KICKBACK
WARNING: Kickback is the
backward, upward or sudden
movement of the guide bar that
occurs when the guide bar contacts
an object or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw in the cut. The
saw contacting a foreign object in the
wood can also result in a loss of
control.
Rotational kickback occurs when
the moving chain contacts an object
with the upper tip of the guide bar.
This can cause the chain to dig into
the object, which then stops the
chain for a moment. The result is a
reverse reaction, which kicks the
guide bar up and back towards the
operator.
Pinch kickback occurs when the
woods closes in on the moving chain
along the top of the guide bar. The
sudden stop of the chain results in
the saw to move in the opposite
direction of the rotation and the saw
is driven straight back towards the
operator.
Pull in occurs when the moving
chain comes in contact with a foreign
object in the wood along the bottom
of the guide bar. This sudden stop
pulls the saw forward and away from
the operator and could possibly
cause the operator to lose control of
the saw.
Avoiding Kickback
Be aware of situations or objects that
can cause the material to pinch the
top of or stop the chain.
Do not cut more than one log at a
time.
Do not twist the saw when the bar is
withdrawn from an undercut.
Always begin cutting with the engine
at full speed and with the saw
housing resting against the wood.
Use wedges made of plastic or wood
to hold the cut open. Never use
metal.
Stay alert. Realize kickback can
occur and keep the cutting area free
from foreign objects.
Keep your chain properly tensioned
and sharp, along with properly
maintaining the chainsaw. Failure to
do so can increase the chance of
kickback occurring.
Begin and continue the cut with the
engine running at full speed. Use
caution while re-entering a previous
cut. Do not attempt a plunge cut
(starting a cut with the tip of the
blade).
Maintaining Control of the
Chainsaw
Stand to the left of the saw. Keep
your elbow locked and a firm grip on
the saw.
Keep the thumb on the underside of
the handlebar. Never reverse hand
positions (left hand on handlebar
and right hand on the rear handle).
Stand slightly to the left side of the
saw to keep your body from being in
a straight line with the saw. Stand
with your weight evenly balanced
between both feet.
Do not overreach because you could
be thrown off balance and lose
control of the saw. Do not cut above
shoulder height because it is difficult
to maintain proper control of the saw
at that height.
Chain Brake
The chain brake is designed to stop
the chain from rotating in the event
of a kickback.
WARNING: DO NOT RELY UPON
THE CHAIN BRAKE (OR OTHER
SAFETY FEATURES) TO
PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF
A KICKBACK. Use your chainsaw
properly and under the correct
circumstances to avoid kickback.
ASSEMBLY
Wear protective gloves at all times
during assembly due to the handling
of sharp objects.
Attaching the Bumper Spike
The bumper spike may be used as a
pivot when making a cut.
1) Loosen and remove the bar knob
completely by loosening the two
nuts.
2) Remove the clutch cover.
3) Attach the bumper spike with the
two screws with the spikes pointing
downward.
Attaching the Bar and Chain
1) Make sure the saw bottom is
resting on a flat surface. Be sure the
chain brake is pulled back. (Figure1)
Loosen and remove the bar knob
completely by removing the two
nuts. (Figure 2)

Figure 2

2) Remove the clutch cover.
(Figure 3)
3) Slide the guide bar on the bar
bolts until the guide bar rests against
the clutch drum sprocket. (Figure 4)
4) Hold the chain with the drive links
as shown. The drive links should be
facing inward with the cutters facing
to the right, or direction of rotation.
(Figure 5)
5) Fit the drive links in the clutch
drum sprocket. (Figure 6)
Figure 6
6) Place the chain drive links into the
bar groove.
7) Pull the guide bar forward to
make sure all of the drive links are in
the bar groove.
8) Reinstall the clutch cover. (Figure
3) Make sure the adjusting pin is
aligned with the hole in the guide
bar.
CAUTION: Make sure the
adjustment pin aligns with the hole.
Failure to align the pin and install the
cover properly may result in
damage, possibly permanent, to
your saw.
