KNOW YOUR CHAroN SAW

A. INTRODUCTmON

The information found in this manual will help

you properly prepare your chain saw for use,

understand how to operate your saw safely, and

perform maintenance required to keep your unit

in good working condition.

Your saw has been designed with safety in mind

and includes the following safety features as

standard equipment:

Handguard

Lo Kick Guide Bar

Guard Link Chain

The chain saw should never be operated unless

these devices are properly installed on the unit.

The Lo Kick Guide Bar and Guard Link Chain

have been designed to reduce the incident of

kickback. You should thoroughly read and

understand the section,"Controlling Kickback,"

on page 10.

Bm STATE AND LOCAL ORDSNANCE

R_QUmREM_NTS

Your saw is equipped with a temperature

limiting 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, Maine, Washington and

Oregon require many internal combustion

engines to be equipped with a spark arrestor

screen and a temperature limiting muffler by

law.

If you operate achain saw in a state or locale

where such regulations exist, you are legally

responsible for maintaining the operating condi-

tion of these parts. Failure to do so could sub.

ject you to liability or to a finer Muffler and spark

arrestor maintenance is found on page 18.

Ell CHAMN TENSUON

eCorrect chain tension is very important:

--a loose chain will wear the bar and itself,

--a loose chain can jump off the bar while

you are cutting_

--a tight chain can damage the saw andtor

break,

--a chain, either too loose or too tight, can

cause injury,

Chain tension is correct when the chain:

--can be lifted about 1/8" 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

--more frequently when the chain is new

The Bar Clamp Nuts must be slightly loose to

tension the chain correctly.

2 Check the tension by lifting the chain from

the Guide Bar at the center of the bar, Figure

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,

flames or work that could cause sparks

cMix and store fuel in an approved, marked

container.

d. Mix and pour fuel in a well-ventilated area.

Gasoline vapors are harmful to your health

and are a serious fire hazard

e. Avoid over filling the fuel tank. Allow 3/4

inch for expansion. Tighten Fuel Cap

securely Figure 11

f. Wipe up all fuel spills. Wipe off any fuel

spilled on the saw, Completely dry the saw

before using,,

g. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from

fuel and fueling site before starting the

engine,

e The guide bar and cutting chain require con-

tinuous 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 -- undiluted,

Below O°F --

95% lubricant to 5% Diesel

Fuel #1 or Kerosene,

90% lubricant to 10%

2, HOW TO FILL THE OIL TANK

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

a. Stop the engine.

bl Turn saw on its side with oil cap up Figure

CoLoosen cap slowly and wait for pressure in

the tank to be released before removing the

cap.

d. Fill the oil tank°

Figure 12

Replace the oil cap securely,

3, IMPORTANT POINTS TO 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,,

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 ap-

pear under the saw after the engine stops.

This is due to oil draining from the bar and

chain when not in use

C= 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 REDUCE THE CHANCE

OF KICKBACK

a. Recognize that Kickback can happen. By

understanding and knowing about kick-

back, you eliminate the element of sur-

prise.

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 obstruc-

tions 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 in-

crease the chance of kickback

KICKBACK PATH

Figure 15

AVOID OBSTRUCTIONS

CLEAR WORKING AREA

Figure 16

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 CAN MAINTAIN THE BEST

CONTROL

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 com-

pletely 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 SYSTEM (iVIODEL.354870)

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.

® Always replace the sharpening stone when

--sparks are no longer seen at lull adjust-

ment

--only 1/4 inch of stone is remaining

--stone has become cracked or damaged.

wa 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 con-

ventional chain is substituted for the Power

Sharp Chain, See instructions for removing

the Stone Cartridge on page 12. Use replace-

ment chain #32-3638 Follow chain sharpen-

ing instructions on page 16..

A. AUTOMATIC 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 un-

til fully pressed down. Figure 19

NOTE: if stone should contact chain before

knob is fully pressed down, release knob

and turn knob counterclockwise until condi-

tion 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 "click"

clockwise,

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

NOTE: If abrasive materials such as rocks, nails,

sand or dirt are contacted by the chain, the side

plates should be checked more often. Damage

to the cutters caused by abrasive materials

usually results in discoloration spots where the

chrome has been worn away. Cutter side plates

should be filed until these spots are removed.

1. IMPORTANT POINTS.

a. Cut wood only. [3o not cut metal, plastics,

masonry, non-wood, building materials;

etc

b. Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign

object. Inspect the unit and repair or

repace parts as necessary,

Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a

small amount of dirt will quickly dull a

chain and thus, increase the possibility of

kickback.

