v/ded w/th yoursaw. As a chain saw user, you must take

special safety precautions to help keep your cutting jobs

free from accident or injury.

AKICKBACK WARNING

Kickback can occur when the moving chain contacts

an _at the upperportionofthetipoftheguide bar

orwhen thewood €loses in and ptncheethesew chain

inthe cut, Contact at the upper portton of the tip ofthe

guide barcan causethe chain todig into theobject and

stop the chain for an Instant. The result is slightning

fast, reverse reaction which k_cksthe guide barupand

back toward the operator, ff the saw chain ispinched

along the top of the gulde bar, the guide bar can be

driven rapidly back toward the operator. Either of

these reactions can cause loss of saw control which

REDUCING KICKBACK

1. Recognize that kickback can happen. With a

basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce

the element of Surprise which contributes to

accidents.

2. Neveriat the moving chain €ontactanyobject atthe

Up of the guide bar. Figure1.

3. Keep the working area free from obstructions

such as other trees, branches, rocks, fences,

stumps, etc. Figure 2. Eliminate or avoid any

obstructionthat your saw chain couldhit while you

are cutting through aparticular log or branch.

4. Keep your saw chain sharp and properly ten-

sioned. FollowSears chainsharpeningand mainte-

nanceinstructions.Checktensionat regular intervals

withtheenginestopped,neverwiththeenginerunning.

Make sure the barclampnutsare securelytightened

after tensioningthe chain.A looseor dull chain can

increasethe chanceof kickback.

5. Begin and continue cutting at lull throttle, if the

chain is moving at a slower speed, there is greater

chance for kickback.

6. Cut only one log at a time.

7. Use extreme caution when re-entering a cut.

8. Do not attempt plunge cuts.

9. Watch for shifting logs orotherforces that could

close a cut and pinch or fail into the chain.

10. Use only the Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar and

Low.Kickback Chain specifiedforyoursaw.

MAINTAINING CONTROL

1. Keep a good firm gdp on the saw with both hands

when the engine is running and don't let go.

Figu_r_e3, 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 whether

you are right handed or left handed. Keep your left

arm straight with the elbow locked.

2. Position your left handon the fronthandlebar SOit

isin a streight line with your dght hand onthe rear

handle when making bucking cuts. Figure3. Never

reverse right and left hand positionsfor any type of

cutting.

3. Stand with your weight evenly balanced on

both feet.

4. Stand slightly to the left side of the saw to keep

your body and head from being in a direct line

with the cutting chain. Figure 3.

5. Do not overreach. You could be drawn or thrown

Loftbalance and lose control of the saw.

6. Never cut above shoulder height. It is difficultto

maintaincontrolofthe saw aboveshoulderheightand

places the chain dangerously close to your upper

body. 3

E. CHAIN TENSION

• Correct chain tension is very important:

--a loose chain wilt 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.

• The chain stretches during use, especially

when new. Check tension:

each time the saw is used

-- more t_requentiywhen the chain isnew

as the chain warms up to normaloperatingtem-

perature

• Chain tensioning procedure:

NOTE: The bar clamp nuts must be no more than

finger tight to tension the chain correctly.

NOTE: Hold up the tip of the Guide Bar through

CAUTION

Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called

gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract

moisture which leads to separation and formation of

acids dudng storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel

system of an engine while in storage.To avoid engine

problems, do not leave fuel in the unit when storing

for 30 days or longer. Start the engine and let it run

untilthe fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh

fuel next season. See the "Storage" section for addi-

tional information. Never use engine or carburetor

cleaner pmdu,#_s in the fuel tank or permanent

damage can occur.

NOTE: if youdo not want to removethe gasoline

from your unit, SEARS CRAFTSMAN Fuel

Stabilizer(#71-33500) may be added to gasoline

te_ in the tank to minimize gum deposi_ and

adds. If the tank is almost empty, mix stabilizer

with fresh gasoline in aseparate containerand

TYPES OF CUTTING

HillIIII II I

A. BASIC CUTTING TECHNIQUE

1. IMPORTANT POINTS.

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

ma._nr'f,non-woodbuildingmaterials,etc:Donot

use yoursawto pryorshoveawaylimbs,roots,or

otherobjects.

b. Stop the saw tf the chain strikes aforeign

object. Inspect the unit and repair or replace

partsasnecessary.

c. Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Evena

smallamount of dirt willquick_ dulla chainand

increasethe possibilityof kickbacl_

AKICKBACK WARNING

Kickbackcan occur when the moving chain contactsan

object st the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or

when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in

the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the

guide barcan causa the chsin to dig into the object and

stop the chain foran instant. The result is s lightning

fast, reveme reaction which kicks the guide bar upand

back toward the operator. If the saw chain is pinched

along the top of the guide bar, the guide bar can be

drivenrapidlybacktowardtheoperator. Eitherof these

reactions can cause loss of saw control which can

result in serious/injury.

