SAlways use approved hearing protection.
Regular users should have hearing checked
regularly as chain saw noise can damage
hearing. Long--term exposure to noise can
result in permanent hearing impairment.
SKeep all parts of your body away from the
chain when the engine is running.
SKeep children, bystanders, and animals a
minimum of 10 meters away from the work
area. Do not allow other people or animals to
be near the chain saw when starting or oper-
ating the chain saw.
SDo not handle or operate a chain saw when
you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or if you have
taken alcohol, drugs, or medication. You
must be in good physical condition and men-
tally alert. Chain saw work is strenuous. If
you have any condition that might be aggra-
vated by strenuous work, check with your
doctor before operating a chain saw.
SCarefully plan your sawing operation in ad-
vance. Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and, if you
are felling trees, a planned retreat path.
OPERATE YOUR SAW SAFELY
WARNING:Long term inhalation of
the engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist and
dust from sawdust can result in serious per-
sonal injury.
WARNING:This machine produces
an electromagnetic field during operation.
Under some circumstances, this field may
interfere with active or passive medical im-
plants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal
injury, we recommend persons with medical
implants to consult their physician and the
medical implant manufacturer before operat-
ing this machine.
SDo not operate a chain saw with one hand.
Serious injury to the operator, helpers, by-
standers or any combination of these per-
sons may result from one-handed operation.
A chain saw is intended for two-handed use.
SOperate the chain saw only in a well-venti-
lated outdoor area.
SDo not operate saw from a ladder or in a tree,
unless you are specifically trained to do so.
SMake sure the chain will not make contact
with any object while starting the engine.
Never try to start the saw when the guide
bar is in a cut.
SDo not put pressure on the saw at the end of
the cut. Applying pressure can cause you to
lose control when the cut is completed.
SStop the engine before setting the saw
down.
SDo not operate a chain saw that is dam-
aged, improperly adjusted, or not com-
pletely and securely assembled. Always
replace bar, chain, hand guard, or chain
brake immediately if it becomes damaged,
broken or is otherwise removed.
SWith the engine stopped, hand carry the
chain saw with the muffler away from your
body, and the guide bar and chain to the
rear, preferably covered with a scabbard.
SSecure the machine during transport.

