STATE
AND LOCAL
REQUIREMENTS

ORDINANCE

_Your Saw has; been; furnished with an'approved
Spark AFestorScreen
which is required in some
areas bylaw. You are legally responsible for seeing that the Spark Arrestor is properly maintained in these areas. Failure to do so could subject you to liability or to a fine. See Spark Arrestor maintenance,
page 19.
Check with your state conservation or forestry
department about regulations concerning operating your saw on forest, brush, or grass covered
areas. All U.S. forest land and the states of
California, Maine, Washington and Oregon require many internal combustion engines to be
equipped with a temperature limiting muffler by
law. Such laws require fitting your saw with an
additional muffler heat shield.
A shield which meets these requirements can be
purchased at your Sears Service Center as an
optional
accessory
kit. Ask for Muffler Heat
Shield Kit, Repair Part No. 69037.

TENSION

• Chain tension is very important:.
--a loose chain wi!t wear the bar and itself.
--a loose chain can jump off the bar while
you are cutting.
--a tight chain can damage the saw and/or
break.
--a:chain,
either too loose or too tight, can
cause injury.
• Chain tension is correct when thechain:
:_can be lifted aboutll8'_ from the Guide Bar
at a point near the middle of_the bar, and
• _ --will move freely around the bar.
• The chain stretches during use, especially
::_;when new. Check tension:
,--Each:time
the: saw is used
_.'_:'i,i'_More frequentlyl when thechain is new
,,,,,

• The Bar Clamp Nut _must be slightly loose for
the chain to be propedy tensioned.
]CAUTION_Always wear gloves when handling
the chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you
even when it is not moving!

ENGINE

FUEL

Figure 12

MIXTURE

• Ydur chain saw is powered by a two-cycle
engine?-Which requires a fuel mixture of
regula_gasoline,
leaded or unleaded,'and a
high ,quality engine, oil- specially made- for
2-cycle,
air-cooled
engines. The internal
design of the 2-cycle engine requires lubrication of moving parts. Lubrication is provided
when you use the recommended
mixture of
gasoline and oil,
• Gasoline must be clean and not over two
months old. After a short period of time,
gasoline begins to chemically break down
and wil! form compounds that can cause hard
starting and damage in 2-cycle engines.
• The correct measure of gasoline to oil is very
importanL
--Too much oil in the mixture will foul the
spark plug.
--Too little oil will cause the engine to overheat and freeze up.
• Mix the ,fuel thoroughly in a separate container since gasoline and oil do not readily
combine,

POINTS

a. Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame in
the areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or
stored. There should be no smoking, open
flames or work_that could cause sparks.
b, Mix and store fuel in an approved, marked
container.
c. Mix and-pour fuel in a well.ventilated area.
Gasoline vapors are harmful to your health
and are a serious fire hazard.
.d. Avoid over filling the fuel tank. Al!ow 3/4

securely. Figure13.
e. Wipe up all fuel spills. Wipe off fuei spilled
on the saw before using_
f.. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from

engine.

BAR

AND

CHAIN

OIL

• The guide bar and cutting chain require constant lubrication
in order to remain in
operating condition, Lubrication is provided
by the automatic oiler system when the oil
tank is kept filled.
--Lack
of oil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain,
--Too little oil will cause overheating shown
,by smoke coming from the chain andJor
,discoloration
of the guide bar rails.
e Use SEARS Bar and Chain Lubricant #36554
or clean SAE 3OW oil,
• o' InTfreezing weather oil will thicken, making it
._°-_h_b_e:ssaryto thin barand
chain oil with a
small amount of Diesel Fuel #1 or Kerosene.
Bar and chain oit must be free flowing for the

CONTROLLING

KICKBACK

Kickback is a dangerous chain saw reaction that
can cause serious personal injury. Carefully
study this section before you make the first cut
with your new saw, You must understand what
causes kickback, how you can reduce the
chance of kickback, and how you can remain in
the best control of the saw if kickback does occur.

'1.:WHAT CAUSES KICKBACK
"V::_tKickback can happen when the moving chain
contacts an object at the tip of the guide bar.
• This contact causes the chain to dig.into the
_ _bject and stops the chain for an instant. The
result is a lightning fast, reverse reaction
which kicks the saw tip up and back at the
: operator. The operator can lose control of the
•saw and the cutting chain can cause serious
., ,,.injury if it contacts any part of the body.

THE

CHANCE

a. Recognize that Kickback can happen, By
understanding and knowing about kickback, you can help eliminate the element of
surprise.
b. Avoid letting the moving chain contact any
object at the tip of the guide bar, F!gure 20.
c. Keep the working area free from:obstruc.
tions such as branches, rocks;, fences,
stumps, etc, Figure 21. Eliminate,.or avoid
any obstruction that the chaHi,:could hit
while cutting through a particdlar log or
branch.
d. Keep your saw" chain sharp and properly
tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback. ::
e_Operate2the .engine at full thro_{le for all
......cuttirlg; If the Chain is moving _'÷a slower
speed during cutting,
there i_s;greater
chance for kickback to occur.
[ Use the Lo Kick Guide Bar and Guard Link
Chain designed {or your particular saw.
These devices
have been designed
to
reduce the posibility of kickback.
g. Use extra caution if your saw is equipped
with the Power Sharp System, The Power
Sharp saw is equipped
with a Lo Kick
Guide
Bar and a Guard
Link Chain.
However, due to the chain requirements of
the built in sharpening
mechanism,
kickback force from the Power Sharp chain
may be greater than that from otherGuard
Link chains.