2. UNDERSTAND REACTIVE FORCES

Pinch-Kickback and Pult-ln occur when the chain

is suddenly stopped by being pinched, caught, or

by contacting a foreign object in the wood. This

a. Accelerate the engine to full throttle Just before

entering the cut bysqueezingthe throttletrigger.

b. Begin cutting thewith spuragainstthe log. Figure

c. Run the engineat full throttle the entiretimeyou are

cutting.

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

downward pressure. If youforce the cut, damageto

the bar, chain,orengine can result.

e. Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is

completed, allowingthe engineto idle.If yourunthe

g. Stop the engine before setting the saw down after

cutting.

•Pull-In

-can occur when the chain on the bottom of the

bar is suddenly stopped.

-pulls the saw rapidly forward.

B. TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES

Figure 16

=PLAN YOUR SAWING OPERATION CARE-

FULLY IN ADVANCE

a. Clear the work area. Youneed 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 aparticular direction:

1.) The WIND directionand speed.

2.) The LEAN of the tree.

3.) WEIGHTED with BRANCHES on oneside.

4.) SurroundingTREES and OBSTACLES.

c. Look for decay and rot. If the trunk is rotted,

itcould snap and fall toward the operator.

d. Check for broken or dead branches which

could fal! on youwhile cutting.

e. Makesure there is enough room for thetreeto

fall. Maintainadistance21/2tree lengthsfromthe

nearestpersonorother object.Engine noisecan

drownouta warningcall.

f. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,

staples, and wire from the tree where cuts

are to be made.

g. Plan rostand on the up-hill side when cut-

ting on a slope. Figure 16.

h. Plan s clear retreat path to the rear and

diagona! to the line of fall. Figure 17.

2. FELUNG SMALL TREES _LESS THAN 6"

IN DIAMETER

aIfyou knowthedirectionoffall:

1.) Make asingle,horizontalfelling cut on the

side away from the directionof the fall.

2.) CutallLheway through.

3.) Stop the saw, put it down, and get away

quicklyonyourplannedretreatpath.

b. If you are not sure which way the tree willfall,

use the notchmethod describedforfellinglarge

trees.

AWARNING

IX) NOT CUT:

near electrical wires or buildings.

if you do notknow the direcUon of tree fall.

_at night since you will not be able to see well.

--during bad wealher _strong wind, snow, rain,

etc.

1FELMNG LARGE TREES -- 6" DIAM_

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

intothe notch.

C; BUCKING

Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree

to the desired log size,

1. IMPORTANT POINTS

CutonlyoneIogata _me.

Cut shattered wood very carefully. Sharp

pieces of w(xx:l could be flung toward the

operator.

Use a sawhorse to cut small logs. Never

allow another personto holdthe togwhile cut-

ringand neverholdthetogwithyour legor foot.

Give special attention to logs under strain to

prevent the saw from pinching. Make the first

cut on the pressure side to relieve the stress

on the log. Figure 22.

Do not cut inan area wherelogs, limbs, or roots

aretangled such as ina blown down area. Puff

out exposed andcleared logsfirst.Drag the logs

into acleararea beforecutting.

Make the first bucking cut 113 of the way

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

the olpposite side. As the log is being cut, d wdl

tend to bend. The saw can become ptnched or

hung in the log if you make the first cut deeper

than 1:3 of the diameter of the log.

2. TYPES OF CUTTING USED Figure 22.

--Ovemutting- beginonthe topsideofthe logwith

spur against the log; exert light pressure

saw cannot be controlled in this position.

AWARNING

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

forceit out. You can losecontrolofthesaw resulting in

injury and/or damage to the saw, Stop the saw; drive a

wedge of plastic or wood into the cut unti !the saw can

beremoved easily. Figure23. Restartthe saw and care-

fully reenter the cut. To avoid kickback and chain

damage, do not use a metal wedge. Do not attempt to

restart your saw when it is pinched or hung in a log.

--Proper lubrication, page 10.

-.-Regular maintenance as described in this sec-

tion.

1. CHAIN MAINTENANCE

• Sharpen the chain when:

--wood chips are small and powdery. Wood

chips made by the saw chain should be

about the size of the teeth of the chain.

_saw has to be forced through the cuL

--saw cuts to one side.

[CAUTION:] Always wear gloves when handling

the chain. The chain is sharp enough to cut you

even though it is too dull to cut wood.

NOTE: The very top of the depth gauge

should be flat with the front half rounded

off with a flat file.

2. GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE

• Conditions which can require guide bar

maintenance:

--saw cuts to one side

--saw has to be forced through a cut

--inadequate supply of oil to bar and

chain;

• Check the condition of the guide bar each

time the chain is sharpened. A worn guide

bar will damage the chain and make cutting

moredifficult,Reversebar after every cleaning.