WARNING:The chain brake is de-
signed to stop the chain immediately if you
get a kickback. The chain brake reduces the
risk of accidents, but only you can prevent
them. DO NOT ASSUME THAT THE CHAIN
BRAKE WILL PROTECT YOU IN THE
EVENT OF A KICKBACK.
SThrottle trigger lock--out. The throttle
lock--out is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle trigger.
SChain catcher. The chain catcher is de-
signed to catch the saw chain if it breaks.
SVibration damping system. Your chain
saw is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to minimize vibra-
tion and make operation easier.
SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations
through prolonged use of gasoline powered
hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve
damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of peo-
ple prone to circulation disorders or abnormal
swellings. Prolonged use in cold weather has
been linked to blood vessel damage in other-
wise healthy people. If symptoms occur such
as numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in
skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the fin-
gers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use of
this tool and seek medical attention. An anti-
vibration system does not guarantee the avoid-
ance of these problems. Users who operate
power tools on a continual and regular basis
must monitor closely their physical condition
and the condition of this tool.
SON/STOP switch. The ON/STOP switch
should be used to stop the engine.
CHECKING, MAINTAINING AND
SERVICING CHAIN SAW SAFETY
EQUIPMENT
WARNING:Never use a chain saw
with defective safety equipment. Safety
equipment must be inspected and main-
tained. If your chain saw does not pass in-
spection, take the saw to your nearest ser-
vice dealer for repair.
SChain brake. Brush off any wood dust,
resin and dirt from the chain brake and
clutch drum. Dirt and wear can impair op-
eration of the brake. For additional infor-
mation, see OPERATING YOUR UNIT
section.
SThrottle trigger lock--out. Check that the
throttle trigger can not be operated until the
throttle lock--out is pressed.
SChain catcher. Check that the chain
catcher is not damaged and is firmly at-
tached to the body of the chain saw.
SVibration damping system. Regularly
check the vibration damping units for
cracks or deformation. Make sure the
vibration damping units are securely at-
tached to the engine unit and handle unit.
SON/STOP switch. Start the engine and
make sure the engine stops when you
move the ON/STOP switch to the STOP
position.
MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER
SHave all chain saw service performed by a
qualified service dealer with the exception
of the items listed in the maintenance sec-
tion of this manual. For example, if improp-
er tools are used to remove or hold the fly-
wheel when servicing the clutch, structural
damage to the flywheel can occur and
cause the flywheel to burst.
SMake certain the saw chain stops moving
when the throttle trigger is released. For
correction, refer to CARBURETOR AD-
JUSTMENTS.
SNever modify your saw in any way. Use
only attachments supplied or specifically
recommended by the manufacturer.
SKeep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil
or fuel mixture.
SKeep fuel and oil caps, screws, and fas-
teners securely tightened.
SUse only accessories and replacement
parts as recommended.
HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION
SDo not smoke while handling fuel or while
operating the saw.
SEliminate all sources of sparks or flame in
the areas where fuel is mixed or poured.
There should be no smoking, open flames,
or work that could cause sparks. Allow en-
gine to cool before refueling.
SMix and pour fuel in an outdoor area on
bare ground; store fuel in a cool, dry, well
ventilated place; and use an approved,
marked container for all fuel purposes.
Wipe up all fuel spills before starting saw.
SMove at least 10 feet (3 meters) from fuel-
ing site before starting engine.
STurn the engine off and let saw cool in a
non-combustible area, not on dry leaves,
straw, paper, etc. Slowly remove fuel cap
and refuel unit.
SStore the unit and fuel in an area where fuel
vapors cannot reach sparks or open
flames from water heaters, electric motors
or switches, furnaces, etc.
KICKBACK
WARNING:Avoid kickback which
can result in serious injury. Kickback is the
backward, upward or sudden forward motion
of the guide bar occurring when the saw
chain near the upper tip of the guide bar con-
tacts any object such as a log or branch, or
when the wood closes in and pinches the
saw chain in the cut. Contacting a foreign ob-
ject in the wood can also result in loss of
chain saw control.
SRotational Kickback can occur when the
moving chain contacts an object at the up-
per tip of the guide bar. This contact can
cause the chain to dig into the object,
which stops the chain for an instant. The
result is a lightning fast, reverse reaction
which kicks the guide bar up and back to-
ward the operator.
GB
6
SPinch-Kickback can occur when the the
wood closes in and pinches the moving
saw chain in the cut along the top of the
guide bar and the saw chain is suddenly
stopped. This sudden stopping of the
chain results in a reversal of the chain
force used to cut wood and causes the
saw to move in the opposite direction of the
chain rotation. The saw is driven straight
back toward the operator.
SPull-In can occur when the moving chain
contacts a foreign object in the wood in the
cut along the bottom of the guide bar and
the saw chain is suddenly stopped. This
sudden stopping pulls the saw forward and
away from the operator and could easily
cause the operator to lose control of the
saw.
Avoid Pinch--Kickback:
SBe extremely aware of situations or ob-
structions that can cause material to pinch
the top of or otherwise stop the chain.
SDo not cut more than one log at a time.
SDo not twist the saw as the bar is with-
drawn from an undercut when bucking.
Avoid Pull--In:
SAlways begin cutting with the engine at full
speed and the saw housing against wood.
SUse wedges made of plastic or wood.
Never use metal to hold the cut open.

