• To install the spark plug, first turn the plug until it is finger
tight, then tighten it a quarter turn more with a socket wrench.

SPARK ARRESTER
• The muffler is equipped with a spark arrester to prevent red
hot carbon from flying out of the exhaust outlet. Periodically
inspect and clean as necessary with a wire brush in the repair specialty store.

INTAKE AIR COOLING VENT
WARNING
• Check the intake air cooling vent after every 25 hours of
use for blockage, and remove any waste which has attached itself to the machine.
IMPORTANT
• If waste gets stuck and causes blockage around the intake
air cooling vent, it may cause the engine to overheat, and
that in turn may cause mechanical failure on the part of the
machine.
OILING PORT
Dismount the guide bar and check the oiling port for clogging.

The guide bar rail should always be a square. Check for wear
of the guide bar rail. Apply a ruler to the bar and the outside of
a cutter. If a gap is observed between them, the guide bar rail
is normal. Otherwise, the guide bar rail is worn. Such a bar
needs to be corrected or replaced.

SAW CHAIN
WARNING
It is very important for smooth and safe operation to keep
the cutters always sharp.
Your cutters need to be sharpened when:
• Sawdust becomes powder-like.
•You need extra force to saw in.
• The cut way does not go straight.
•Vibration increases.
• Fuel consumption increases.
Cutter setting standards:
After every cutter has been set, check the depth gauge and file
it to the proper level as illustrated. (MA7)
0.025" (0.64 mm)
(1) Appropriate gauge checker
(2) Make the shoulder round
(3) Depth gauge standard
WARNING
Be sure to round off the front edge to reduce the chance of
kickback or tie-strap breakage.
WARNING
Be sure to wear safety gloves.
Before filing:
• Make sure the saw chain is held securely.
• Make sure the engine is stopped.
• Use a round file of proper size for your chain.
Chain type : 90SG
File size : 5/32 in (4.0 mm)
Place your file on the cutter and push straightforward. Keep the
file position as illustrated.
Make sure every cutter has the same length and edge angles
as illustrated.

TRANSMISSION
The reduction gears are lubricated by multipurpose, lithiumbased grease in the transmission.
Supply new grease every 25 hours of use or more often depending on the job condition.
When adding lubricant, use a grease gun to insert lubricant
into the three grease nipples located on the transmission.

until it uses all the fuel left in the fuel line and the carburetor.
Store the unit indoor taking necessary measures for rust prevention.
11. Disposal
• When you dispose of the machine, do not disassemble the
machine.
• When you dispose of the machine, fuel, oil, be sure to follow your local regulations.
12. Troubleshooting guide
Case 1. Starting failure
CHECK PROBABLE CAUSES ACTION
fuel tank → incorrect fuel → drain it and use correct fuel
fuel filter → fuel filter is clogged → clean
carburetor adjustment screw → out of normal range → adjust to normal range
sparking (no spark) → spark plug is fouled/wet → clean/dry
→ plug gap is incorrect → correct (GAP: 0.65 mm)
spark plug → disconnected → retighten
Case 2. Engine starts but does not keep running/hard re-starting
CHECK PROBABLE CAUSES ACTION
fuel tank → incorrect fuel or staled fuel → drain it and use correct fuel
carburetor adjustment screw → out of normal range → adjust to normal range
muffler, cylinder (exhaust port) → carbon is built-up → consult with the repair specialty store
air cleaner → clogged with dust → air blow or wash
cylinder fin, fan cover → clogged with dust → consult with the repair specialty store