I ........... A WARNING r

Depth gauge tool is required to insure proper depth

gauge. Filing the depth gauge too deep will increase

the chance of kickback which can result in serious

;injury. •

b. CHAIN REPLACEMENT

1.) Use only the Low.Kick Chain specified for

your saw in "Specifications" for replace-

mentchain.

2.) Replace the chain when cutters or links

break.

3.) See your Sears Service Center to replace

and sharpen individual cuttersfor match-

ing your chain.

4.) Always have a worn sprocket replaced by

your Sears ServiceCenter when-installing

a newchain to avoidexcessivewear to the

chain.

• Replace the guide bar when:

--the inside groove of the guide bar rails is

worn.

--the guide bar is bent or cracked.

Use only the replacement Reduced-Kickback

Guide Bar specified for your saw in "Specifi-

cations:'

a. Remove the guide bar to service,

b, Clean oil holes at least once for each five

hours of operation. Figure 34.

c. Remove sawdust from the guide bar

groove periodically with aputty knife or

NOTE: Be sure to propedy prepare the saw as

describedin"1. Preparation" below,before making

any adjustments.

--Chain moves when the engine runs at idle

speed. See "2. Idle Speed Adjustment:"

-- Saw will not idle. See "'2. idle Speed Adjust-

ment" and "'3. Low Speed Mixture Adjust-

ment/'

-- Lossof cutting power which isnotcorrectedby

airfilter cleaning. "'See "5. HighSpeed Mixture

Adjustment/'

Engine dies orhesitates when it should accel-

erate. See "4. Acceleration Adjustment"

lCAUTION: tPermanent damage will occur to any

ments are made,

• If the unit will not operate properly after making

these adjustments, takethe unit to your Sears

Service Center.

.AWARNING

Recheck/die speed after each adjustment below. The

chain must not move at idle speed to avoid serious

injury.

3. LOW SPEED MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT

a. Allow engineto idle.

b. Turn the LowSpeed Mixture Screwslowly clock-

wise until the RPM startsto drop. Notethe position.

c. "rumtheLowSpeed MixtureScrew counterclock-

wise untilthe RPM speeds up andstartsto drop

again. Notethe position.

d. Set the Low Speed Mixture Screw at the m=d-

pointbetween the twopositions.

ACCELERATION ADJUSTMENT

tfenginediesorhesitatesinsteadofaccelerating,turn

the Low Speed Mixture Screw 1/16of a turn at a

time counterclockwise until you have smooth

acceleration.

HIGH SPEED MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT

CAUTI_..] Adjustments as small as 1/16 of a

turn can affect engine performance. It is impor-

tant to turn thescrew only 1/16of aturn perad|ust-

ment and testthe performance of the saw before

making further adjustments.

a. Make a testcut.

b. Adiust theHighSpeed MixtureScrew 1/16ofa turn

as follows:

----C!ockwJseff sawsmokesorlosespower.

-- Counterclockwiseifthe saw hasspeed outof

the cutbutlacks powerinthe cut.

c. Repeat testcut.

d. Continue 1116of a turn adjustmentsuntilthe saw

runs smoothlyincut.

Atoo lean highspeed setting (clock°

wise adjustment) will cause engine damage to

any 2,cycle engine from overheating and lack of

lubrication. Never set the high speed mixture

screw so farclockwise th*atyou have high engine

speed but lack power while cutting. An effective

approach follows:

-- Turn screw counterclockwise until engine

loses power while cutting,

-- Then, turn screw clockwise in 1/16 of a turn

increments only until the engine has power

while cutting.

NOTE: if the unit will not operate properly after

makingthese adjustments, takethe unitto yourSears

E. CLUTCH AND DRUM/SPROCKET F. AIR FILTER

AWARNING

Do notstart enginewithout Guide Bar, Chain, and Bar

Clamp Housing completely assembled. Theclutch can

come off without the guide bar and chain completely

assembled and serious injury can result. The clutch

shoes and drum can separate causing the clutch to

violently fly apart and serious injury can result.

• A dirty airfilter:

-- reduces cutting power.

-- increases fuel consumption

• Clean the air filter:

-- hequenlly, especiallyin very dusty+conditions.

-- always alter 10 tanks of fuel mixture or 5 hours

of operation, whichever is less.

• Replace the air filter if it is damaged.

+•+Take the saw to your Seam Service Center for

full clutch inspection and service alter each 100

hours of operation. It is recommendedthatyoudo

tant to the life of the engine and the safety of the

operator.

• 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.

• Clean the clutch, drum, sprocket,and surrounding +

area daily during heavy use ofthe s_w, Checktosee

thatthe clutchdrum turnsfreelyand smoothly.

• Inspect the sprocket regularly for wear. A worn

sprocket will make the chain runerratically and wil!

shorten the life of the bar and chain+Figure 42+

Always hate a worn sprocket replaced by your

Seam Service Center/Department whenever anew

chain is installed to gainthe fulllifeexpectancyofthe

chain.
