tendedfor two-handeduse.
• Operatethe chain saw only in awell-
ventilated outdoor area.
Do not operate saw from a ladder or
in a tree, unless you are specifically
trained to do so.
Make 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.
Do not put pressure on the saw, es-
pecially at 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. Carry with muffler away from
body; guide bar & chain projecting be-
hind you; guide bar preferably cov-
ered with a scabbard.
MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER
Have all chain saw service performed
by a qualified service dealer except
the items listed inthe maintenance
section of this manual.
Make certain the saw chain stops
moving when the throttle trigger is re-
leased. For correction, refer to "Car-
buretor Adjustments."
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free
from oil or fuel mixture.
Keep caps and fasteners securely
tightened.
Use only Craftsman accessodas and
replacement parts as recommended.
Never modify your saw.
HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION
Do not smoke while handling fuel or
while operating the saw.
Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame
in areas where fuel is mixed or poured.
Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area
and use an approved, marked con-
tainer for all fuel purposes. Wipe up
all fuel spills before starting saw.
Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) from
fueling site before starting.
Turn the engine off and let saw cool in
a non-combustible area, not on dry
leaves, straw, paper, etc. Slowly re-
move fuel cap and refuel unit.
Store the unit and fuel in a cool, dry
well ventilated space where fuel va-
pors cannot reach sparks or open
flames from water heaters, electric
motors or switches, furnaces, etc.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK
Follow all safety rules to help avoid
kickback and other forces which can
result in sedous injury.
'_ _ Kickback Path
Avoid Obstructions
ClearThe Working Area
WARNING: Rotational Kickback can
occur when the moving chain contacts
an object at the upper portion of the tip
of the guide bar. Contact at the upper
portion of the tip of the guide bar 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
toward the operator.
Pinch-Kickback and Pull-in occur when
the chain is suddenly stopped by being
pinched, caught, or by contacting a for-
eign object in the wood. This sudden
stopping of the chain results in arever-
sal of the chain force used to cut wood
and causes the saw to move in the op-
posite direction of the chain rotation.
Pinch-Kickback drives the saw straight
back toward the operator. Pull-In pulls
the saw away from the operator.
REDUCE THE CHANCE OF
KICKBACK
Recognize that kickbackcan happen.
With a basic understandingof Idckback,
you can reducethe element of surpdse
which contributesto accidents.
Never !at the moving chain contact
_any at the ofthe guide bar.
object Up
Keep 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 hRwhile cutting.
Kee? saw chain sharp and properly
tanmoned. A loose or dull chain can
3
increasethe chanceof kickback.Fol-
lowmanufacturer'schainsharpening
and maintenance instructions. Check
tension at regular intervals, but never
with engine running. Make sure bar
clamp nuts are securely tightened.
Begin and continue cutting at full
speed. If the chain is moving at a
slower speed, there is greater chance
of kickback occurring.
Use extreme caution when reentering
a cut.
Do not attempt cuts starting with the
tip of the bar(plunge cuts).
Watch for shifting logs or other forces
that could close a cut and pinch or fall
into chain.
Use the specified Reduced-Kickback
Guide Bar and Low-Kickback Chain,
Avoid Pinch-Kickback:
Be extremely aware of situations or
obstructions that can cause material
to pinch the top of or otherwise stop
the chain.
Do not cut more than one log at a
time.
Do not twist saw as bar is withdrawn
from an undercut when bucking.
Avoid Pull-in:
Always begin cutting with the engine
at full speed and the saw housing
against wood.
Use wedges made of plastic or wood.
Never use metal to hold the cut open.
MAINTAIN CONTROL
Stand to the left of the saw
Thumbon
underside_
of handleba= \!
keep your body from being in a direct
line with the cutting chain.
Stand with your weight evenly bal-
anced on both feet.
Do not overreach. You could be drawn
or thrown off balance and lose control.
Do not cut above shoulder height. It is
difficult to maintain control of saw
above shoulder height,
KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES
WARNING: The following features are
included on your saw to help reduce
hazard of kickback; however, such fea-
tures will not totally eliminate this dan-
ger. Do not rely only on safety devices.
Handguard: designed to reduce the
chance of your left hand contacting
the chain if your hand slips off the
front handlebar.
Position of front and rear handlebars:
designed with distance between han-
dles 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 resis-
tance in controllingthe pivot of the
saw back toward the operator if kick-
back occurs.
Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar: de-
signed with a small radius tip which
reduces the size of the kickback dan-
ger zone. This type bar has been
demonstrated to significantly reduce
the number and seriousness of kick-
backs when tested in accordance with
ANSI B175.1.

