SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS

WARNING!

Because a chain saw is a high-speed wood-cutting tool, special safety precautions

must be observed to reduce the risk of personal accidents. Careless or improper use

may cause serious injury,

A. KNOWYOUR SAW To reduce the hazard of kickback:

Read your Operator's Manual carefully until

you completely understand and can follow all

safety.rules and operating instructions before

attempting to operatethe unit.

Restrictthe use,of your saw to adult users

who understand and follow the safety rules,

precautions, and operating instructions

found in this manual.

B. PLAN AHEAD

personal protective gear. AI-

use steel-toed safety foot-

wear with non-stip soles; snug;

fitting clothing with reinforced

cutting resistant inserts; heavy-duty non-slip

gloves;appropriate eye protectionsuch as non-

fogging, vented goggles or face screen; an ap-

proved safety hard hat, and sound barriers meat

plugs or mufflers to protect your headng. Regular

users should have hearing checked regularly as

chain saw noise may damage hearing.

Keep children, bystanders, and pets out of the

work area.Do not allow other people to be near

the chain saw when starting or operatingthe chain

SaW.

Do not handle or operate a chain saw when. you D,

are fatigued, ill, or upset; or if you have taken -

alcohol,, drugs or medication. You must be in "

good physical condition and mentally alert. Chain

saw work is strenuous. If you have any condition

that might be aggravated by strenuous work,

checl_-W!_ your doctor before operating achain

saw.

Do notlattempt to use your saw during bad

weather, conditions such as strong wind, rain,

snow,e_., or during darkness.

Plan your sawing operations carefully in ad-

vance; :Do not start cuttinguntil you havea clear

work area; secure footing,, and if you are felling

1. Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Left hand

on front handle bar, right hand on rear handle

whether you are right-handed or/eft-handed.

Never use the saw withone hand.

2. Do not overreach.

3. Do not let the tip of the guide bar contact the

ground, another log, branch, or any other

obstruction.

4. Begin and continuecutting atfuilthrottle.

5. Cut one log at atime.

6. Use extreme-caution when re,entering apre-

viouscut.

7 Do not attempt plunge cuts.

8. Watch for shifting logs or other forces that

could close a cut and pinch the chain.

9. Do not out above shoulder heighL

10. Follow manufacturer's chain sharpening

and maintenance instructions. Keep the

chain properlytensioned. Check tension at reg-

ular intervals with the engine stopped; never

with the,engine running. Make surethe bar

clamp nuts are securely tightened aiter tension-

ing the chain.

11. Use the Guard Link Chain and Lo-Kick ®

Guide Bar designed for your saw to reduce the

hazard of kickback.

AVOID REACTIVE FORCES

Pushback and Pull-in occur when the chain is

suddenly stopped by being pinched; caught, or.

by contacting a foreign object in the wood. This

results in a reversal of the chain force used to cut

wood andcauses the-saw to move inthe opposite di-

rection of chain rotation,'resuiting-in loss of control

and possiblesenous personal injury.

To avoid Pushback:

1. Be extremely aware of situations or obstruc-

.... , tions that may cause material.to pinchthe top of..

, : • orotherwisestopthechain. , : ."

trees_ a_planned retreat path.

C. GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK

3. Do not twist the saw as the baris withdrawn

'.... : from an under-cutwhenbucking. ,

Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of

the saw and possibly cause serious personal in-

jury. Kickback is the upwardand backward motion of

the guide bar that occurswhen the movingchain con-

tects an object at the tip ofthe guide bar.

_ .... 2. Do not cut more than one log at a time. ......

:_ • To avoid PulHn:

_ _ 1."Always begin cutting with the engine at full

throttle and the saw housing against the

wood.

2. Use wedges made of plastic, wood, or light

alloy (never of steel or iron) to holdthe cut open.

E. HANDLE FUELWITH CAUTION

1. Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame in the

areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored.

There should be no smoking, open flames, orwork

that could cause sparks.

