KICKBACK CONDITIONS AND PREVENTION Kickbackoccurswhen the upper quadrant of the bar nose contacts a solid object in the wood or is pinched, This type of contact stops the chain for an instant.The resultis a lightningfast reverse reaction of the chain; causing the bar to "kick"up end back toward the operator. Under some circumstancesthe operator (Fig. I) may suffer severe or fatal injury.Kickbackmay also occurdudng limbing (See LIMBING). RGURE 1 Kickback path 3 second. The chain brake can also be engaged manually by pushingthe lever-handguardtowards the frontof the saw untila loud click is heard. The saw shouldnot be run above idle for more than a few secondswith the brake engaged; otherwise damage to the saw will occur. TO AVOID KICKBACK The best protectionfrom personal injurythat may resultfrom Kickback is to avoid Kickbacksituations. • Hold the chain saw firmlywith beth handsand maintain a secure grip, • Be aware of the location of the guide bar nose at all times (Fig, 2). RGURE 2 To properlydisengage the chain brake; firmly pull the [ever-handguard back towardsthe hand[e (Fig. 3) until a loud click is heard. Failure to completely disengage the brake properlywill cause excessive heat build-up on the brake band which, in turn, can cause severe damage to the saw body.

Too littleoil or the incorrectoil type will cause poor performance and may cause the engine to overheat and seize. AND OIL MIXTURE Important! Do not use automotive or boat oils in your chain saw. These oils do not have proper additives for 2-cycle, air-cooled engines and can cause engine damage. Gasoline and oil mustbe pramixed in a clean approvedfuel container.Always use fresh regular unleadedgasoline.This engine is certifiedto operate on unleaded gasoline. The 2-cycle engine on this productrequiresa fuel mixture of regular unleaded gasolineand a high quality 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil for lubricationof the 5 FUEL MIXTURECHART GASOUNE OIL 1 Gallon 3.2 Ounces 2.5 Gallons counterclockwise(+) increases the amount of oil, clockwise(-) decreases the flow. Never cut without chain lubrication.Check proper level before each cutting. I I FIGURE 5 8.0 Ounces IMPORTANTI Alcohol blendedfuels called gasohol (using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture, which leads to fuel - oil separation'andformationof acids dudng storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system shouldbe emptiedbefore storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, then run the fuel out of the carburetorand fuel linesby startingthe engine and letting it run untilit stops. Use fresh fuel next season. See storage instructions for additional information.Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanentdamage may occur. STOPPING ENGINE •To stop engine, release the throttle lever. Move the On-Off switch to the off (STOP) position. STARTING COLD NOTE: Check ©haln tension before starting! 1. Tum the on-off switch to the on "1"position. 2. Pull out the choke knob. The fast idle stays set until the throttle is depressed, at which time the red pin inside the choke lever retracts (idle position). CAUTION: Retain a secure gdp on the saw using the foot and hand positionfor startingthe chain saw in a safe manner. 3. Pump fuel pdmer until it is approximately ½ full with fuel and increased resistance is felt. Proceed with coldstarting instructions. 4. Slowly pull on starter gdp until rope encounters some resistancefrom starter pulley. Next, pull ropefirmly and rapidly in an upward motion. Guide rope back into starter rather than lettingit snap back. 5. Repeat rope pulls until engine attemptsto start, usually2-3 pulls, no more than 5; then immediatelypush in choke knob. 6. Once the engine is steadily running depress and release the throttle lever to allow engine to operate , at idle speed. NOTE: Depressing (and then releasing)the throttle lever releases the halfthrottleautomatic lock and the red indicatorpin on the choke knob retracts.The engine continuesto runat idle speed. 