ADJUSTING CHAIN TENSION
Before adjusting, make sure the bar
knobs are loosened 1 ½ - 2 turns.
Adjusting the chain tension with the
knobs tight can cause damage.
Checking the Chain Tension
Check the chain tension by using a
screwdriver to move the chain along
the bar. If it does not rotate, it is too
tight. If it sags below the bar, it is too
loose.
Adjusting the Chain Tension
The chain stretches slightly during
each use, especially the first few
times the saw is used. Always check
the chain tension each time the saw
is used and refueled.
1) Make sure the bar knobs are
loosened 1-1/2 – 2 turns.
2) Using a screwdriver, adjust the
tension of the chain. The adjusting
pin is located right below the two bar
knobs.
4
3) Turn the screw to the right to
increase the tension and turn it to
the left to release tension.
4) Using a screwdriver, move the
chain around on the guide bar to
make sure all of the links are in the
bar groove. If the chain does not
rotate, it is too tight and the
adjuster needs to be loosened.
5) Tighten the bar knob securely
after the tension is adjusted.
FUELING AND LUBRICATION
Use regular grade unleaded
gasoline mixed with 40:1 2-cycle
engine oil. Do not use a fuel
mixture that has been stored for
more than 90 days.
The bar and chain require constant
lubrication in order to function
properly. Lubrication is provided by
the oiler system. Lack of oil will
cause damage to the bar and
chain. Smoke coming from the
chain and discoloration on the bar
are signs the oil is low.
Fueling Safety Instructions
1) Do not smoke while fueling or
operating the saw.
2) Do not allow sparks or flame in
the area where the fuel is poured or
mixed. Always allow the engine to
cool before refueling.
3) When refueling, turn the engine
off and let it fuel in a non-
combustible area. Slowly remove
the fuel cap and refuel the saw.
4) Mix and pour the fuel in a well-
ventilated outdoor area. Store the
fuel in a cool, dry place. Wipe up
fuel spills before attempting to start
the saw.
5) Start the engine at least 10 feet
from the fueling site

6) Store the saw and fuel in an area
where sparks or open flame will not
reach it.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Warning: The chain must not move
when the engine is running at an idle
speed. If the chain moves, the
carburetor must be adjusted. Avoid
contact with the muffler because a
hot muffler can cause serious burns
or injury.
Operation Safety Instructions
1) Do not operate a chainsaw with
one hand.
2) Only operate the chainsaw in a
well-ventilated, outdoor area.
3) Make sure that the chainsaw will
not come into contact with any object
while starting the engine. Do not start
the saw when the guide bar is in the
4) Do not apply pressure to the saw
at the end of a cut. It can cause you
to lose control of the saw when the
cut is complete.
5) Make sure the engine is stopped
before setting down the saw.
6) Make sure your chainsaw is in
good condition before operating. Do
not operate a saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not
completely and securely assembled.
7) Do not carry the saw with the
engine running. Carry the saw with
the engine stopped and the muffler
pointing away from you, with the
guide bar and chain facing behind
you. The chain should be covered
with a bar cover to ensure the blade
will not cause harm.
8) Do not run while operating the
chainsaw.
Starting A Cold Engine
Hold the saw firmly against the
ground and make sure the chain is
free to move without contacting any
object.
1) Move the ON/OFF switch to the
ON position.
2) Pull the choke lever out to its full
extent.
3) Pull the starter rope quickly with
your right hand a maximum of 5
times. If the engine sounds as
though it is trying to start before the
5th pull, do not pull any more and
immediately go to the next step.
4) Push the choke lever fully in.
5) Pull the starter rope quickly with
your right hand until the engine
starts.
6) Allow the engine to run for
approximately 30 seconds before
squeezing and releasing the throttle
trigger, which will allow the engine to
return to idle speed.
Starting a Warm Engine
1) Place the ON/OFF switch into the
ON position.
2) Push the choke lever full in.
