MSXTURE

e Your chain saw is powered by a two-cycle
engine which requires a fuel mixture of
regular gasoline 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 part&
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 will form compounds that can cause hard
starting and damage in 2-cycle engines°
The correct measure of gasoline to oil is very
important.
--Too much oil in the mixture wilt foul the
spark plug.
--Too littte oil will cause the engine to overheat resulting in damage.

RAR AND CHAIIN OliL
e The guide bar and cutting chain require continuous lubrication in order to remain in
operation 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 and/or
discoloration
of the guide bar rails

1. USE THE

FOLLOWING:

30°F or above -- Lubricant
30OF . 0OF _

95% lubricant to 5% Diesel
Fuel #1 or Kerosene,

Below O°F --

90% lubricant to 10%
Diesel Fuel #I or Kerosene

2, HOW TO FILL THE
O

Use SEARS Bar and Chain Lubricant #36554
or clean SAE 30W oil.
In freezing weather oil will thicken, making it
necessary to thin bar and chain oil with a
small amount of Diesel Fuel #1 or Kerosene.
Bar and chain oil must be free flowing for the
oil system to pump enough oiI for adequate

-- undiluted,

OIL TANK

a. Stop the engine.
bl Turn saw on its side with oil cap up Figure
t2
CoLoosen cap slowly and wait for pressure in
the tank to be released before removing the
cap.
d. Fill the oil tank°
Replace the oil cap securely,
3, IMPORTANT

POINTS

REMEMBER

Fill the oil tank each time you refill the fuel
tank to ensure there wil! be sufficient oil for
the chain whenever you start and run the
saw,,

Figure 12

The saw will use about t/2 tank of chain oil
for each tank of fuel mixture. If less oil is
used, check for a plugged oil hole in the
guide bar,
It is normal for a small amount of oil to appear under the saw after the engine stops.
This is due to oil draining from the bar and
chain when not in use

CONTROU- NG

KmCKBACK

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

WHAT CAUSES KICKBACK
Kickback can happen when the moving chain
contacts an object at the tip of the guide bar
while the saw is being operated This contact
causes the chain to dig into the object 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,
HOW YOU CAN
OF KICKBACK

REDUCE

THE

CHANCE

a. Recognize that Kickback can happen. By
understanding
and knowing
about kickback, you eliminate
the element of surprise.
b. Avoid Setting the moving chain at the tip of
the guide bar contact any object. Figure 15
c_ Keep the working area free from obstructions such as other trees, branches, rocks,
fences, stumps, etc. Figure 16 Eliminate or
avoid any obstruction
that your saw chain
could hit white you are cutting through a
particular log or branch
do Keep your saw chain sharp and properly
tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback
KICKBACK

PATH

e Operate the engine at full throttle foi" all
cutting. If the chain is moving at a slower
speed, there is greater chance for kickback
to occur.
f Use the Lo Kick Guide Bar and Guard Link
Chain designed for your particular
saw.
These devices
have been designed
to
reduce the possibility
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,
the
kickback force from the Power Sharp chain
may be greater than that from other Guard
Link chains.
&HOW
YOU
CONTROL

CAN

MAINTAIN

THE

BEST

a, Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both
hands. Figure17 A firm grip can neutralize
kickback and help you maintain control of
the saw, Keep the fingers of your left hand
encircling
and your left thumb under the
front handlebar, Keep your right hand completely around the rear handle Keep your
left arm straight with 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 18
Never reverse right and left hand positions
on the saw handles..
c° Stand with your weight evenly balanced on
both feet.
dr Stand slightly to the left side of the saw, to
keep your body from being in a direct line
with the cutting chain. Figure 17
e Do not overreach, You could be drawn or
thrown off balance and lose control of the
saw..
f, Do not cut above shoulder height, it is too
difficult to maintain control of the saw if
you try to cut above shoulder height,

USING

THE POWER

SHARP

Model 354870 is equipped with a Power Sharp
System that will perform approximately
80% of
the sharpening necessary for the saw chain.. The
Power Sharp System uses 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 alteredr
Hand filing is required to correct the cutter side
plates
e 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 cuts to one side.
--saw has to be forced through the cut.
ICAUTION:I ALways wear gloves when handling
the chain. The chain can be sharp enough to cut
you, even when it is too dull to cut wood.