BEGIN CLJTTING WITH THE

!SPUR AGAINST LOG.

Figure 26

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.

3"RI_E FELII 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 direc-

tion. The tree wilt be likely to fall:

1.) In the direction the WIND is blowing

2.) towards the direction of the LEAN of

WARNING!

DO NOT CUT

--near electrical 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,) 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

a, if you know the direction of fail:

t.) 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,

3. FE/.LING 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

wilt tend to fall into the notch.

a Make the notch cut Figure 28,

1) Cut the bottom of the notch first,

through 113of the diameter of the tree,.

2) Complete the notch by making the

slant cut,

3) 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-

ing cut and the notch to form a hinge

Figure 29

NOTE: The hinge helps to keep the tree

from twisting and falling in the wrong direc-

tion

Use a wedge if there is any chance that the

tree will not fail in the desired direction

NOTE: Stop cutting before the felling cut is

complete; use a wedge to open up the cut.

Be alert for signs that the tree is ready to

fail:

1,) cracking sounds

2) widening of the felling cut

3) movement in the upper branches

As the tree starts to fall, Stop the saw; put

it down, and get away quickly on your plan-

ned retreat path.

C. BUCKIN@

eBucking is the term used for cutting a fallen

tree to the desired log size,

eTwo types of cutting are used (Figure 30):

--Overcutting -- 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 under side 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 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.

ed or hung in the log if you make the first cut

deeper than 1/3 of the diameter of the log

1. BUCKING -- WITHOUT A SUPPORT

a Overcut with a 1t3 diameter cut

b Roll log over and finish with an overcut

WARNING!

Never turn the saw upside down to undercut.

The saw cannot be controlled in this position.

WARNING!

tf saw becomes pinched or hung in a tog, don't

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

saw resulting in personal injury and/or damage

to the saw° Stop the saw and drive awedge into

the cut until saw can be removed easily° Be

careful not to damage the chain with the wedge,

#, DEBRANCHnNG AND PRUHmNG

e Work slowly, keeping both hands on the saw

with a firm grip, Maintain secure footing and

balance,

• Watch out for springpoles. 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,

e Be alert for springbacko Watch out for bran-

ches 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

e Keep a clear work area° Frequently clear

branches out of the way to avoid tripping over

them

WARNING!

Never climb into a tree to debranch or prune° Do

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

tign which might cause you to lose control of

the saw°

ing. Allowing such contact could result in

serious personal injury.

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.

co Start at the base of the felled tree and work

towards the top cutting branches and

limbs, Remove small limbs with one cut

Figure 34

d. Keep the tree between you and the chain.

Cut from the side of the tree opposite the

branch you are cutting

e, Remove larger, supporting branches with

the 1/3, 213 cutting technique described in

the bucking section.

1,) Start with an overcut

2,) Finish with an undercut

Remove small limbs

with one cut,

Figure 34

2. PRUNING

a, Limit pruning to limbs shoulder height or

below. Do not cut if branches are higher

than your shoulder. Get a professional to

do the job

b. Refer to Figure 35 for the pruning techni-

que,

1) Undercut 1/3 of the way through the

limb near the trunk of the tree

2) Finish with an overcut farther out from

the trunk,

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 per-

sonal injury could result.

eTake the saw to your nearest Sears Service

Center for full clutch inspection and service

after each t00 hours of operation°/t is recom-

mended 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 sur-

rounding 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 er-

ratically and wil! shorten the life of the bar

and chain. Figure 50.

CO_T_R=V_ TM V_RATIO_ SYSTEM

This saw is equipped with a counter vibration 3.

system consisting of 5 isolator mounts Figure

56 The Isolator Mounts protect the user from

engine, bar, and chain vibration similar to the

way shock absorbers on a car protect from jolts

and bumps in the road

1. Check isolators each time the saw is used.

2, Replace isolators when:

--vibration increases

--mounts develop an out of round or

swollen shape usually caused from

exposure to gasoline and oil for long

periods of time

H. STORA@E

When storing your saw for over 30 days always:

Drain fuel tank in a safe manner (see Impor-

tant Points, page 8.)

Start Engine and allow to run at an idle

speed until the engine stops..

NOTE: This will remove most of the fuel from

the fuel system

ICAUTION_ Wear protective gloves when han-

dling the chain. The chain is sharp and can

cut you even when it is not moving.