3) Pull on the starter rope quickly
with your right hand until the engine
starts.
4) After the engine starts, squeeze
and release the throttle trigger, this
will allow the engine to return to idle
speed.
Flooded Engine
If your engine does not start after 10
pulls, it may be flooded. It can be
cleared of the excess fuel by
following the warm engine starting
process. Make sure the
ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.
The amount of flooding in the engine
will determine how many pullsare
necessary for it to start.
Checking the Chain Brake
The chain brake should be checked
several times during use. The
engine needs to be running while
this is done and it is the only time
the saw should be set on the
ground with the engine running.
1) Place the saw on the ground.
2) Grasp the rear handle with your
right hand and the front with your
left.
3) Apply the full throttle with your
right hand.
4) Activate the chain brake by
turning your left wrist against the
hand guard without letting go of the
front handle.
The chain should stop immediately.
If the chain brake fails to activate,
take the saw to an authorized
dealer to have the chain brake
replaced or repaired.
CUTTING METHOD
INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Instructions
Check the chain tension before
using the saw for the first time and
after 1 minute of operation
Do not cut any material other than
wood. Do not cut metal, plastic,
masonry, non-wood building
materials, etc.
If the chain strikes a foreign object,
stop the saw and inspect the chain
for damage. If damage is present,
repair or replace the necessary
parts.
Keep the saw clear of dirt or sand
because even a small amount
could dull the blade and possibly
cause kickback.
Before starting a major project,
practice cutting a few logs.
middle of a cut.

6
Important Operation Reminders
Allow the engine to reach full speed
before cutting.
Begin cutting with the saw frame
resting against the log.
Keep the engine at full speed the
entire time you are cutting.
Allow the chain to do the work for
you. Do not apply excess pressure.
Forcing the cut may cause damage
to the engine, bar and/or chain.
When the cut is complete, release
the trigger and allow the engine to
return to idle. Running the saw at full
throttle without cutting can cause
wear to the chainsaw.
Do not put pressure on the saw at
the end of a cut in order to maintain
control of the saw.
Stop the engine before setting down
the saw.
Tree Felling
WARNING: Do not cut near buildings
or electrical wires if the direction of
the fall is uncertain. Check for broken
or dead branches, which could fall
while cutting. Do not cut at night or
during bad weather. If the tree falls
onto a utility line, notify the utility
company immediately.
Plan your sawing operation in
advance. Clear the work area in
order to have a secure footing.
Evaluate the natural conditions that
could affect the direction of the fall
such as wind, lean of the tree, weight
and branches on one side,
surrounding trees, decay and rot.
Make sure the tree has enough room
to fall. Keep a distance of at least 2
½ tree lengths from the nearest
person or object because engine
noises or the tree falling can drown
out warning calls.
Remove all foreign objects from the
tree where the cuts are going to be
made. Plan a clear retreat path that
is diagonally back from the line
of the fall.
Felling Large Trees (6 in. or larger
in diameter)
A notch is cut into the side of the
tree in the desired falling direction.
After a felling cut is made, the tree
will tend to fall into the notch.
Note: If the tree has large buttress
roots, remove them before making
the notch into the tree. If you use a
chainsaw to remove the roots, keep
the chain from contacting the ground
to prevent the chain from dulling.
1) Make the notch by cutting the top
of the notch first. Cut through 1/3 of
the diameter of the tree. Complete
the notch by cutting the bottom of
the notch. Remove the notch of
wood from the tree once the notch is
cut.
2) After removing the wood, make
the felling cut on the opposite side of
the notch. Make a cut about two
inches higher than the center of the
notch. This will leave a hinge
between the felling cut and the
notch. The hinge will help prevent
the tree from falling in the wrong
direction. It also helps hold the tree
on the stump and control the fall.
Before the felling cut is complete,
use wedges, if necessary, to open
the cut and control the direction of
the fall. Use wood or plastic wedges
to avoid kickback and chain
damage. Never use steel or iron
wedges.