2. Mix, pour and store fuel in a well-ventilated

area, on bare ground, and in an approved,

marked container.

3. Wipe up all spilled fuel before starting your

SaW.

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

and fueling site before startingthe engine.

5. Do not smoke while handling fuel or while

operating the saw.

6. Turn the engine off and let your saw cool be-

fore removing the fuel tank cap and refueling

the unit.

7. Let the saw cool in a non-combustible area, not

on dry leaves, straw ,paper, etc.

F. OPERATE YOUR SAW SAFELY

1. Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,

improperly adjusted, or not completely and

securely assembled.

2. Do not operate the saw from a ladder or in a

tree.

3. Position all parts ofyour body away to the side

of the saw chainr protrudingto the left of cut when

the engine is running.

4. Cut wood only. Do not use to pryor shove away

limbs, roots or other objects.

S_ Make sure the chain will not make contact be-

fore starting the engine. Never try to start the

saw when the guide bar isin acut orkerr.

6. Use extreme caution when cutting small size

brush and saplings. Slender matedai may catch

the saw chain and be whipped toward youor pull

you off balance.

7. Be alert for springback when cuttingalimb that

is under tension so you will not be struck by the

limb or saw when the tension inthe wood fibers is

released.

8. Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of

a cut. This could cause you to lose control when

the cutis completed.

9. Stopthe engine before setUng the saw down.

'G. r MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN GOOD

WORKING ORDER

1. Have all chain saw service performed by your

authorized service dealer center, other than the

items listed in the maintenance section of this

manual.

2. Keep fuel and oil caps, screws and fasteners

securelytightened.

3. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or

fuel mixture.

4. Make certain the saw chain stops moving

when the throttle trigger is released, if it does

not, refer to page 21 for correct carburetoridle ad-

justment instructions.

5. Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign ob-=

ject. Inspect the unit and repair or reptaceparts as

necessary. "

6. Disconnect the spark plug before performing

any maintenance except for carburetor adjust-

ments.

7. Never modify your saw in any way. Use only at-

tachments supplied or specifically recommended

by Sears.

H. CARRY AND STORE YOUR SAW

SAFELY

1. Hand carry the unit with the engine stopped,

the Muffler away.from your body, andthe Guide

Bar and Chain to the rear covered preferably with

a scabard.

2. Before transporting in any vehicle orstodng in

any enclosure, allow your saw to cool com-

pistely, cover the bar and chain and properly se-

cureto avoid turnover, fuelspillage ordamage.

3. Drain oiland fuel tank before storing for more ._

than 30 days.

4. Store in a dry area out of the reach of children

and away from where fuel vapors can reach an

open flame from hotwater heaters, furnaces, etc.

Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of chain saws may produce Whitefinger disease (Raynaud's

phenomenon). This phenomenon reduces the hand's ability to feel and regulate temperature, produces

numbness and burning sensations and may cause nerve and circulation damage and tissue necrosis. An

anti-vibration system designed to reduce engine vibration is available on many Sears models and is

recommended for those using chain saws on a regular or sustained basis.

An anti-vibration system does not guarantee the avoidance of Whitefinger disease. Continual and regular

_usersshould monitor closely their use of chain saws and physical condition.

11 ENGINE FUEL MIX"rURE

• 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_ycleengine re-•

quires 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 will form compounds that can cause hard

starting and damage in 2-cycle engines.

The c0_t measure of gasoline to oil is very

importanL

--Too much oil in the mixture will foul the

spark plug.

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

heat and freeze up_

• Mix the fuel thoroughly in a separate con-

tainer since gas, line and oil do not readily

combine.

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

proved marked container. Do not try tomix

fuel directly in the fuel tank.

b. Add entire measure of 2-cycle Engine Oil.

c. Mix.

d. Add remainder of gasoline.

e. Mix thoroughly for one minute.

