mw CHAIN TENSION

•Correct 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 and/or

break.

--a chain, either too loose Ortoo rtight, can

cause injury.

eChain 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:.

F. ENGINE FUEL MIXTURE

• 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

engin_ requires lubrication of moving" parts.

Lubi:icatlon is provided whenyouuse the

Tecomrnended mixture of gasoline and oi1.

•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 will foul the

spark plug.

--Too little oil will cause the engine to over-

heat resulting in damage.

r •

•Mix the fuel thoroughly in a container since

gasoline and oil do not readily combine. Do

not try to mix fuel directly in the fuel tank.

1. USE THE FOLLOWING FUEL MIXTURES:

'o,

engines;will shorten

spark plug life and could •

damage your engine.

Alcoholabsorbs moisture

causing acids to form

_hich will damage metal

and rubber parts.

3. HOW TO MIX FUEL 4. IMPORTANT POINTS

a. Pour one-half of the gasoline into an ap-

proved, marked container. Do not try to mix

oil and gasoline directly in the fuel tank.

b. Add entire measure of 2-cycleEngine Oil.

c_ Mix.

d. Add remainder of gasoline.

e. Mix'thoroughly for one minute.

_- Figure 11

a. Use only recommended fuel mixtures.

b. 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.

c. Mix 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 lilling 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 andfuelihg sitebefore starting,the

engine.

G. BARAND CHAIN OIL

,e_The guide bar and cutting chain require con-

tinuous lubrication in order to remain in oper-

i:ating condition. Lubrication is provided by

the automatic oiler system when the oil tank

iskept 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.

• Use Sears Bar and Chain Lubdcant #36554

or clean SAE 30W oil.

•in freezing weather oil will thicken, making it

necessary to thin bar and chain oi! with a

small:amount of Diesel Fuel #1 or Kerosene.

Bar and chain oil mustbe free flowing for the

e. Replace the oil cap securely.

' 3. IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER

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 run the

saw.

b. The saw will use about 112 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.

...._ :c. it is normal for a small amountofoil 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.

USING YOUR SAW

A. CONTROL OEVICES

Understanding the control dev_es on your saw

is an important part of learning how .to properly

and safely operate the unit. Figure 13.

1;'!The Ignition Switch is a toggle switch which

is moved up for the "Start" position and mov-

ed down for the "Stop" position.

2;-!The two-position Choke helps to start the

:saw by controlling the air flow to the fuel

system.

..... 3; The Trigger accelerates and controls the

speed of the engine and is designed to be

used with the Throttle Lock.

4.The Throttle Lock is a control feature which

_ ,_prevents the Trigger from becoming accident-

ly engaged, The Throttle Lock must be press-

ed before the Trigger can be activated,

5. The Throttle Detent Button holds the Throttle

Lock and Trigger in position while the engine

is being started. Release the Throttle Detent

Button afterthe engine is started by lightly

squeezing the trigger.

B. ii STARTING iNSTRUCTIONS

1. IMPORTANT POINTS

a.Hold saw firmly with the saw chain free to

turn without contacting any object. Figure

CONTROLLING KICKBACK

t0 ¸

Kickback is a dangerous chain saw reaction that

can cause sedous 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 it kickback does

Occur.

•.1. 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

,_co._t'aats anypart:of thebody._ .,

2. HOW YOU 'CAN REDUCE THE:CHANCE

OFr_KICKBACK .

a. Recognize that Kickback can happen. By

understanding and knowing about kick-

back, you eliminate the element of sur-

prise.

b. Avoid letting the moving Chain at the tip of

" • •the guide bar:contact any object. Figure15.

.c. Keep the working area free from obstruc-

tions suchas other trees, branches, recks,

fences, stumps, etc. Figure 16. Eliminate or

avoid any Obstruction that your saw chain

could hit while you are cutting through :a

particular 10g or branch.

,- d..Keep yoursaw chain sharp and properly

tensioned. A loose or dull chain can in-

crease the chance of kickback.

K! CKBACK PATH

Figure 15

AVOID OBSTRUCTIONS

CLEAR WORKING AREA

Figure 16

e. Operate the engine at full throttle for all

cutting. If the chain is moving at a slower

speed, there is greater chance for kick-

back to occur..

Use the Lo-Kick ®Guide Bar' and Guard

Link Chain specified for your particular

saw. These devices have been designed to

reduce the possibility of kickback.

g: Use extra caution if yoursaw is equipped

with the Power Sharp ®System. The Power

Sharp ® saw isequipped with a Lo-Kick ®

....Guide Bar and a Guard Link Chain. How-

ever, due to the chain requirements of the

built-in sharpening mechanism, the kick-

back force from the Power Sharp ®chain

may be greater than that from other Guard

Link chains.