Working Area
Avoid Obstructions
REDUCETHECHANCEOF
KICKBACK
SRecognize that kickback can happen.
With a basic understanding of kickback,
you can reduce the element of surprise
which contributes to accidents.
SNever let the moving chain contact any ob-
ject at the tip of the guide bar.
SKeep the working area free from obstruc-
tions such as other trees, branches, rocks,
fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid
any obstruction that your saw chain could
hit while you are cutting through a particu-
lar log or branch.
SKeep your saw chain sharp and properly
tensioned. A loose or dull chain can in-
crease the chance of kickback occurring.
Follow manufacturer’s chain sharpening
and maintenance instructions. Check ten-
sion at regular intervals with the engine
stopped, never with the engine running.
Make sure the bar clamp nuts are securely
tightened after tensioning the chain.
SBegin and continue cutting at full speed. If
the chain is moving at a slower speed, there
is greater chance of kickback occurring.
SCut one log at a time.
SUse extreme caution when re-entering a
previous cut.
SDo not attempt cuts starting with the tip of
the bar (plunge cuts).
SWatch for shifting logs or other forces that
could close a cut and pinch or fall into chain.
SUse the Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar and
Low--Kickback Chain specified for your saw.
MAINTAIN CONTROL
Never reverse
hand positions
Stand to the left of
the saw
Thumb on underside of
handlebar
Elbow locked
SKeep a good, firm grip on the saw with both
hands when the engine is running and
don’t let go. A firm grip will help you reduce
kickback and maintain control of the saw.
Keep the fingers of your left hand encir-
cling and your left thumb under the front
handlebar. Keep your right hand complete-
ly around the rear handle whether your are
right handed or left handed. Keep your left
arm straight with the elbow locked.
SPosition your left hand on the front handle-
bar so it is in a straight line with your right
hand on the rear handle when making
bucking cuts. Never reverse right and left
hand positions for any type of cutting.
SStand with your weight evenly balanced on
both feet.
SStand slightly to the left side of the saw to
keep your body from being in a direct line
with the cutting chain.
SDo not overreach. You could be drawn or
thrown off balance and lose control of the
saw.
SDo not cut above shoulder height. It is diffi-
cult to maintain control of saw above
shoulder height.

KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES
WARNING:The following features are
included on your saw to help reduce the hazard
of kickback; however, such features will not to-
tally eliminate this dangerous reaction. As a
chain saw user, do not rely only on safety de-
vices. You must follow all safety precautions,
instructions, and maintenance in this manual to
help avoid kickback and other forces which
can result in serious injury.
SReduced--Kickback Guide Bar, designed
with a small radius tip which reduces the size
of the kickback danger zone on the bar tip. A
Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar has been
demonstrated to significantly reduce the
number and seriousness of kickbacks.

SHandguard, designed to reduce the
chance of your left hand contacting the
chain if your hand slips off the front handle-
bar.
SPosition of front and rear handlebars, de-
signed with distance between handles and
“in-line” with each other. The spread and
“in-line” position of the hands provided by
this design work together to give balance
and resistance in controlling the pivot of
the saw back toward the operator if kick-
back occurs.
WARNING:DO NOT RELY UPON
ANY OF THE DEVICES BUILT INTO YOUR
SAW. YOU SHOULD USE THE SAW
PROPERLY AND CAREFULLY TO AVOID
KICKBACK. Reduced--kickback guide bars
and low--kickback saw chains reduce the
chance and magnitude of kickback and are
recommended. Your saw has a low kickback
chain and bar as original equipment. Re-
pairs on a chain brake should be made by an
authorized servicing dealer. Take your unit to
the place of purchase if purchased from a
servicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized
master service dealer.
STip contact in some cases may cause a
lightning fast reverse REACTION, kicking
the guide bar up and back toward the oper-
ator.
SPinching the saw chain along the top of the
guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly
back toward the operator.
SEither of these reactions may cause you to
lose control of the saw which could result
in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into your saw.
ASSEMBLY
Protective gloves (not provided) should be
worn during assembly.
ATTACHING THE BUMPER SPIKE
The bumper spike may be used as a pivot
when making a cut.
1. Loosen and remove the bar nuts and the
clutch cover from the saw.
2. Attach the bumper spike with the two
screws as illustrated.
ATTACHING THE BAR & CHAIN
(If not already attached)
WARNING:Recheck each assem-
bly step if the saw is received assembled. Al-
ways wear gloves when handling the chain.
The chain is sharp and can cut you even
when it is not moving!
1. Loosen and remove the bar nuts and the
clutch cover from the saw.