7. Shouldthe engine fail to start after several repeated starting attempts, the engine has already been "flooded"(too much fuel mixture in cylinder). in this case, remove the spark plug and dry it. Set the ignitionswitch to "stop"and the throttlelever to fullthrottle.Crank engine by pullingthe starter ropeseveral times to vent fuel mix and vapors from cylinderand crankcase. Check spark plug gap (.015-.020"); correct if necessary. Reinstall spark plug;connect spark plug cap. Set ignition 2-CYCLE O|L Craftsman 2-cycle, air-cooled engine oil is specially blended with fuel stabilizers.If you do not use this Sears oil, you can add a fuel stabilizer,such as Craftsman No. 33500, to yourfuel mix. FUEL STABILIZER A fuel stabilizer is an acceptable a_f'emativein minimizing the formation of fuel gum depositsdudng storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline mixture in fuel storagecontainer and mix well. Always followthe fuel mix ratio found on the stabilizer container.Run engine at least 5 minutes after adding stabilizerto allowthe stabilizerto reach the carburetor. You do not have to drain the fuel tank for storage if you are usingfuel stabilizer. _ BAR AND CI_IAIN OIL We recommend e special chain oil (low sling, high tack) to lubricateyour bar and chain; consult your local Sears retailer. Dudng chain saw operationsat temperatures below freezing (00C/32*F), the chain oil viscosityincreases creating an ovedcad to the automatic oil pump. Overloadingresultsin damage to the driver gear, pump mechanism, and bar and chain. A specialcold-climate chain oil shouldbe used. Refill chain oil each time you refuel. CAUTION: Never use waste engine oil; it will damage the pump. OIL PUMP Your chain saw is equipped with an automaticoil pump that pumps oil to the chain when the chain is rotating. You may adjust the amountof oil pumped to compensate for long bars and chainsor for extremely hard or frozen wood. Adjust the flow rate by turningthe adjustmentscrew. The adjustmentscrewis locatedon the bottomof the saw below the markings+ - on the same side as the bar and chain (Fig. 5). Turning 6 STARTING WARM 1. Pullchoke knob out. 2. Pushchoke knobback into open position,red indicator pin on choke button remains visible. 3. Crank engine and allow to run briefly. 4. Depress throttle lever to allow engine to run at idle speed (indicatorpin disappears). RGURE 6 If you are unsuccessful[in starting the engine, consult the Troubleshootingguide in your Craftsman chain saw handbookor contact a Bears Service Center. Beforefelling a tree, survey it carefully and answer these questions: 1. In which directiondoes the tree lean? 2. Is the condition of the trunk sound, hollowor partiallyrotten? 3. From which directionis the wind blowing? 4: What is the wind velocity? CAUTION: Wind directionand velocitymay change. Be alert! Fellingshould not be attempted in high winds. 5. Isthe crown (top) of the tree more dense and heavieron one side? These are factors and forces which will influencethe line of fall and escape routes. Survey the area; make sure that felled trees cannot strikeany objectssuch as power lines, buildings,cars and blockroadways or railroad tracks. Insure that neither persons nor animals are within the danger zone (measured distance away from tree that is 21,_ timesthe tree height). Clear escape route by removingundergrowthlikelyto intedere with es_c_....Be sure to warn othersby shouting"TIMBER when e tree is about to fall. Bdef each team member on properescape proceduresand signals. Have visualcontactwith team members prior to and during fellingoperation.Practice a "dryrun" escape! Prior to fellingprepare the immediatesite and the base of the tree by clearingaway undergrowthwith an axe, not the saw. Undergrowthcan tangle up or snag the saw chainresultingin serious injuryor saw damage. Clean the trunkof brush and remove small branches from the lower trunkwith a small axe. Remove large buttressrootsfirst.Start by cuttingthe largest buttressrooL Remove each by cuttingit verticallyfirst,then horizontally(Fig. 7). Sina!! buttress rootscan be removedwhen fellingis complete unless they hamper the fellingprocess. RGURE 7 NOTE: These basic rules apply to felting a single tree or many. However, end additional organizingis requiredwhen felling several trees. Preliminary preparationmust be done outside the danger zone. Be sure othersknow where you are and what you are doingat all times. CAUTION: Do not try to fell a tree along a line different from its natural line of fail unlessyou have considerableexperience. Determinecarefully the correct line of fall. Clear two safe exitpaths to the rear (clear away escape routes for each member of the felling team). Do not place toolsand equipmentin the path. Make your escape routeat a 45 ° angle back and away from the line of fail (Fig. S). When felling, assume a balanced bodyposition(Fig. 8). Positionthe feet paralleland apart to obtain a steady stance and stand at the side of the tree. Lower the point of gravityby bendingthe knees (comfortably arch your back). Keep the saw near the body, hold it firmly with both hands,and lockthe thumbs under the handlebar at all times. FIGURE 8 CAUTION: Maintain good footing, body balance and insurea safe escape path has been established. Never fell a tree without making a proper