Be alert to signs that the tree is
about to fall, such as cracking
sounds, widening of the felling cut,
or movement in the branches.
As the tree begins to fall, stop and
put down the saw and quickly get
away on your planned retreat path.
Do not cut down a partially fallen
tree. Be cautious when working
around partially fallen trees
because they may be poorly
supported. If a tree does not fall
completely, put the saw aside and
pull down the tree with a cable
winch, block and tackle or a tractor.
Cutting A Fallen Tree (Bucking)
WARNING: DO NOT stand on the
log that is being cut. If the log rolls,
it can cause loss of footing and
control. Do not stand downhill of
the log being cut.
Only cut one log at a time.
Cut shattered wood carefully.
Sharp pieces of wood could
possibly be thrown back towards
the operator.
Never allow another person to hold
a small log for cutting, or use your
leg or foot to hold it. Use a
sawhorse to cut small logs.
Do not cut in an area where logs,
roots and limbs are tangled. Drag
the logs into a clear area before
cutting.
Types of Cutting for Bucking
WARNING: If a saw becomes
pinched in a log, do not try to force
it out. It is possible to lose control
of the saw which can result in injury
and/or damage to yourself or the
saw. Stop the saw and drive a
plastic or wood wedge into the cut
until the saw can be removed.
Restart the saw and re-enter the
cut. Using a metal wedge can
cause kickback and chain damage.
Do not attempt to restart your saw
when it is pinched in a log.

7
Overcutting is when the bottom of
the saw is against the top of the log.
Use a light, downward pressure
when overcutting.
Undercutting is when the log is cut
from the underside with the top of the
saw against the log. Use a light
upward pressure. Hold the saw firmly
and maintain control of the saw
because it will tend to push
backwards.
DO NOT turn the saw upside down
to undercut. Control of the saw
cannot be maintained in this position.
Always make your first cut on the
compression side of the log (where
the pressure of the log’s weight is
concentrated).
Bucking Without A Support
Using an overcut, cut through 1/3 the
diameter of the log.
Roll the log over and finish with a
second overcut.
Watch out for logs with a
compression side to prevent the saw
from being pinched.
Bucking Using A Log or Support
Stand
Make your first cut on the
compression side of the log and
extend it 1/3 into the diameter of the
log. Finish with a second cut.
Limbing and Pruning
WARNING: Be on alert for kickback.
Keep the moving chain away from
any other branches or objects when
limbing or pruning. Never climb into a
tree to limb or prune. Do not stand on
ladders, platforms, other logs or in a
position with unsteady footing.
Important Safety Reminders
Work slowly with both hands
gripping the saw. Maintain balance
and a secure footing.
Use caution when cutting smaller
limbs. Small limbs may catch in the
chain and be flung towards you or
throw you off balance.
Watch out for branches that are
under pressure or bent. When the
wood is cut, the tension may cause
the wood to be flung.
Keep your work area clear. Clear
away branches from the work area
in order to avoid tripping over them.
Limbing
Limbing should only be done when a
tree is already cut down.
Leave any large limbs under the tree
for support as you work.
Start at the base of the tree and
work towards the top. Small limbs
can be removed in one cut.
Keep the tree between you and the
chain. Cut opposite from the branch
being cut.
Remove any larger, supportive
branches with the technique
described in Bucking Without A
Support.
Always use an overcut to cut small
and free hanging limbs. Do not use
an undercut because it may cause
limbs to fall and pinch the saw.
Pruning
WARNING: Do not prune limbs that
are above shoulder height. If the
branches are higher than your
shoulder, have a professional
perform the job.
Make your first cut 1/3 of the way
through the limb.
Make the second cut all the way
through the limb. The cut a third
overcut through the branch, leaving
a 1 – 2 inch collar from the trunk of
the tree.

while the engine is hot.

8
Air Filter Cleaning
DO NOT clean the air filter in
gasoline or other flammable
solutions. Doing so can create a fire
hazard or harmful emissions.