muffler and spark arresting screen
which meets the requirements of
California Codes 4442 and 4443. All
U.S. forest land and the states of
California, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota,
New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington
require by law that many internal
combustion engines be equipped with a
spark arrestor screen. If you operate a
chain saw in a state or locale where
such regulations exist, you are legally
responsible for maintaining the
operating condition of these parts.
Failure to do so is a violation of the law.
Refer to Customer Responsibilities
chart in the k_AtWi'ENANCEsection.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel
handling in._.rmation in the safety rules
section of th,s manual before you begln.
If you do not understand the fuel han-
dling information do not attempt to fuel
your unit. Seek help from someone that
does understand the information or call
the customer assistance help line at
1-800-235-5878.
GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL
The chain oiler provides continuous lu-
brication to the chain and guide bar. Be
sure to fill the bar oil tank when you fill
the fuel tank (Capacity = 6.8 ft. oz.).
For maximum guide bar and chain life,
we recommend you use Craftsman
chain saw bar oil. if Craftsman bar oil is
not available, you may use a good
grade SAlE30 oil until you are able to
obtain Craftsman brand. The oil output
is automatically metered during opera-
tion. Your saw will use approximately
one tank of bar oil for every tank of fuel
mix. Always fill the bar oil tank when
you fill the fuel tank.
FUELING ENGINE
This engine is certified to 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
gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1 (A
40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2
ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded
gasoline). DO NOT USE automotive oil
or boat oil. These oils will cause engine
damage. When mixing fuel follow the
instructions printed on the container.
Once oil is added to the gasoline,
shake container momentarily to assure
that the fuel is thoroughly mixed.
Always read and follow the safety rules
relating to fuel before fueling your unit.
IMPORTANT
Experience indicatesthat alcohol blended
fuels (calledgasohol or usingethanol or
methanol) can at_act moisturewhich
leads to separationand formationof
acidsdudng storage. Acidicgas can
damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine problems,the fuel sys-
tem shouldbe emptied before storagefor
30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank,
startthe engine and let it run untilthe fuel
linesand carburetorare empty. Use fresh
fuel next season. See STORAGEinstruc-
tions for additional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
See the STORAGE section for additional
information.

OPERATING TIPS
Check chain tension before first use
and after I minute of operation. See
Chain Tension in the Maintenance
section.
Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plas-
tics, masonry, non-wood building ma-
terials, etc.
Stop the saw if the chain strikes a for-
eign object. Inspect the saw and re-
pair parts as necessary.
Keep the chain out of dirt and sand.
Even a small amount of dirt will quick-
ly dull a chain and increase the possi-
bility of kickback.
Practice cutting a few small logs using
the following steps. This will help you
get the =feel" of using your saw before
you begin a major sawing operation.
Squeeze the throttle trigger and al-
low the engine to reach full speed
before cutting.
Begin cutting with the saw frame
against the log.
Keep the engine at full speed the
entire time you are cuffing.
Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert
only light downward pressure.
Release 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,
unnecessary wear can occur.
To avoid losing control when cut is
complete, do not put pressure on
saw at end of cut.
Stop engine before settingsaw down.
TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES
WARNING: Check for broken or dead
branches which can fall while cutting
causing serious injury. Do not cut near
buildingsor electrical wires if you do not
know the direction of tree fall, nor cut at
nightsince you will not be able to see
well, nor during bad weather such as
rain, snow, or strong winds, etc.
Carefully plan your sawing operation
in advance.
Clear the work area. You need a clear
area all around the tree so you can
have secure footing.
Study the natural conditions that can
cause the tree to fall in a particular
direction. These conditions include:
The wind direction and speed.
The lean of the tree. The lean of a
tree might not be apparent due to
uneven or sloping terrain. Use a
8
plumbor levelto determinethe di-
rectionoftree lean.
Weight and branches on one side.
Surrounding 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. Engine 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.
Plan a clearretreatpath
;_.... L ._--'m'_ - Direction of Fall
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
afelling cut is made on theopposite
side oftree, the tree will tend to fall in
the direction of the notch.
NOTE: If tree has large buttress roots,
remove them before making the notch.
NOTCH CUT AND FELLING TREE
Make notch cut by cuffing the top of
the notch first. CUtthrough 1/3 of the
diameter of the tree. Next complete
the notch by cutting the bottom. See
illustration. Once the notch is cut, re-
move the wedge of wood from tree.
Finalcuthere
Firstcut
Hinge
After removing the wood, make the
falling cut on the opposite side of the
notch. This is done by making a cut
about two inches higher than the cen-
ter of the notch. This will leave
enough uncut wood between the felt-
ing cut and the notch to form a hinge.
