•Do not put pressure on the saw, es-

peciallyat the end ofthe cut. Doing

so can cause you to lose control

when the cut is completed.

•Stop engine before setting saw down.

• Hand carry saw only when engine is

stopped. Cany with muffler away from

•Make certain the saw chain stops

movingwhen the throttle trigger is re-

leased. For correction,refer to "Car-

buretorAdjustments."

•Keep the handles dry, clean, and free

from oil or fuel mixture.

•Keep caps and fasteners securely

tightened.

GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL

The chain oiler provides continuouslu-

bricationto the chain and guide bar. Be

sure to fillthe bar o, tank when you ml

the fuel tank (Capacity = 6.8 fl. o.z.).

For maximum guide bar and chain life,

we recommendyou use Craftsman

chain saw bar oil. If Craftsman bar oil is

not available, you may use a good

grade SAE 30 oil untilyou are able to

obtain Craftsman brand.The oil output

is automatically metered during opera-

tion. Your saw will use approximately

one tank of bar oilfor every tank of fuel

mix. Always fillthe bar oil tank when

you fillthe fuel tank.

FUEUNG ENGINE

This engine is certifiedto operate on

unleaded gasoline. Before operation,

gasoline must be mixed with a good

quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil. We

recommend Craftsman brand oil. Mix

gasolineand oil at a ratioof 40:1 (A

40:1 ratiois obtained by mixing 3.2

ounces of oilwith I gallon of unleaded

gasoline). DONOT USEautomotive oil

or beat oil. These oils will cause engine

damage. When mixing fuel follow the

instructionspdnted on the container.

Once oil_sadded to the gasoline,

shake container momentarily to assure

that the fuel is thoroughly mixed.

. Always read and followthe safety rules

the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

Use fresh fuel next season. See STOR-

AGE instructionsfor additionalinforma-

tion.

pair parts as necessary.

•Keep the chain out of dirtand sand.

Allowthe chain to cut for you. Exert

onlylight downward pressure.

•Release the throttle trigger as soon

as the cut is completed, allowingthe

engine to Idle. If you runtha sew at

full throttle withouta cuttingload,

unnecassarywear can occur.

•To avoid losingcontrolwhen cut is

complete,do not putpressure on

• Stop the engine before settingthe

sew down.

TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES

WARNING: Check for broken or dead

brancheswhich can fall while cutting

causing seriousinjury.Do not cut near

buildingsor electricalwires if you do not

know the directionof tree fall, nor cut at

nightsince you will not be able to see

well, nor dudngbad weather such as

rain, snow, or strongwinds, etc.

Carefullyplan your sawing operationin

advance. Clear the work area. You

need a clear area all around the tree so

you can have secure footing. Studythe

natural cond'dionethat can cause the

tree to fall in a pedloular direction,such

conditions include:

•The wind directionand speed.

• The lean of the wee. The lean of a

tree might not be apl_. rant due to un-

even or sloping terrain. Use a plumb

or level to determine the direction of

tree lean.

"• Weight and branches on ane side.-

, Surroundingbees and obstacles.

Lookfor 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 feel.Maintain a distance of 2-112

tree lengthsfrom the nearest person or

other objects. Engine noise can drown

out a warning call.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,

staples, and wire from the tree where

cutsare to be made.

FELLING LARGE TREES

(6 inches in diameter or larger)

The notch method is used to fell large

trees. A notch is cut on the side of the

tree in the desired direction of fall. After

a felling cut is made on the opposite

side of tree, the tree shouldfall in the

directionof the notch.

NOTE: If the tree has large b.ut_.

roots,remove them before meedngthe

notch.

NOTCH _AND FELUNG TREE

• Make notch cut by cuttingthe top of

the notch first.Cut through 1_ of the

diameter of the tree. Next complete

the notch by cutting thebottom. See

illustration.Once the notch is cut re-

move the wedge of wood from the

tree.

• After removing the wood, make the

felling cut on the opposite side of the

notch.Thb. mdone by making a cut

about two inches higherthan the cen-

ter ofthe notch. This will leave

ing.cdtTar_lthe notch to form a hinge.

•Be alert of slgnsthat the bee is ready

to fall: crackingsounds,widening of

•As tree starts to fall, stop sew, put it

down, and get away quicklyon your

•Be extremelycautiouswith partially

fallen trees that may be poorlysup-