3. An adjusting pin and screw is used to ad-
just the tension of the chain. It is very im-
portant when assembling the bar, that the
pin located on the adjusting screw aligns
into a hole in the bar. Turning the screw will
move the adjustment pin up and down the
screw. Locate this adjustment before you
begin mounting the bar onto the saw. See
illustration below.

CHAIN TENSION (Including units
with chain already installed)
WARNING:Wear protective gloves
when handling chain. The chain is sharp and
can cut you even when it is not moving.
NOTE:When adjusting chain tension, make
sure the bar nuts are finger tight only. Attempt-
ing to tension the chain when the bar nuts are
tight can cause damage.
Checking the tension:
Use the screwdriver end of the chain adjust-
ment tool (bar tool) to move the chain around
the bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too
tight. If too loose, the chain will sag below the
bar.

Bar Nuts
6. Use the screwdriver end of the bar tool to
move chain around guide bar.
7. If chain does not rotate, it is too tight.
Slightly loosen bar nuts and loosen chain
by turning the adjusting screw 1/4turn
counterclockwise. Retighten bar nuts.
8. If chain is too loose, it will sag below the
guide bar. DO NOT operate the saw if the
chain is loose.
WARNING:If the saw is operated
with a loose chain, the chain could jump off
the guide bar and result in serious injury.
WARNING:Muffler is very hot during
and after use. Do not touch the muffler or al-
low combustible material such as dry grass
or fuel to do so.
OPERATING YOUR UNIT
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING:Be sure to read the fuel
information in the safety rules before you be-
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact an
authorized service dealer.
BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require continuous lubri-
cation. Lubrication is provided by the auto-
matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept
filled. Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain. Too little oil will cause overheating
shown by smoke coming from the chain and/
or discoloration of the bar. Only use Bar and
Chain Oil for bar and chain lubrication.
Oil Cap Fuel mix cap
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING:Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
CAUTION: Never use straight petrol in
your unit. This will cause permanent engine
damage.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Use good quality unleaded petrol. The lowest
recommended octane grade is 90 (RON).
IMPORTANT
Use of alcohol blended fuels (more than 10%
alcohol) can cause major engine performance
and durability problems.
WARNING:Incorrect use of fuel and/
or lubricants will cause problems such as:
improper clutch engagements, overheat-
ing, vapor lock, power loss, lubrication de-
ficiency, deterioration of fuel lines, gas-
kets and internal carburetor components,
etc. Alcohol blended fuels will cause a high
absorption of moisture in the fuel/oil mix-
ture, causing the separation of oil andfuel.
CHAIN BRAKE
Ensure chain brake is disengaged by pulling
the front hand guard back toward the front han-
dle as far as possible. The chain brake must
be disengaged before cutting with the saw.
WARNING:The chain must not
move when the engine runs at idle speed. If
the chain moves at idle speed refer to CAR-
BURETOR ADJUSTMENT within this
manual. Avoid contact with the muffler. A hot
muffler can cause serious burns.
To stop the engine, move the ON/STOP
switch to the STOP position.
To start the engine, hold the saw firmly on
the ground as illustrated below. Make sure
the chain is free to turn without contacting
any object.

fuel by pushing the choke/fast idle lever in
completely (to the OFF CHOKE position)
and then following the warm engine starting
procedure listed above. Ensure the ON/
STOP switch is in the ON position.
Starting could require pulling the starter rope
handle many times depending on how badly
the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start, re-
fer to the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE.
CHAIN BRAKE
WARNING:If the brake band is worn
too thin it may break when the chain brake is
triggered. With a broken brake band, the chain
brake will not stop the chain. The chain brake
should be replaced by an authorized service
dealer if any part is worn to less than 0,02″(0,5
mm) thick. Repairs on a chain brake should be
made by an authorized service dealer. Take
your unit to the place of purchase if purchased
from a servicing dealer, or to the nearest autho-
rized master service dealer.
SThis saw is equipped with a chain brake.
The brake is designed to stop the chain if
kickback occurs.
SThe inertia activated chain brake is activated
if the front hand guard is pushed forward, ei-
ther manually or by centrifugal force.