This hinge will help prevent the tree
from falling in the wrong direction.
Hinge holds tree on
stump and helps
control fail
Opening of
felling cut
NOTE: Before felling cut is complete,
use wedges to open the cut when
necessar,/to controlthe direction of fall.
To avoidklckback and chain damage,
use wood or plastic wedges, but never
steel or iron wedges.
Be alert to signs that the tree is ready
to fall: cracking sounds, widening of
the felling cut, or movement in the up-
per branches.
As tree starts to fall, stop saw, put it
down, and get away quickly on your
planned retreat path.
Be extremely cautious with partially
fallen trees that may be poody sup-
ported. 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. Do not
use your sawto cut down a partially
fallen tree.
CUTTING A FALLEN TREE
(BUCKING)
Bucking is the term used for cutting a
fallen tree to the desired log size.
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
Cut only one log at a time.
Cut shattered wood very carefully;
sharp pieces of wood could be flung
toward operator.
Use a sawhorse to cut small logs.
Never allow another person to hold
the log while cutting and never hold
the logwith your leg or foot.
Do not cut in an area where logs,
limbs,and roots are tangled. Drag logs
into a clear area before cuttingthem.
BUCKING TECHNIQUES
WARNING: If saw becomes pinched
or hung in a log, don_ttry to force it out.
You can lose control of the saw result-
ing in injury and/or damage to the saw.
Stop the saw, drive a wedge of plastic
9
orwoodintothe cutuntilthe saw can be
removed easily. Restartsaw and carefully
reenter the cut. Do not use a metal
wedge. Do not attemptto restartyour
saw when it is pinchedor hung in a log.
Use a wedge to remove pinched saw
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 bottom of the saw
against the log. When overcuffing use
light downward pressure.
Overcutting Undercutting
Undercutting involves cutting on the
underside of the log with top of saw
against the log. When undercutting use
light upward pressure. 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
controlled in this position.

LIMBING AND PRUNING
WARNING: Never climb into a tree to
limb or prune, Do not stand on ladders,
platforms, a log, or in any position
which can cause you to lose your bal-
ance or control of the saw.
IMPORTANT POINTS
Watch out for springpoles.
Springpoles are small size limbs
which can whip toward you, or pull
you off balance, Use extreme caution
when cuffing small size limbs.
Be alert for springback, Watch out for
branches that are bent or under pres-
sure. Avoid being struck by the
branch or the saw when the tension in
the wood fibers is released.
Frequently clear branches out of the
way to avoid tripping over them.
10
LIMBING
Limb a tree only after it is cut down.
Leave the larger limbs underneath the
felled tree to support the tree as you
work.
Start at the base of the felled tree and
work toward the top, cutting branches
and limbs. Remove small limbs with
one cut.
Keep the tree between you and the
chain.
Remove larger, supporting branches
with the 1/3, 2/3 cutting techniques de-
scribed in the bucking section.
Always use an overcut to cut small
and freely hanging limbs. Undercut-
ting could cause limbs to fall and
pinch the saw.
PRUNING
WARNING: Limit pruning to limbs
shoulder height or below. Do not cut if
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
branches are higher than your shoul-
der. Get a professional to do the job.
Make your first cut 1/3 of the way
through the bottom of the limb.
Next make a second cut all the way
through the limb.
Finish the pruning operation by using
an overcut so that the stump of the
limb protrudes 1 to 2 inches from the
trunk of the tree.

ed in this manual. Various adjustments
will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your unit.
Once a year, replace the spark plug,
air filter element, and check guide bar
and chain for wear. A new spark plug
and air filter element assures proper
air-fuel mixture and helps your engine
run better and last longer.
WARNING: Disconnect the spark plug
before performing maintenance except
for carburetor adjustments.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR
WORN PARTS
Replacement of damaged/_wom parts
should be referred to your Sears Ser-
vice Center.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount
of oil to appear under the saw after en-
gine stops. Do not confuse this with a
leaking oil tank.
On/Stop Switch -Ensure On/Stop
switch functions properly by moving
the switch to the =Stop" position.
Make sure engine stops; then restart
engine and continue.
Fuel Tank - Do not use saw if fuel
tank shows signs of damage or leaks.

loosen chain by tuming the adjusting
screw. Retighten bar clamp nuts.
If chain is too loose, it will sag below
the guide bar. DO NOT operate the
saw if the chain is loose.
CHECK CHAIN SHARPNESS
A sharp chain makes wood chips. A
dull chain makes a sawdust powder
and cuts slowly,
CHAIN SHARPENING
Chain sharpening requires special
tools. You can purchase sharpening
tools at Sears or go to a professional
chain sharpener.