4. IMPORTANT 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 workthat couldcause sparks.

b° Mix, pour and store fuel in an approved,

marked container and in a well-ventilated

area. Gasoline vapors are harmful to your

health and are a serious firehazard. Use afun-

nel orspout when pouringfuel.

c. Avoid over filling the fuel tank. Allow3/4 inch

for expansion. Tighten Fuel Cap securely. Fig-

ure8.

Wipe up all fuel spills. Wipe off fuel spilledon

the saw before using.

Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from

fuel and fueling site before starting the en-

gine.

E, BARAND CHAIN OIL

eThe 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 and/or

discoloration Of the guide bar rails.

Use Sears Bar and Chain Lubricant #71-36554

or clean SAE 30W oil.

eIn freezing weather oil wiU thicken, making it

necessary to thin bar and chain oil.with a

smaflamount of Diesel Fuel #1 or Kerosene.

Bar and chain oil must be free flowing for the

oil system to pump enough oil for adequate

lubrication.

lo USE THE FOLLOWING:

30°F or above--Lubricant--undiluted.

30°F!-0°F --95% Lubricant to

5% Diesel Fuel #1

or Kerosene.

Below 0°F --90% Lubricant to

10% DieseiFuet #1

or Kerosene.

2. HOW TO FILL THE OIL TANK

a. Turn saw on its side with oil cap UP. Figure

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.

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 run the

saw.

b. It is normal for a small amount of oil to ap-

pear under the saw after the engine stops

due to oil draining from the bar and chain.

USING YOUR SAW

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS _=

Each time before operating your saw, always:

1. ,_Check over safety rules and precautions in

this manual. Make certain you completely

understand and can apply each one.

2. ,,,Check personal protective gear. Always use

appropriate eye, hearing, and head protection

devices; safety footwear, protective gloves;

and snug.fitting clothing.

3. ,,,Check the saw for loose bolts, nuts, or fit-

tings. Tighten, repair or replace parts as

•6.

g°

4. ,,,Check the air filter. Clean the filter before

operating the unit.

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS (Refer to

,_'Check the saw chain. The chain should be

sharp and at the correct tension.

,,-Check the fuel tank and oil tank. Both tanks

should be filled.

,,,Check the handles. Handles should be dry

and free of fuel mixture and oil.

,,-Check weather conditions. Do not use your

saw at night or during bad conditions such

as strong wind, rain, snow, etc.

,,'Check the work area. Keep children,

bystanders, and pets a safe distance away

from the work area when starting or operating

the saw.

"SpecificaUons,,' page 2, for location of controls.)

1. IMPORTANT POINTS

a. Hold saw firmly with thesaw chain free to

turn without contacting any object. Push

saw away from you with your dght hand

while pulling the starter rope with your left

hand. Figure 12.

Use no more than 15-18 inches of starter

rope per pull. Usingthe full length oflhe rope,

may cause it to break. Do not let the starter

rope snap back. Hold the handle and let the

rope rewind slowly.

Pull rope no more than 5-6 times to avoid

flooding the engine. 8-10 pulls may be re-

quired for anew unit, a saw that has been

stored, a refueled unit which has run out of

gas.

Release the trigger after engine starts,

allowing the engine to idle. The chain must

not move when the engine idles. If correc-

tion is required, refer to Carburetor Ad-

justments, page 21.

Stop engine by moving the ignition switch

to the "STOP" position Figure 13.

Use only 15-18 inches

of rope Per Pull.

C. CONTROLLING KICKBACK

Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can cause

serious personal injury. Carefully =udy this man-

ual 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

Kickback can occur when the moving chain

contacts an object at the tip or nose of-the

guide'bar. This contact causes the chain to dig

into the object and stops the chain for an instant.

The result is alightning fast, reverse reaction

which kicks the saw tip up and back toward the

operator. The operato r can lose control ofthe saw

and the.cutting chain can cause sedous personal

injurY:if,itcontacts any part ofthe body.