SIf the brake is already activated, it is disen-
gaged by pulling the front hand guard back
toward the front handle as far as possible.
SWhen cutting with the saw, the chain brake
must be disengaged.
Engaged
Disengaged
Braking function control
WARNING:The chain brake must be
checked several times daily. The engine
must be running when performing this proce-
dure. This is the only instance when the saw
should be placed on the ground with the en-
gine running.
Place the saw on firm ground. Grip the rear
handle with your right hand and the front han-
dle with your left hand. Apply full throttle by
fully depressing the throttle trigger. Activate
the chain brake by turning your left wrist
against the hand guard without releasing
your grip around the front handle. The chain
should stop immediately.
Inertia activating function control
WARNING:When performing the fol-
lowing procedure, the engine must be turned
off.
Grip the rear handle with your right hand and
the front handle with your left hand. Hold the
chain saw approximately 14” (35 cm) above
a stump or other wooden surface. Release
your grip on the front handle and use the
weight of the saw to let the top of the guide
bar fall forward and contact the stump.
When the tip of the bar hits the stump, the
brake should activate.
CUTTING METHODS
IMPORTANT POINTS
WARNING:Occasionally, wood chips
get stuck in the clutch cover causing the chain
to jam. Always stop engine before cleaning.
SCheck chain tension before first use and
after 1 minute of operation. See CHAIN
TENSION in the ASSEMBLY section.
SCut wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics,
masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.
SThe bumper spike may be used as a pivot
when making a cut. Drive in the bumper
spike of the chain saw directly behind the in-
tended hinge and pivot the saw around this
point. The bumper spike rolls against the
trunk.
SStop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign
object. Inspect the saw and repair parts as
necessary.
SKeep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
and increase the possibility of kickback.
SPractice cutting a few small logs using the
following techniques to get the “feel” of us-
ing your saw before you begin a major
sawing operation.
SSqueeze the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to reach full speed before
cutting.
SBegin cutting with the saw frame
against the log.
SKeep the engine at full speed the en-
tire time you are cutting.
SAllow the chain to cut for you. Exert
only light downward pressure.
SRelease the throttle trigger as soon
as the cut is completed, allowing the
engine to idle. If you run the saw at
full throttle without a cutting load, un-
necessary wear can occur.
STo avoid losing control when cut is
complete, do not put pressure on saw
at end of cut.
SStop the engine before setting the saw
down.
TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES
WARNING:Do not cut near buildings
or electrical wires if you do not know the di-
rection of tree fall, at night since you will not
be able to see well, or during bad weather
such as rain, snow, or strong winds. as fall is
unpredictable.
Carefully plan your sawing operation in ad-
vance. You need a clear area all around the
tree so you can have secure footing. Check
for broken or dead branches which can fall
on you causing serious injury.
Natural conditions that can cause a tree to
fall in a particular direction include:
SThe wind direction and speed.
SThe lean of the tree. The lean of a tree
might not be apparent due to uneven or
sloping terrain. Use a plumb or level to de-
termine the direction of tree lean.
SWeight and branches on one side.
SSurrounding trees and obstacles.
Look for decay and rot. If the trunk is rotted,
it can snap and fall toward the operator.
Make sure there is enough room for the tree to
fall. Maintain a distance of 2-1/2 tree lengths
from the nearest person or other objects. En-
gine noise can drown out a warning call.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples,
and wire from the tree where cuts are to be
made.

Direction of Fall
45_
Plan a clear retreat path
FELLING LARGE TREES
(15cmindiameterorlarger)
The notch method is used to fell large trees.
A notch is cut on the side of the tree in thede-
sired direction of fall. After a felling cut is
made on the opposite side of tree, the tree
will tend to fall into the notch.
NOTCH CUT AND FELLING THE
TREE
SMake notch cut by cutting the top of the
notch first. Cut through 1/3 of the diameter
of the tree. Next complete the notch by cut-
ting the bottom of the notch. See illustra-
tion. Once the notch is cut remove the
notch of wood from the tree.
Notch
First cut
Second cut
Final cut here. 5 cm above
center of notch.
5cm
5cm
SAfter removing the wood from the notch,
make the felling cut on the opposite side of
the notch. This is done by making a cut
about two inches higher than the center of
the notch. This will leave enough uncut
wood between the felling cut and the notch
to form a hinge. This hinge will help prevent
the tree from falling in the wrong direction.
Opening