Never reverse right and left hand positions
on the saw handles.
c. Stand with your weight evenly balanced on
both feet.
d. Stand slightly to the left side of the saw, to
keep your body from being in a direct line
with the cutting chain, Figure 22.
e. Do not over reach. You could be drawn off
balance and lose control of the saw.
f, Do not cut above shoulder height. It is difficult to maintain control of the saw if you
cut above shoulder height.

USING

THE

POWER

SHARP

SYSTEM

Model .353690 is equipped with a Power Sharp
System that will perform approximately
80% of
the sharpening necessary for the saw chain. The
Power Sharp System utilizes a built-in grinding
stone to sharpen the cutter top plates,and set
depth gauges. As the built-in sharpener is used,
the cutter side plates gradually will be altered,
About every 3rd to 5th time the Power Sharp
System is used, hand filing is required to correct
the c_btter side plates.

Replace the sharpening stone when a new
Power Sharp chain is installed. See instructions, page 13.
Remove the sharpening stone if a standard or
conventional chain is substituted for the
Power Sharp chain. See instructions for
removing the sharpening Stone and Carrier
Assembly, page 13. Use replacement chain
for Model 358..353670 (2_31t6")_ StoCk, No.
36-3629. Follow conventional chain sharpening instructions
on page 17.

• Sharpen the saw chain when:
--wood chips become small and powdery.
Wood chips made by the chain should be
about the size of the teeth of the chain.
--saw_e_uts to one side.
--saw has to be forced through the cut.

TREE

FELLING

TECHNIQUES

1. PLAN YOUR SAWING OPERATION CAREFULLY IN ADVANCE
a. Clear the work area. You need a clear area
all around the tree where you. can have
secure footing.
b. Study the natural conditions that
can
cause the tree to fall in a particular direc.
lion. The tree wilt be likely to fall:
1.) In the direction the WIND is blowing
2.) towards the direction of the• LEAN of
the tree
.3-) on the side that is the HEAVIEST with
branches.
coMake sure there is enough room for the
free to fall.
d. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
staples_ and wire from the tree where cuts
are to be made.
e.Plan

3. FELLING
LARGE
OR MORE

a. Make the notch cut. Figure 31.
1.) Cut the bottom of the notch first, about
1!3 of the diameter of the tree.
2.) Complete
the notch by making the
slant cut.
Remove the notch of wood.
b. Make the felling cut on the opposite side of
the notch about 2" higher than the bottom
of the notch.

a clear retreat path to the rear and

c. Leave enough uncut wood between the fell.!rig cut and the n0tch•.to _form a hinge.
Figure 32.
•
....

WARNING!
DO NOT CUT •

NOTE: The hinge helPS to keep the tree
from twisting and falling in the wrong direction.

--near electdcal wires or buildings.
--if you do not know the direction of tree fall.
--at night since you will not be able to see well.
--during bad weather--strong
wind, snow, rain,
etc.

d. Use a wedge if there is any chance that the
tree will not fall in the desired direction.
NOTE: Stop cutting before, the felling cut is
complete; use a wedge to open up the cut.

2. FELLING SMALL TREES--LESS
THAN 6"
DIAMETER
.a. If you know the direction of fall:

e. Be alert for.signs

1.) Make a single felling cut on the side
away from the direction of fall.
2.) Cut all the way through.

that the tree is ready to

1.) cracking sounds
2.) widening of the felling cut
3.) movement in the upper branches.

3_) Stop the saw, put it down, and get away
quickly on your planned retreat path.
b. If you are not sure which way the tree will
fall, use the notch method described for
felling .large trees.

,,,

DIAMETER

The notch method is used to cut 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 the tree, the tree
will tend to fall into the notch.

BUCKING
• Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen
tree to the desired log size.
• Two types of cutting are used (Figure 33):
nOvercutting
-- begin on the top side of the
log with the bottom of the saw against the
log; exert,light pressure downward.
--Undercutting-begin on the underside of
the log with the top of the saw against the
log; exert light pressure upward. During
undercutting, the saw will tend to push
.back at you. Be prepared for this reaction
and hold the saw firmly to maintain contmL

material may catch the saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull off balance.

WARNING!
BE ALERT FOR AND GUARD AGAINT KICK.
BACK. Do not allow the moving chain to contact
any other branches or objects at the nose of the
guide bar when debranching or pruning. Allow.
ing such contact could result in serious personal injury.

• Be alert for springback. Watch out for
branches that are bent or under pressure as
you_ are cutting to avoid being struck by the
branch or the saw when the tension in the
wood fibers is released.
• Keep a: clear work area. Frequently clear
branches ou t of the way to avoid tripping over
