1. Breakage or Damage During Shipment
The transportation company is fully responsible for all shipping damage and will resolve problems promptly if you handle it
correctly. Please read these instructions carefully.
Examine the contents of all shipping cases. If you find any damage, call your transportation agent at once and have them make a
description on the freight or express bill describing the damage and the number of pieces. Then write us and we will send you the
original bill of lading. Get a claim blank from the express or truck company. Fill the claim form out. Attach the claim blank to the
original bill of lading together with a copy of our invoice. Attach a memo on which you show the value of the damaged goods. Mail
or hand these papers to your local transportation agent. They will process your claim with reasonable promptness.
Please note, we cannot and will not enter claims for damages. If we filed claim here, it would be sent to your local freight agent for
verification and investigation. This time can be saved by your filing the claim directly. Every consignee is on the ground floor and
in contact with the local agent who inspects the damaged goods, and thus, each claim can be given individual attention.
Since our goods are packed to comply with the regulations of all railroad, truck, and express companies, we cannot allow
deduction from any invoice because of any damage, however, be sure to file your claim promptly. Our goods are sold F.O.B.
factory. We take receipt from the transportation company certifying that the goods were delivered to them in good order, and our
responsibility ceases.
It is seldom that any breakage or damage occurs in any of our shipments, and in no case will the customer be out any expense if
they follow the above instructions.
Be sure to keep all damaged goods subject to examination of the truck or express company inspector, who may call on you some
time later. These damaged goods, of course, will belong to them, and they will inform you what to do with them. If you dispose of
these damaged goods, your claim may not be paid.

2. Product Safety Precautions
• Contact of the guide bar nose with any object should be avoided
• Always operate the chain saw with both hands
• Do not operate a chain saw when you are fatigued
• Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain saw at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling point before starting the engine
• Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area and secure footing
• Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running
• Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain is not contacting anything
• Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, is improperly adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled. Be sure that
the saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture
• Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas
• Do not operate a chain saw unless you have been specifically trained to do so
• When transporting your chain saw, use the chain protection cover
• Reactive forces including kickback can be dagerous. Careless or improper use of any chain saw may cause serious or fatal
injury

3. Before Operating Saw
• This tool is powered by a high-performance air-cooled two-stroke engine. It runs on a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke engine
oil.
• The power unit should run a non ethanol 50:1 fuel mixture. Pre mixed TruFuel works great. If having to use ethanol fuel try
using a fuel additive like Stabi-Bil.
• 1.0 Us-gal. (3.7 l) 2.6 floz. (75 cm3)
• 2.5 Us-gal. (9.4 l) 6.4 floz. (189 cm3)
• 5.0 Us-gal. (18.9 l) 12.8 floz. (378 cm3)
• Fuel your chain saw in well ventilated areas or out doors. Always shut off the engine and allow it to cool before refueling. Select
bare ground for fueling andmove the chain saw at least 10 feet (3 m) from fueling spot before starting the engine
4. Operation
Place the chain saw on firm ground or other solid surface in an open area. Maintain a good balance and secure footing. Place your
right foot through the rear handle opening and firmly grasp the front handle with your left hand.
Be absolutely sure that guide bar and chain are clear of you or all other obstructions and objects, including the ground, because
when the engine starts in semi-throttle position, engine speed will be fast enough for the clutch to engage the sprocket and turn the
chainwhich may cause a kickback. Never attempt to start the saw when the guide bar isin a cut or kerf.
When you pull the starter grip, don’t wrap the starter rope around your hands. Do not allow the grip to snap back, but guide the
starter rope slowly back to permit the rope to rewind properly. Failure to follow this procedure may result in injury to hand or fingers
and may damage the starter mechanism.
Starting the Engine

VENTILATION SAW
5SV3 Saw User Guide Revised 11-2015
Always hold the saw firmly with both hands when the engine is running. Place your left hand on the tubular handle and your right
hand on grip and throttle lever. Left-handers should follow these instructions too.
Wrap your fingers tightly around the handles, keeping the handles cradled between your thumb and forefinger. With your hands in
this position, you can best oppose and absorb the push, pull and kickback forces of your saw without having it slip out of your grip.
Make sure your chain saw handle and grip are in good condition and free of moisture, pitch, oil or grease.
Always start a cut with the chain running at full speed..
Position the chain saw in such a way that your body is clear of the cutting attachment whenever the engine is running.
Don’t put pressure on the saw when reaching the end of a cut. The pressure may cause the bar and rotating chain to pop out of the
cut or kerf, go out of control and strike the operator or some other object. If the rotating chain strikes some other object a reactive
force may cause the chain to strike the operator.

5. Maintenance and Repair
Maintenance should only be performed by experienced and trained personnel.
Keep the chain, bar and sprocket clean and lubricated; replace worn sprockets or chains. Keep the chain sharp. You can spot a
dull chain when easy-to-cut wood becomes hard to cut and burn marks appear on the wood.
Keep the chain at proper tension. Tighten all nuts, bolts and screws except the carburetor adjustment screws after each use.
Keep spark plug and wire connection tight and clean.
Remove / Install Depth Gauges
Both Super Vac Full Guard & Quick Silver Guard can be removed with out needing any tools.
To Remove Depth Guard:
1. Loosten and unthread Knob A and remove. Pull out exterior portion of guard (may have to lift up slightly simultaneously)
2. Remove Pin B and lift up and remove interior portion of guard

When to Replace the Chain
The chain should be replaced when teeth become dull and no longer cuts with ease or 3 cutters in a row are missing or 5 with in the
loop are damaged. Run saw at full RPM for longer chain life and make sure to keep the chain tight to the bar for top performance.
When to Clean the Guard
The guard and saw should be cleaned after each use to ensure proper working condition in future uses. WD40 or Break-Free are
great lubricates for cleaning of the saw.
Checking and Tightening Tension
The tension of the chain is correct if the chain rests against the bottom side of the guide bar and can still be easily turned by hand.
While doing so the chain brake must be released. Check the chain tension frequently - new chains tend to get longer during use!
When checking the chain tension the engine must be switched off.
To Tighten, turn screw tensioning screw (see right) clock wise until chain rests against bottom edge.