:"3: HOW YOU_ CAN -MAINTAIN" THE BEST '

.,r...........CONTROL/ .... ....

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

hands. Figure 17. 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,

d. Stand slightly to the left side of the saw, to

keep your bqdy 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.

USING THE POWER SHARP ®SYSTEM (MODEL .354871)

Model .354871 is equipped with a PowerSharp _.

System that will perform approximately 80% of

the sharpening necessary for the saw chain.

•The Power Sharp ®System uses a built-in grind-

ing 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. Hand filing is required to correct the

_icutter side plates.

•Sharpen the saw chain when:

--wood chips become small and powdery;

_• i: . _Wood chips made by the chain should be

: about the sizeof the teeth of the chain.

--saw cuts to one side.

• _ --saw has to be forced through,the cut;

[CAUTION:] ALways wear gloves when handling

the chain. The chain can be sharp enough tocut

.... you, even when it is too dull to cut wood.

•Always replace the sharpening stone when

--sparks are no longer seen at full adjust.

ment

--only 1/4 inch of stone is remainlng

--stone has become cracked or damaged.

_--a new chain is installed. The used stone

will be worn to the shape of the 01d 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/f 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 SHARPENING

1. Stop the engine.

2. P!ace the saw on a,solid, flat surface and

make sure that the chain will not contact

anY0bject..

3. Adjustthe 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 i_ressed.

TYPES OF CUTTING

A. BASIC CUTTING TECHNIQUE

1. iMPORTANT POiI',ITS.

' • a. Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics,

masonry, non-wood, building materials;

.... etc .....

-Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign

........ objecL Inspect the unit and repair or

repace parts as necessary.

..... ;_. Keep the chain out of dirt and sana.Even a

small amount of" dirt will quickly dull a

chain and thus, increase the possibility of

kickback.

2. PROCEDU RE

- Practice cutting a few small logs using the

following feclmique to get the "feel" of using

your saw before you begin a major sawing

operation.

a.Accelerate the engine to full thfottle just

before _entering the cut by _squeezing the

Throttle Trigger,

b. Begin Cuffing with the spur against' the

_: log. Figure 26. ,

c. Keep the engine at full throttle:the entire

time you are cuffing,

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 resulL

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 load, unnecessary wear will occur

to the chain, bar, and engine. ::•

f. Stop the engine before setting the saw

down after cutting.

WARNING!

DO NOT CUT

"-'during bad weather--strong wind, snow, rain,

etc.

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.

tion. The treewill 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-:surethere is.enough room for the

..tree.to fall.

d;.Remove dirt, stones, loosebark, 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.

2.FELU NG SMALL TREES--,- LESS THAN 6"

DIAMETER -

a. If you know the direction of fail:

1.) Make a single felling cut on the side•

= _: .: :::- :.: _.away:fromthe: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./f you are not sure which way the tree wilt

fai!, use the notch method described for

felling large trees.

DON'T PUT YOURSELF IN THESE POSITIONS

Check the wind.

Don't cut down wind. ,,/ Check the

Don't cut on lean side.

Check race.

Don't cut on weighted side.

3. FELLING LARGETREES---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 fail. 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 28.

%) CQt the bottom of the notch first,

through 1/3 of the diameter of the tree.--

2.) Complete the notch by making the

slant cut.

3_) Remove the notchof wood.

b. Make the felling cut onthe opposite side of

the notch about 2" higher than the bottom

of the notch.

c. Leave enough uncut wood between the fell,

_i0,g,__qutand the notch to form a hinge.

DIRECTION_

o-,.LU 2.

Figure 27

NOTE: The hinge helps to keep the tree

fromtwisting and falling in the wrong direc-

tion.

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 awedge to open up the cut,

e. Be alert for signs that the tree is ready to

fall:

1.) cracking sounds

2.) widening of the felling cut

3.) movement in the upper branches.

f. As the tree starts to fall, Stop thesaw;put

it down, and get awayquickly on your plan-

ned retreat path.

• Bucking is the term used for cutting_a fallen

;i._tree_t_the desired log size.

• Two,typeS !of cuffing:am used- (Fig ure_30 ):

---Overcutting _ begin on the topside ofthe

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 witl tend to push

back at you. Be prepared for this reaction

and hold the saw firmly to maintain control.

• M_4(e_th_ifitst_]_ucl_ing_! 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

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.