DO NOT operate the saw without an
air filter. Dust and dirt will be drawn
directly into the engine and damage
it. Keep the air filter clean.
1) Remove the top cover by
unscrewing the fastening screw.
2) Lift out the air filter.
3) Clean the air filter in warm, soapy
water and rinse in clean water.
4) Allow the filter to air dry
completely.
5) Insert the air filter back into the
chainsaw. Replace the cover on the
chainsaw. Make sure the cover is
fitted securely and properly before
tightening the screw.
Fuel Filter Cleaning
NEVER use the saw without a fuel
filter. After 100 hours of use, the filter
should be cleaned or replaced, if
damaged.
Make sure the fuel tank is empty
before changing the filter.
1) Remove the fuel tank cap.
2) Bend a piece of soft wire.
3) Reach into the tank opening and
hook the fuel line. Carefully pull the
line towards the opening until you
can reach it with your fingers.
DO NOT pull the hose completely
out of the tank.
4) Lift the filter out of the tank.
5) Pull off the filter. If it is damaged,
discard and replace with a new one.
6) Insert a new filter. Place the filter
into the opening and push it into the
tank. Make sure it is situated in the
lower corner of the tank. If need be,
use a long screwdriver to
move the filter into the correct
position. Be careful not to damage the
filter.
7) Fill the tank with new fuel mixture.
Spark Plug
The spark plug must be cleaned or
replaced after every 20 hours of
service.
1) Make sure the ON/OFF switch is
turned off.
2) Remove the top cover by
unscrewing the fastener.
3) Remove the air filter.
4) Disconnect the ignition cable from
the spark plug by pulling and twisting
simultaneously.
5) Remove the spark plug by using a
spark plug wrench.
6) Clean the spark plug with a copper
wire brush. The electrode gap should
be 0.6mm.
7) Reconnect the ignition cable.
8) Replace the air filter.
9) Replace the top cover, make sure
the cover is securely fitted, and then
screw down the fastener.
Carburetor
The carburetor has already been
properly adjusted at the factory. If it
requires additional adjustment, take
the saw to an authorized service
dealer.
Chain Bar Maintenance
The chain bar needs to be regularly
lubricated and maintained in order for
it to work.
Tools for lubrication
A lube gun is recommended, but not
required, for applying grease to the
guide bar sprocket tip. The gun is
equipped with a needle nose tip,
which allows the grease to be
efficiently applied.
Lubricating the sprocket tip
The sprocket tip on your new saw
has been pre-lubricated in the
factory. It needs to be lubricated
properly otherwise it will perform
poorly, and possibly seize.
Lubrication is recommended once a
week or after 10 hours of use. Clean
the bar tip before lubrication.
The chain does not have to be
removed to lubricate the bar tip.
Lubrication is possible while
working, however the engine must
be turned off.
Warning: Wear work gloves when
handling the chain and bar.
1) Make sure the engine is off, with
the ON/OFF switch in the Off
position.
2) Clean the guide bar tip.
3) Using the lubrication gun, insert
the nose into the lubrication hole and
fill it with grease until it appears at
the edges of the tip.
4) Rotate the saw by hand. Add
additional lubrication until the entire
tip has been greased.
Many guide bar problems can be
avoided by properly maintaining the
bar and chain saw. Insufficient
lubrication or using a saw with a
chain that is too tight will cause the
bar to wear rapidly.
Maintaining the chain bar
The bar should be reversed after 8
hours of work to keep uniform wear.
Check the bar frequently for wear,
and if need be, remove burs and
square up the rails by using the flat
file.
1) Be sure the ON/OFF switch is Off.
2) Loosen the bar knob and remove
the cover.
3) Remove the chain and bar from
the saw.

9
4) Clean the oil holes and bar
groove.
5) If the bar is burred, remove the
burs with a flat file.
6) If the rail top is uneven, use a flat
file to make the sides and edges
square again.