Closing
of notch
Hinge holds tree on stump and helps
control fall
NOTE:Before felling cut is complete, use
wedges to open the cut when necessary to
control the direction of fall. To avoid kickback
or chain damage, use wood or plastic
wedges, but never steel or iron wedges.
SBe alert to signs that the tree is ready to fall:
cracking sounds, widening of the felling cut,
or movement in the upper branches.
SAs tree starts to fall, stop saw, put it down,
and get away quickly on your planned re-
treat path.
SDO NOT cut down a partially fallen tree
with your saw. Be extremely cautious with
partially fallen trees that may be poorly
supported. When a tree doesn’t fall com-
pletely, set the saw aside and pull down the
tree with a cable winch, block and tackle,
or tractor.
CUTTING A FALLEN TREE
(BUCKING)
Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen
tree to the desired log length.
WARNING:Do not stand on the log
being cut. Any portion can roll causing loss
of footing and control. Do not stand downhill
of the log being cut.
Important points
SCut only one log at a time.
SCut shattered wood very carefully; sharp
pieces of wood could be flung toward oper-
ator.
SUse a sawhorse to cut small logs. Never
allow another person to hold the log while
cutting and never hold the log with your leg
or foot.
SDo not cut in an area where logs, limbs,
and roots are tangled. Drag the logs into a
clear area before cutting by pulling out ex-
posed and cleared logs first.
TYPES OF CUTTING USED FOR
BUCKING
WARNING:If saw becomes pinched
or hung in a log, don’t try to force it out. You
can lose control of the saw resulting in injury
and/or damage to the saw. Stop the saw,
drive a wedge of plastic or wood into the cut
until the saw can be removed easily. Restart
the saw and carefully reenter the cut. Do not
attempt to restart your saw when it is pinched
or hung in a log.
Turn saw OFF and use a plastic or
wooden wedge to force cut open.
Overcutting begins on the top side of the log
with the saw against the log. When overcut-
ting use light downward pressure.
Overcutting
Undercutting
Undercutting involves cutting on the under-
side of the log with top of saw against the log.
When undercutting use light upward pres-
sure. Hold saw firmly and maintain control.
The saw will tend to push back toward you.
WARNING:Never turn saw upside
down to undercut. The saw cannot be con-
trolled in this position.

LIMBING AND PRUNING
WARNING:Be alert for and guard
against kickback. Do not allow the moving
chain to contact any other branched or objects
at the nose of the guide bar when limbing or
pruning. Allowing such contact can result in se-
rious injury.
WARNING:Neverclimbintoatreeto
limb or prune. Do not stand on ladders, plat-
forms, a log, or in any position which can cause
you to lose your balance or control of the saw.
IMPORTANT POINTS
SWatch out for springpoles. Use extreme
caution when cutting small size limbs. Slen-
der material may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
SBe alert for springback. Watch out for
branches that are bent or under pressure.
Avoid being struck by the branch or the saw
when the tension in the wood fibers is re-
leased.
SKeep a clear work area. Frequently clear
branches out of the way to avoid tripping
over them.
LIMBING
SAlways limb a tree after it is cut down. Only
then can limbing be done safely and proper-
ly.
SLeave the larger limbs underneath the
felled tree to support the tree as you work.
SStart at base of the felled tree and work to-
ward the top, cutting branches and limbs.
Remove small limbs with one cut.
SKeep the tree between you and the chain
as much as possible.
SRemove larger, supporting branches with
the cutting techniques described in BUCK-
ING WITHOUT A SUPPORT.
SAlways use an overcut to cut small and
freely hanging limbs. Undercutting could
cause limbs to fall and pinch saw.
PRUNING
WARNING:Limit pruning to limbs
shoulder height or below. Do not cut if
branches are higher than your shoulder. Get
a professional to do the job.
SMake your fist cut 1/3 of the way through
the bottom of the limb.
SNext make a 2nd cut all the way through
the limb. Then cut a third overcut leaving
a 1 to 2 inch collar from the trunk of the tree.