AUTOMATIC

SYSTEM

(iVIODEL.354870)

® Always replace the sharpening stone when
--sparks are no longer seen at lull adjustment
--only 1/4 inch of stone is remaining
--stone has become cracked or damaged.
w a new chain is installed. The used stone
will be worn to the shape of the old chain
and can cause excessive wear to a new
chain. Replacement chain comes supplied
with Stone Cartridge Replacement #69099.
Refer to replacement instructions
on page
12..

® Always remove the sharpening stone if a conventional chain is substituted for the Power
Sharp Chain, See instructions
for removing
the Stone Cartridge on page 12. Use replacement chain #32-3638 Follow chain sharpening instructions
on page 16..

SHARPEHIN@

1, Stop the engine.
2. Place the saw on a solid, flat surface and
make sure that the chain wilt not contact
any object..
3. Adjust the chain with correct tension
Refer
to Chain Tension, page 7.
IMPORTANT: The chain must be tensioned
correctly for proper sharpening to occur.
4.. Start the engine and operate at half to three/
quarters throttle during steps "5", "6", "7",
and "8".
NOTE: Saw must be running at half to three/
quarters throttle before knob is pressedr
5 Push the Power Sharp Knob down slowly until fully pressed down. Figure 19
NOTE: if stone should contact chain before
knob is fully pressed down, release knob
and turn knob counterclockwise
until condition does not exist. Repeat Step "5" again..
6. Turn knob slowly clockwise until sparks can
be seen as shown in Figure 19

NOTE: Proper sharpening occurs when a light
flow of sparks is seen. Improper sharpening is
shown by a heavy fiowof sparks or no sparks.
7 Release knob and turn one additional
clockwise,

"click"

NOTE: It is important to turn the knob only
one "click" each time the knob is pressed,.
More turnswill result in making the chain dull
instead of sharp.
8 Press knob firmly against chain and hold for
10-15 seconds or until sparks can no longer
be seen
9. Release knob and stop the engine.
t0. Inspect chain cutters..
NOTE: A properly sharpened cutter will show
grinding marks across its entire width, Figure

FELII

PROCEDURE
Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following technique to get the "feel" of using
your saw before you begin a major sawing
operation.
a. Accelerate the engine to full throttle just
before entering the cut by squeezing the
Throttle Trigger.
b. Begin cutting
with the spur against the
log. Figure 26
c. Keep the engine at full throttle the entire
time you are cutting.
d. Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only
light downward pressure, If you force the
cut, damage to the bar, chain, or engine
can result.
e. Release the Throttle as soon as the cut is
completed,
allowing the engine to idle If
you run the saw at full throttle without a
cutting toad, unnecessary wear will occur
to the chain, bar, and engine..
f. Stop the engine before setting the saw
down after cutting.

UNG TI_CHNUQUES

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 direction. 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.
c° Make sure there is enough room for the
tree to fall.
d. Remove dirt, stones,
loose bark, nails,
staples, and wire from the tree where cuts
are to be made.
e. Plan a clear retreat path to the rear and
diagonal to the line of fall Figure 27
DON'T

PUT YOURSELF

WARNING!
DO NOT CUT
--near electrical wires or buildings.
--if you do not know the direction of tree fall.

undercutting,
the saw will tend to push
back at you,_ Be prepared for this reaction
and hotd the saw firmly to maintain control
e Make 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 tog is being cut, it
will tend to bend, The saw can become pinch.

The
clutch can come off without the guide bar and
chain completely assembled and serious injury
could result° Do not loosen and spin the clutch
off of the crankshaft
with a power tool. The
clutch shoes and drum could separate causing
the clutch to violently fly apart and serious personal injury could result.
e Take the saw to your nearest Sears Service
Center for full clutch inspection and service
after each t00 hours of operation°/t is recommended that you do not try to service the
clutch yourself unless you are a competent
small engine mechanic and have the proper
clutch service tools, Proper disassembly
and
repair of the clutch is extremely important to
the life of the engine and the safety of the
operator.,
e Clutch maintenance
is required when:
_the chain continues to turn while engine
idles after the idle speed screw has been
adjusted to its capacity,
--slippage
occurs during a cut.
--a chattering noise occurs during cutting.
e Clean the clutch, drum, sprocket, and surrounding area daily during heavy use of the
saw. Check to see that the clutch drum turns
freely and smoothly
• Inspect the sprocket regularly for wear. A
worn sprocket will make the chain run erratically and wil! shorten the life of the bar
and chain. Figure 50.
e Replace the sprocket whenever a new chain
is installed in order to gain the full life expectancy of the chain. Use the following procedure:
