rules for safe operation
1.

Never operate a chain saw when you are
fatigued.

Use safety footwear, snug-fitting clothing, and
eye, hearing and head protection devices.
Always use caution when handling fue!. Move
the chain sawat least 10 feet (3 m)from the
fueling point before Starting the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the
chain saw when starting or cutting with the
chain saw. Keep bystanders and animals out of
the work area.

7.
8.
9.

10.

11.
12.

Neverstart cutting until you have a clear work
area,:, secure footing, and a planned _retreat
path from the.failing tree,
Always hold the chain saw firmly with both
hands when the engine is running. Use a firm
grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the
chain saw handles.
Keepall partsofyour body away from the saw
chain when the engine is running.
Before you start the engine, make sure the
saw chain is not contacting anything.
Always carry the chain saw with the engine
stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the
rear, and the muffler away from your body.
Never operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or is not completely and
and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw
chain stops moving when the throttle control
trigger is released.
Always shut off the engine before setting it
down.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size
brush and saplings because slender material

13.

may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be
alert for spring back so that you will not be
struck when the tension in the wood fibers
is released.

14.

Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or
fuel mixture.

15.

Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated
areas.

16.

Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
specifically trained to do so.
All chain saw service, other than the items
listed in the Owner's Manual maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent
chain saw service personnel. (e.g., if improper
tools are used to remove the flywheel, or if an
improper tool is used to hold the flywheel in
order to remove the clutch, structural damage
to the flywheel could occur which could subsequently cause the flywheel to burst.)
Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the guide bar which occurs
when the saw chain at the nose of the guide bar
contacts an object. Kickback
can lead to
dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.

17.

18.

TO AVOID KICKBACK:
Hold the chain saw firmly with both hands.
Don't over reach. Don't let the nose of the
guide bar contact a log, branch, ground or
any other obstruction, Cut at high engine
speeds. Don't cut above shoulder height.
Follow
manufacturer's sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

Hold about 8" of chain between your hands, with

sharp edge of cutters facing your right hand. Form an arc
with the chain and place it (cutters first) over the top of
clutch drum. Once the chain is over the clutch drum, turn
the chain so the drive link tangs engage the sprocket
teeth. Figure 2. On Model 358-350870 (Craftsman 2.1

Be careful, the chain teeth are sharp] Continue to hold
the nose of the bar up and tighten the bar clamp screw
with the wrench provided. Now pull the chain along the
bar to be sure you have the right tension. If the chain is
too tight, toosen the bar clamp screw slightly, turn the
adjusting screw counterclockwise a little and lift up on
the chain. Then tighten bar clamp screw. Recheck chain
tension. Lift the chain off of the middle of the length of
the bar. if it is loose enough for the tangs to come out of
the bar groove, the chain is too loose. You should only be
able to lift the chain 1/8"" from bar. Whenever using a new
chain, check chain tension often, as new chain stretches.
After the chain has been used for awhile, it is a good practice to check chain tension every time the gas tank is
filled. Proper chain tension is very important to help insure maximum performance from your chain saw.

filling the fuel and oil tanks if either has been spilled. Under
normal cutting conditions, push the oil button once every
10 seconds. Under heavy, or dirty cutting conditions, push
the oil button once every 5 seconds. This will prevent the

AIR Fi LTER AND CARBURETOR
To clean the air filter or adjust the carburetor, loosen the
filter cover screw (ahead of choke knob) and remove it
and the air filter cover. The air filter element should be
removed after evew 10 hours use and rinsed out in gasoline or fue! and oil mix. Squeeze it out well and be sure
the filter element fits into the cavity neatly without folds,
and flush with the top surface. See figure 6. Allow filter
element to dry before restarting engine or mixture will be
too rich;

CARBURETOR

ADJUSTMENTS

General:
Carburetor adjustments are made at our factory and wil|
be correct for most app ications. Further adjustments may
be required due to altitudes above 4000 ft., brands!age of
fuel used, and atmospheric conditions.
Caution:
The needles and associated parts will be damaged if Overtightened.
Adjustments:
Step 1. (Refer to Figure 7) -- Remove carburetor cover,
Turn high speed and low speed needles clockwise until
they stop, Remember! Don't Over-Tighten.

Fig. 6

Step 2. Turn high and low speed needles counterclockwise one full turn.
Step 3. Start engine in the same manner as described on
page 3 under "Starting and Stopping". The chain saw
engine should be run four or five minutes to bring it to
operating temperature.
Step 4. (Low Speed Needle Adjustmeht) " Squeeze the
throttle trigger and hold it in for five or six seconds. This
should clear the combustion chamber of built up fuels.
StepS. Squeeze throttle trigger .quickly. The engine
should accelerate smoothly. If it does not, turn low speed
needle counterclockwise 1/16 of a turn and squeeze
throttle quickly again. Continue turning tow speed screw
1/16 of a turn at a time until smooth acceleration is accomplished.
Step6. (High Speed Needle Adjustment) -Squeeze
throttle trigger all the way in. Test cut a piece of wood.
Step 7. If engine speed begins to fade, turn high speed
needle counterclockwise 1/16 of aturn and make anoth'er
test cut. Continue this until fading is corrected.

Step 8. If there is an excessive amount of smoke in the
exhaust, turn high speed needle 1/16 of a turn clockwise
until excessive smoke is reduced. .........
Step 9. (Idle Speed Adjustment) -- Turn the idle speed
screw (Figure 7) clockwise until the chain beginsto move.
Now slowly turn idle speed screw counterclockwise until
chain stops moving.
PLEASE NOTE: Observe "Rules For Safe Operation"
when adjusting carburetor.
TO adiust the high speed needle, first make a test cut with
the saw; If the engine power seems to fade in the cut, the
mixture is set too lean. Remove the saw from the cut. The"
high needle should be tu rned counterclockwise slightly. If
there seems to !_e an excessive amount of smoke in the
exhaust,
the mixture is set too rich. Remove the saw from
the cut. The high speed needle should be turned clockwise
slightly. After each adjustment make a testcut to check
performance.

When finally adjusted, the high speed needle will usually
be 7/8 to 1-1/8 turns open (counterclockwise). Try to
keep sawdust away from the carburetor when the filter
cover is removed. Be sure to hold the saw firmly with
both hands while cutting. Before replacing the air filter
cover, be sure to clean off the mating surfaces of cover
and carburetor box. See figure 8.

Turn choke knob to the right (counterclockwise) and
close choke lever over carburetor so that the finger on
the choke lever (cover underside) lines up with the slot

If the spark plug is not clean and properly gapped,
the engine will be hard to start and will not deliver
the best performance. The spark plug should be
cleaned and gapped every 25 hours. Remove the
rubber connector on the spark plug and remove
the spark plug. Use a wire brush or a pocket knife
to clean deposits from the electrodes of the

1/4" PITCH TYPE 89
(For use on chain saws with power sharp systems)

This chain was so designed that approx. 80% of the needed sharpening is accomplished by your saw's built-in-sharpener. While the
chain is being sharpened by the built-in-sharpener, the cutting edges of the cutters are gradually being altered. 89 series chain is
designed and engineered to efficiently cut wood. If rocks, nails, or other foreign materials are cut, more frequent sharpenings will be
required.

Just before the 5th or 6th Power Sharp sharpening, the side

quickly with a Sears file and guide No. 32-36516.

• Fig. 2!
In abnormal use, in sand, rocks and abrasive materials,
side plates should be checked more often. Damage to the
cutters caused by abrasive materials usually results in

INSTRUCTIONS

Model 3581350842 (Craftsman 2.1)
Your wood cutting chores will be a lot easier if the chain
is always properly sharpened and tensioned. If you notice
cutting becoming difficult and you have to push on the
.saw to make'it cut and you notice the chain "walking"

sideways in the cut, this is a good indication that the
chain is dull and needs sharpening. Keep in mind that if
you let the chain cut in the dirt you will dull it at once,
Stop the engine and sharpen the chain. Cutting with a dull
chain puts an excessive load on both the bar and chain
and witl greatly shorten their life. if you have never pur.chased a bar and chain, you wilt be surprised how costly
they are.
To properly sharpen your chain,you will need a file holder,
the correct size file (5/32" dia.), and .025 ,Depth Gauge
jointer. (See page 29). Be careful when handling saw
chain. Remember that even though the cutters are too
dull to cut wood, they'!! still cut fingers.

1.
If possible, remove the chain from the saw and put
it in a saw filing vise. If you do not have a filing vise,
....i-increase the chain tension on the bar and sharpen the
::,:chain while it is on the bar.

Fig. 26

2.
There are three angles that must be maintained for a
properly sharpened chain. See Figure 26. All three of
these angles can be maintained accurately by Using.a file
iholder and file,
• :-_-3.

Place the file holder soit rides on both cutter top

i plate and: depth gauge {Fig, 26)with guide marks in fine
with the bar. File the cutters on the side of the chain

away from the Cutting edge. Apply Pressure:on the forward stroke on!y. See Figure 26.
....
4. _ Hold file:hepdte down 10degrees as you :make a few
firm strokes away from your self, appty_ing pressure
against the cutting edge. Apply pressure on the forward
stroke only. See Figure 26.
5.
Sharpen all cutterson one side of chain, then work
from other side of chain and repeat sharpening procedure
for opposite side cutters. Be sure to file all cutters uniformly.

Fig. 27

6.
To set all depth gauges at the same level, place the
Depd_ Gauge jointer, Part No. 55005, over each depth
gauge and file the depth gauge with a fiat file until it is
level with the jointer, then round off the leading edge of
each depth gauge. See Figure 27. File the depth gauges
after each four to five times the chain is filed, it is not
necessary to file depth gaugesafter every chain sharpening. When sharpening the chain, also check the bar to see

if there are any burrs on the rails of the bar, especially
around the nose. File away the burrs with a flat file. Be
sure to clean off filings.
7.
After sharpening all teeth and setting all depth
gauges,clean off the chain and re-set chain tension. Tighten
chain tension until all tie straps(see no. 1, fig. 28) rest on