CHAIN SHARPENING
WARNING:Improper chain sharpen-
ing techniques and/or depth gauge mainte-
nance will increase the chance of kickback
which can result in serious injury.
WARNING:Wear protective gloves
when handling chain. The chain is sharp and
can cut you even when it is not moving.
Conditions which indicate the need for chain
sharpening:
SReduction in size of wood chips. The size
of the wood chip will decrease as the chain
gets duller until it becomes more like a
powder than a chip. Note that dead or
rotted wood will not produce a good chip.
SSaw cuts to one side or at an angle.
SSaw has to be forced through the cut.
Tools required:
S5/32 inch (4 mm) diameter round file and
file holder
SFlat file
SDepth gauge tool
TO SHARPEN CHAIN:
1. MoveON/STOPswitchtotheSTOP
position.
2. Check chain for proper tension. Adjust
chain tension if necessary.
3. Sharpen cutters.
STo sharpen the cutters, position the
file holder level (90°) so that it rests
on the top edges of the cutter and
depth gauge.
NOTE: The chain has both left and
right hand cutters.

SSharpen cutters on one side of the
chain first. File from the inside of each
cutter to the outside. Then, turn the
chain saw around and repeat the pro-
cess for the other side of the chain.
SFile on the forward stroke only. Use 2
or 3 strokes per cutting edge.
SKeep all cutters the same length
when filing.
SFile enough to remove any damage
to cutting edges (side plate and top
plate of cutter).

SMaintain rounded front corner of
depth gauge with a flat file.
NOTE: The very top of the depth
gauge should be flat with the front
half rounded off with a flat file.
If you require further assistance or are unsure
about performing this procedure, contact your
authorized service dealer.
CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:The chain will be moving
during most of this procedure. Wear your pro-
tective equipment and observe all safety pre-
cautions. The chain must not move at idle
speed.
The carburetor has been carefully set at the
factory. Adjustments may be necessary if you
notice any of the following conditions:
SChain moves at idle. See IDLE SPEED--T
adjusting procedure.
SSaw will not idle. See IDLE SPEED--T ad-
justing procedure.
Idle Speed ---T
Allow engine to idle. If the chain moves, idle is
too fast. If the engine stalls, idle is too slow. Ad-
just speed until engine runs without chain
movement (idle too fast) or stalling (idle too
slow). The idle speed screw is located in the
area above the primer bulb and is labeled T.
STurn idle speed screw (T) clockwise to in-
crease engine speed.
STurn idle speed screw (T) counterclockwise
to decrease engine speed.
STORAGE
WARNING:Stop engine and allow to
cool, and secure the unit before storing or
transporting in a vehicle. Store unit and fuel
in an area where fuel vapors cannot reach
sparks or open flames from water heaters,
electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.
Store unit with all guards in place. Position so
that any sharp object cannot accidentally
cause injury to passersby. Store the unit out
of reach of children.
SBefore storing, drain all fuel from the unit.
Start engine and allow to run until it stops.
SClean the unit before storing. Pay particular
attention to the air intake area, keeping it free
of debris. Use a mild detergent and sponge
to clean the plastic surfaces.
SDo not store the unit or fuel in a closed area
where fuel vapors can reach sparks or an
open flame from hot water heaters, electric
motors or switches, furnaces, etc.
SStore in a dry area out of the reach of chil-
dren.
SEnsure the machine is cleaned and that a
complete service is carried out before long--
term storage.
SThe guide bar and chain must always be
covered with a scabbard when the machine
is being transported or in storage in order to
prevent accident contact with the sharp
chain. Even a non--moving chain can cause
serious cuts to yourself or persons you
bump into with an exposed chain.
WARNING:It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential fuel
system parts such as the carburetor, fuel fil-
ter, fuel hose, or fuel tank during storage. Al-
cohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to fuel mixture separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the engine.