2. REDUCETHE CHANCE OF

KICKBACK

a. Recognize that kickback can happen. By

understanding and knowing about kickback,

you are better equipped to deal with an occur-

rence,

b. Never let the movingchain contact any ob-

jectat the tip of the guide bar. 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 while you are cutting through apar-

ticularlog orbranch.

d. Keep your saw chain sharp and properly

tensioned. A loose ordull chain can increase

the chance of kickback. .,_

e. Begin and continue cutting at fult throttle. "

if the chain is moving ata slower speed, there :•

is greater chance for kickbacktOoccur. '

.f. Cut one log at a time. -

g. Use extreme.caution when re-entering a

previous cut. - "

h. Do notattemptplunge cuts.

i. Watch for shifting logs or other forces that

could close a cut and pinch or fall into the

chain.

j. Use the Lo-Kick_Guide Bar and Guard Link.

Chain specified for your particular saw. '

These devices have been designed to reduce

the hazard of kickback.

k. Use extra caution if your saw is-equipped

with the Power Sharp'-"System. The Power

SharP_ saw is equipped with a_I'D-Kick" Guide

Bar and a Guard Link Chain. However, due to

the chain requirements of the built-in sharpen- .

ing mechanism, the kickback force from the .

Power Sharp-" chain may be greater than that

from other Guard Link chains.

3. MAINTAIN THE BESTCONTROL

a°

Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both

hands. Figure17. A firm grip can neutralize ,_::i _-_

kickback and help you maintain contto!of the

saw. Keepthefingersofyour left hand encircl-

ing and yourleft thumb under the front hand-

lebar. Keep your right hand completely

around the rear handle whether youare right

handed or left handed. Keep your left arm

straight withthe elbow looked....

Position .your left hand on the front hand-

lebar so it is in a straight line with your

right hand on the rear handle. Figure!7:

Never reverse rightand left hand positions.

Stand with your weight evenly balanced on

both feet.

Stand slightly to the left side of the saw, to

keep yourbody from being in a direct line

with the cutting chain. Figure 17

Do not overreach. You could be drawn or

thrown off balance and losecor_trolof the saw.

Do not cut above shoulder heighL It is diffi- ......

cult to maintain control of the saw above

shoulder height. 11

USING THE POWER SHARP®SYSTEM (MODEL358.355070)

Ell

Model 358.355070 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 fit-

ing isrequired to correct thecutterside 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 cuts to one side.

--saw has to be forced through the cuL

Replace the sharpening stone when a new

Power Sharpe 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 instructionsfor remov-

ing the sharpening Stone and Carder Assembly,

page 13. Use replacement chain for Model

358.355060 (2.3/16"), Stock No. 71-3629. Follow

conventional chain sharpening instructions on

page 17.

ICAUTION:]Aiways wear gloves when handling

the chain. The chain can cut you even though

it is too dull to cut wood.

A. AUTOMATIC SHARPENING

1. Stop the engine.

2. Place saw on asolid, 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 half throttle.

5. Press the Power Sharp® Knob down until

you feel the sharpening stone lightly con-

tacting the chain: Figure 18.

6. Maintain constant; light 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 show

grinding marks across its entire width. Figure

TYPES OF CUTTING

A. BASIC CUTTING TECHNIQUE

le IMPORTANT POINTS.

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

masonry, non-wood, buildingmaterials; etc.

b. Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign

object- Inspect theunit and repair or replace

parts as necessary.

c. Keep the chain out of dirt andsand. Even a

small amountof dirtwill quicklydullachain and

thus, increase the possibilityof kickback.

2. UNDERSTAND REACTIVE FORCES

Pushback and Pull-in occur when thechain is

suddenly stopped by being pinched, caught,

or by contacting a foreign object in the wood.