CHECK GUIDE BAR
Conditions which require guide bar
maintenance:
Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.
Saw has to be forced through the cut.
Inadequate supply of oil to bar/chain.
Check the condition of guide bar each
time chain is sharpened. A worn guide
bar will damage the chain and make
cutting difficult. To maintain guide bar:
Move On/Stop switch to =Stop.n
Remove bar and chain from saw.
Clean all sawdust and any other
debris from the guide bar groove and
sprocket hole after each use.

CLEAN AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter decreases the life and
performance of the engine and in-
creases fuel consumption and harmful
emissions. Always clean your air filter
after 15 tanks of fuel or 5 hours of op-
eration, whichever comes first. Clean
more frequently in dusty conditions. A
used air filter can never be completely
cleaned. It is advisable to replace your
air filter with a new one after every 50
hours of operation, or annually, which-
ever comes first. To clean filter:
Loosen 3 screws on cylinder cover.
Remove cylinder cover.
Remove air filter.
Clean the air filter using hot soapy
water. Rinse with clean cool water.
Air dry completely before reinstalling.
Lightly oil air filter before installing to
improve the efficiency of air filter. Use
2-cycle engine oil or motor oil (SAE
30). Squeeze excess oil from filter.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT
WARNING: The chain will be moving
during most of this procedure. Wear
your protective equipment and observe
all safety precautions. During the low
speed mixture adjustment recheck idle
speed after each turn of the screw. The
chain must not move at idle speed.
Carburetor adjustment is critical and if
done improperly can permanently dam-
age the engine as well as the carbure-
tor. If you require further assistance or
are unsure about performing this proce-
dure, call our customer assistance help
line at 1-800-235-5878.
Old fuel, a dirty air filter, dirty fuel filter,
or flooding may give the impression of
an improperly adjusted carburetor.
Check these conditions before adjust-
ing the carburetor.
The carburetor has been carefully set at
the factory. Adjustments may be neces-
sary if you notice any of the following
conditions:
Chain moves at idle. See Uldle Speed"
under adjusting procedure.
Saw will not idle. See "Idle Speed"
and "Low Speed Mixture"under ad-
justing procedure.
Engine dies or hesitates when it
should accelerate. See =Acceleration
Check" under adjusting procedure.
Loss of cutting power. See =High
Speed Mixture H" under adjusting
procedure.
There are three adjustment screws on
the carburetor. They are labeled H, L,
and T. They are located in the area just
above the primer bulb.
CARBURETOR PRESETS
When making adjustments, do not force
the plastic limiter caps beyond the
stops or damage will occur.
If carburetor presets are not needed,
proceed to =Idle Speed-T."
Turn both mixture screws counter-
clockwise until they stop.
•Tum the idle speed screw clockwise
until it stops. Now turn counterclock-
wise 4-1/2 full turns.
Start motor, let it run for 3 minutes, and
proceed to the adjustment section. If
engine does not start, refer to trouble-
shooting chart or call 1-800-235-5878.
If engine performance is acceptable at
the preset positions and there is no
chain movement at idle, no further ad-
justment is necessary.
ADJUSTING PROCEDURE
Idle Speed-T
Allow engine to idle. Adjust speed until
engine runs without chain movement or
stalling.
Turn clockwise to increase engine
speed if engine stalls or dies.
Turn counterclockwise to decrease
speed.
No further adjustments are necessary if
chain does not move at idle speed and
if performance is satisfactory.
Low Speed Mixture-L
Allow engine to idle. Then accelerate
the engine and note performance. If en-
gine hesitates, bogs down, or smokes
during acceleration, turn mixture screw
clockwise in 1/16-turn increments until
performance is satisfactory. Repeat this
procedure as necessary for proper ad-
justment. After completing adjustments,
check for acceleration and chain move-
ment at idle. Reset if necessary.
High Speed Mixture-H
DO NOT operate engine at full throttle
for prolonged periods while making ad-
justments. Damage to the engine can
occur. Make a test cut. Based on per-
formance of the saw while cutting, ad-
just the high speed mixture setting in
1/16-turn increments as follows:
Clockwiseuntilsaw has good power in
the cut with no hesitation.Do not adjust
by soundor speed, butjudge by how
well the saw performs in the cut.
Counterclockwise if the saw has
speed, butdies in the cut or lacks
power in the cut.
After completing adjustments, check for
acceleration and chain movement at
idle. Reset if necessary.
Acceleration Check
If the engine dies or hesitates insteadof
accelerating,turnthe low speed mixture
adjustmentcounterclockwiseuntilyou
have smoothaccelerationwith no chain
movement at idle. Recheck and adjust as
necessaryfor acceptable performance.