Replace the guide bar when the
groove is worn, the bar is bent or
cracked, or when excessive heating
or burring occurs. If the bar needs
replacing, only use the guide bar
specified in the parts list or on the
chain saw.
Oil passages
The oil passages should be cleaned
to allow proper lubrication of the bar
and chain.
The condition of the passages can
be checked. If they are clear, the
chain will automatically send off a
spray of oil within seconds of starting
the saw because it is equipped with
an automatic oiler system.
Automatic chain lubrication
The chain is equipped with an
automatic oil system with a toothed
wheel drive. It will automatically
supply the bar and chain with the
right amount of oil. When the engine
is accelerated, the oil will flow
through the bar more quickly.
The lubrication system has been set
at the factory. The screw for
adjusting the lubrication is located on
the underside of the chainsaw. By
turning the screw counterclockwise,
it will increase the lubrication and
turning it clockwise will decrease the
lubrication.
To check the lubrication, hold the
chain saw over a piece of paper and
run it at full speed for a few seconds.
The amount of oil on the paper will
determine if the lubrication needs to
be increased or not.
Chain Maintenance
Sharpening
Chain sharpening requires special
tools to ensure that the cutters are
sharpened to the proper angle and
depth. We recommend you allow a
professional chain sharpener to
sharpen your chain.
Breaking in a new chain
A new chain and bar will need
adjusting after as few as 5 cuts. This
is normal during the break-in period
and the interval between future
adjustments will begin to lengthen.
Chain lubrication
Make sure the oil tank is filled with
the appropriate oil to lubricate the
chain. Running the saw with low or
no oil will cause damage to the
chain and the saw, causing
overheating and excessive wear.
STORAGE
If a chainsaw is going to be in
storage for longer than 30 days,
follow these instructions.
Storing a chainsaw
1) Remove the fuel tank slowly in
order to release any pressure in the
tank. Carefully drain the fuel from
the tank.
2) To remove all of the fuel from the
carburetor, start the engine and let it
run until the saw stops.
3) Allow the engine to cool
completely.
4) Remove the spark plug.
5) Pour 1 teaspoon of 2-cycle oil into
the combustion chamber. Slowly pull
the starter rope a few times in order
to coat the internal parts. Replace
spark plug.
Note: Store the unit away from
water, sources of flame and sparks
and in a cool, dry location.
Preparation to use saw again
1) Remove the spark plug.
2) Pull the starter rope briefly to
clear excess oil from the
combustion chamber.
3) Clean the spark plug and check
the electrode gap.
4) Replace the spark plug.
5) Fill the fuel tank with the proper
fuel mixture.
6) Check oil levels.

Limited Warranty
For 1 years from the date of purchase Focus-On Tools (FOT) will replace or repair defects in material and
workmanship for the original purchaser of the chain saw. The warranty will not apply to any unit which was
not assembled correctly, misused, overloaded or which has been used or operated contrary to our
instructions, or which has been repaired or altered by anyone other than a service representative authorized
by FOT.
Exclusions
This warranty does not cover cosmetic defects such as paint, decals or wear items such as a chain. This
warranty will not cover failures or problems due to acts of God, or events or forces beyond the control of
the manufacturer.
The chain saw needs periodic service to perform well. This warranty does not cover repair when normal use
has exhausted the life of a part or the equipment as a whole.
Installation, Use and Maintenance Exclusion
This warranty will not apply to parts and/or labor if the chain saw has been misused, neglected, involved in
an accident, abused, loaded beyond its limits, modified or assembled incorrectly. Normal maintenance is
not covered under this warranty.
Limits of Implied Warranty and Consequential Damage Exclusion
FOT disclaims any obligation to cover any loss of time, use of this product, freight, or any incidental or
consequential claim by anyone from using this chainsaw. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR.
An exchange unit will be subject to the original warranty. The length of the warranty governing the
exchanged unit will have the date as the purchase date of the original unit. This warranty gives you certain
legal rights which may change from state to state. Your state may also have other rights you may be
entitled to that are not listed within this warranty.