This results in a reversal of the chain force used

to cut wood and causes the saw to move intheLOp-

positeclir_on of chain rotation, resultingin loss

ofcontrol and possible serious personal injury,

• Pushback:

--occurs when the chain, on top ofthe bar, is sud-

denly stoppedwhen the topof the bar isused for

cuffing.

drives the saw straightback toward the operator,

possibly causing lossof sawcontrol

• To avoid Pushback:

a. Be extremely aware of situations or ob-

structions that may cause material to stopor

pinchthe top ofthe chain.

b. Do not cut more than one log atatime.

c. Do not twist the saw asthebariswithdrawn

from an under-cut.

Pull-in:

-- occurs when the chain on the bottom of the bar

is suddenly stopped.

occurs when the spike orsaw housingis notheld

securely against the tree orlimb and/or whenLthe

cut is not begun at fullthrottle.

Bpulls the saw forward, and could cause the

operator to lose control

•To avoid Pull-in:

a. Always begin cutting withthe engine at full

throttle and the spike orsaw housingagainst

the wood.

b. Use wedges made of plastic, wood, or light

alloy (never of steel or iron) to hold the cut

open.

3; PROCEDURE

Practice cutting afew small logs usingthe follow-

ing technique to get the =feel"of using your saw

before you begin a major sawing operation.

a. Accelerate the engine to fulll throttle just be-

fore entering the cut by squeezing the Throttle

Trigger.

b. Begincutting with the saw frame against the

Iog_.Figure 24.

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, dam-

age to the bar, chain or engine can result.

e. Release the throttletrigger as soon as the cut

is completed, allowingthe engine to idle. Ifyou

run the saw at full throttle without a cutting

load, unnecessary wear can occur to the

chain, bar, and engine.

f. Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of

the cut to avoid losing control when the cutis

complete.

g. Stop the engine before setting the saw down

after cutting.

If you are not sure which way the tree will fall,

use the notch method described for felling

large trees.

3. FELLING LARGE TREES m6" 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 afelling cut ismade on the

opposite side of the tree, the tree will tend to fall

intothe notch.

NOTE: If the tree has large buttress roots, re-

move before making the notch. CUtinto the but-

tresses vertically, then hodzontaily. FKjure25

a. Make the notch cut. Figure27. ,

1.) Cut the bottom of the notch first, through

1/3 ofthe diameter of the tree.

2.) Complete the notch by making the slant

cut.

3.) Removethe notch ofwood.

D. DEBRANCHING AND PRUNING

• Work sloWl_y, keeping both hands on the saw

with a fi_ grip. Maintain secure footing and ba !-

alice.

• Watch out for springpoles. Use extreme caution

when cuffing small size limbs. Slender material

may catch thesaw chain and be whipped toward

you or puleyou off balance.

• Be alert for springback. Watchout for branches .....

that are bent or under pressure asyou are cuffing

to avoid being struckby the branchorthe saw when

the tension inthe wood fibers is released.

•Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear bran-

ches out of the way to avoid trippingoverthem.

Never climb into a tree to debranch or prune. Do '

•not stand on ladders, platforms, a log or in any

position which might cause you to lose control of

the saw.

,WARNING!

BE ALERT FOR AND GUARD AGAINST

KICKBACK. Do not allow the moving chain to con-

tact.any other branches or objects atthe nose of

the guidebar when debranching or pruning. Al-

lowing such contact could result in serious per-

sonal iniury. ' .......

1DEBRANCHING

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 pmpedy,

b. Leave the larger lower limbs to supportthe

tree as you work.

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

towardsthe top, cuffing branches and

limbs. Remove small limbsw!th one cut. Fig-

ure34.

d. Keepthe tree between you andthe chain.

Cdt from the side of the. tree opposite the

maintenance:

_saw cuts to one side

--saw has to be forced through a Cut

--inadequate supply of oil to bar and

chain.

•Cheek the condition of the guide bar each

time the chain is sharpened. A worn guide

bar will damage the chain and make cut-

ting more difficult. '_, _:_

• Replacethe guide barwhen:

Mthe inside groove of the guide bar rails is

worn°

.the guide bar is bent orcracked.
