D. CHAIN 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

E. ENGINE FUEL 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 lubrica-

tion 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 over-

heat and freeze up.

• Mix the ,fuel thoroughly in a separate con-

tainer since gasoline and oil do not readily

combine,

2. DO NOT USE THEFOLLOWING IN FUEL

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 aserious fire hazard.

Avoid over filling the fuel tank. Al!ow 3/4

inch for expansion. Tighten Fuel Cap

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

fuel and fueling site before starting the

engine.

2. HOWTO FILL THE OIL TANK

a. Turn-saw on its side with oil cap up. Figure

14.

b. Loosen cap slowly; wait for pressure,in the

tank to be released before removing the

: cap.

c. Fill the oil tank,

d. Replace the oil cap securely,

BAR AND CHAIN OIL

• The guide bar and cutting chain require con-

stant 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.

eUse SEARS Bar and Chain Lubricant #36554

or clean SAE 3OW oil,

3. IMPORTANT POINTS

a. Fill the oil tank each time you refill the fuel

tank to ensure there will be sufficient oil for

the chain whenever you start and Fun the

saw.

C. 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 oc-

cur.

'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.

2. HOW YOU CAN REDUCE THE CHANCE

OF KICKBACK

a. Recognize that Kickback can happen, By

understanding and knowing about kick-

back, 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 aparticdlar log or

branch.

d. Keep your saw" chain sharp and properly

tensioned. Aloose or dull chain can in-

crease 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 aLo 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.

3. HOW YOU CAN MAINTAIN THE BEST

CONTROL

a. Keep a good firm grip on the saw._with both

hands. F!gure 22. A firm grip:';_-an he!p

neutralize kickback, tKeep the :_i_ige'r's of"

your qefthand-'encircling and your left

thumb under the: front handteb:ar. Keep

your right hand completely around the rear

handle. Keep your left arm straightwith the

elbow locked.

b. Position your left hand on .the front

handlebar so it is in a straight line,with your

right hand on the rear handle. Figure 22.

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 dif-

ficult to maintain control of the saw if you

cut above shoulder height. 11

USING THE POWER SHARP SYSTEM [MODEL .3536901

Model .353690 is equipped with aPower 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.

• 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.

......A: AUTOMATICSH ARPENING .............................

Replace the sharpening stone when a new

Power Sharp chain is installed. See instruc-

tions, 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 sharpen-

ing instructions on page 17.

ICAUTiON:IAIways wear gloves when handling

the chain. Thechaincan cut you even though

it is too dull to cut wood.

1. Stop the engine.

2. Place saw on a solid, flat surface; and ensure

that the chain will not contact any object.

3. Adjust the chain with proper tension. Refer to

Chain Tension, page 7.

4. Start engine and operate at ha!f throttle.

5. Press the Power Sharp Knob down until you

feel the sharpening stone lightly contacting

the chain. Figure 23.

6. Maintain constant, tight pressure on the

Power Sharp Knob while 'moving the knob

side to side for 5 seconds.

7. Release Power Sharp knob and stop engine.

8. Inspect chain cutters.

NOTE: A properly sharpened cutter will sflow

grinding marks across its entire width. Figure

your saw before,you begin a major sawing

operation. " ' . . .

a.,Accelerate-the .engine to fu!!: throttle just

before entering the cut.

b. Begin cutting with the bottom of the saw

frame against the log. Figure 29.

c. Keep the engine at full throttie:.the entire time

you are cutting. ......

d. Allow the chain to cut for you; eXerf only light

downward pressure, if you force the cut,

damage to the bar, chain, or engine can

result.

e. Release the trigger as soon as the cut is com-

pleted, allowing the engine to idle. If you run

the saw at full throttle without a cutting load,

unnecessary wear will occur to the chain, bar,

and engine.

f. Stop the engine before setting the saw down

after cutting. .13

Bn TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES

1. PLAN YOUR SAWING OPERATION CARE-

FULLY 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 aclear retreat path to the rear and

diagQnat_to the line of fall. Figure 30.

WARNING!

DO NOT CUT •

--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.

3. FELLING LARGE TREES--6" DIAMETER

OR MORE

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.

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.

c. Leave enough uncut wood between the fell-

.!rig cut and the n0tch•.to _form a hinge.

Figure 32. •....

NOTE: The hinge helPS to keep the tree

from twisting and falling in the wrong direc-

tion.

d. Use awedge if there is any chance that the

tree will not fall in the desired direction.

2. FELLING SMALL TREES--LESS THAN 6"

DIAMETER

.a. If you know the direction of fall:

1.) Make a single felling cut on the side

away from the direction of fall.

2.) Cut all the way through.

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.

C. 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 con-

tmL

WARNING!

Never>turn the saw upside down to undercut.

The sawcannot be controlled in this position.

• M_ke'-the first bucking cut-1/3 of the way "_'

_through the log and finish with a 2/3 cut on

the opposite side. As the log is being cut, it

:witl tend to bend. The saw can become pinch-

ed or hung inthe log if you make the first cut

deeper.

WARNING!

if saw becomes pinched or hung in a log, don't

try to force it out. You could lose control of the

saw resulting in serious personal injury and/or

damage to the saw. Stop the saw and drive a

wedge into the cut until saw can be removed

easily. Be;careful not to damage the chain with

the wedge. Figure 34.

D. DEBRANCHING AND PRUNING

•Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw

with a firm gdp. Maintain secure footing and

balance.

• Watch out for spdngpoles, Use extreme cau-

tion when cutting small size limbs. Slender

material may catch the saw chain and be

whipped toward you or pull off balance.

• 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 tof the way to avoid tripping over

tl_em.

WARNING!

Never climb into a tree to debranch or prune. Do

not stand on ladders, platforms, or in any posi-

tion which might cause you to loose control of

the saw.

1. DEBRANCHING

a. Limit debranching to limbs shoulder height

or below. Always debranch a tree after it is

cut down, Only then can debranching be

done safely and properly.

b. Leave the larger lower limbs to support the

tree as you work.

c. Start at the base of the felled tree and work

towards the top cutting branches and

limbs. Remove small limbs with one cut;

_'d. Keep the_tree between-you and'th_ Chain.

Cut •from the side of the tree opposite the

branch you are cutting.

e. Remove larger, _upporting branches with

the 1/3, 2/3 cuttihg technique described in

the bucking section.

1.) Start with an overcut

2.) Finish with an undercut

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 per-

sonal injury.

USE COMMON SENSE KEEP THE TREE BETWEEN

YOU AND THE SAW

2. PRUNING

a. Limit pruning to limbs shoulder height or

below. Do not cut if branches are higher

than your shoulder. Get aprofessional to

do the job.

b. Refer to Figure 38 for the pruning techni-

que.

1.) Undercut 1/3 of the waY through the

.limb nearthe trunk of the.tree.

•2.)Finish with an overcut farther out f_om,

the trunk,

3.) Keep out of the way of the falling limb.

4.) Cut the stump flush near the trunk of

the tree.