felling notch (undercut). The next cut (Fig. 11) is called the felling cut (back cut). Make itat least 2" higherthan the lower cut of the fellingnotch by cutting horizontallyand parallelto the fellingnotch. Do not cut throughto the felling notch. Leave a "hinge"of uncutwood approximately 1/10 of the tree diameter (Fig. 11). WARNING: To avoid personal injury, do not cut throughthe hinge! A properhinge prevents the tree from possibly"sittingback"or "butt kicking"the back of the stump,twistingoff the stump, or fa_tingprematurely end uncontrolled. CUI"I'ING FELLING NOTCH Start felling by making a careful fellingnotch (undercut) first (Fig. 9). This notch determines the line of fall. Positionit at a dght angle. Cut the fellingnotch to a depth of about '/_of the trunk diameter. It must be wide enough and shouldnever be higherthan its depth. When fellinga large tree, drive wedges intothe felling cut. Use only wooden or plasticwedges. Never use steel or iron wedges whichcan cause kickbackand damage to the chain. Wedges prevent the tree from settlingback on the bar and help controlthe direction of the fall towardthe fellingnotch (fig. 12). RGURE 9 RGURE 12 Fellin To make the felling notch, startwitITthe upper cut facing the line of fail This is a directionalcut downwards at an angle (Fig. 10, 1). Next, make the lower felling notch cut. Cut horizontallyand straight intothe tree until it meets the upper cut forminga wedge (Fig. 10, 2). SMALL TREES If the trunkdiameter is smaller than the guide bar cuttinglength, be carefulmaking the fellingcut and formingthe hinge. Once the felling cut has been made, place the buckingspike at the base line dghtbehind the hinge, and do a fan cut (Fig. 13). RGURE 10 RGURE 13 Directionof fa_=_ The exception is when the tree is on a slope;then the lower cut should be on an upward angle to cut a larger, more open wedge and to gain greater control durirtgthe fall of the tree (Fig. 11). The buckingspike is the toothed metal piece attached to the front of the saw body and found to the left of the bar. With the buckingspike teeth against the log firm contactbetweenthe saw body and the log are maintained.A fan cut is accomplishedby first contactingthe teeth of the buckingspike to the log and then, usingthe buckingspike as the pivot point, rotatingthe bar through the log in a counterclockwise direction. FIGURE 11 8 LIMBING(Removing limbsfromfelledtrees) WARNING: Ofall the cutting operations,limbingis the 6. Craftsman saws are designedto allowthe powerheed to glide over the trunkduring limblng. Cut the branches in a swingingbeck and forth movement with the saw remainingon the tree. This is knownas the =pendulum method." 7. Pdor to cuttingthe branches,considerthe directionin whichthe branches may fall. Thiswill determine whether you cut from the top down (overbuck, Fig. 16) or from below up (underbuck, Fig. 17). 8. Watch out for branches under tensionwhichcan snap back. Tension mustbe removed before these branches can be safely cut. Beware of potentialkickbacksituations. 9. If large branches are to be used for firewood, cut them to length while stillattached to the tree. This is an easier and safer method than bucking branches on the ground (Fig. 16 & 17). 10. If you tire during limbing, STOP! Rest, then resume work. 11. Never change the positionof the feet or hands while in the midstof a cut. one that holdsthe mostchance of unforeseen injury. The danger of kickbackis most prevalent during limbingif the bar nose comes in contact with another branch or the side of the tree (see "Kickback Conditionsand Prevention'), Professionalloggershave developed various safe, efficientand effectivelimbingtechniqueswhich you must follow.The followinginstructionsare a few of the basic safe work habitsfor a chainsaw operatorwhile limbingor removingbranchesfrom a tree. 1. Before startingto limb, be sure the branch is on a safe side of the log, uphill,and on the side oppositeof any potentialmotion the cut branch mightmake (Fig. 14). FIGURE 14 RGURE 16 Overbucklng 2. Do not stand on a log while limbing.You may slip, fall or the log may roll. Maintainsure footing. 3; Never use the bar nose to cut branches. 4. Bendthe knees slightly.Positionthe rightleg behindthe leftside of the chain saw and the left leg forward and outward away from contact range of bar. Assume a comfortable stance with the feet spreadapart. CAUTION: If you change position, the bar must always be on the side of the tree oppositeyou. Keep the tree trunk between you and the bar. 5. Rest the chainsaw bodyon the trunk as much as possible(Fig. 15). RGURE 17 Underbucldng FIGURE 15 9 FIGURE 20 BUCKING (The cutting of • log Into sections): 1. Be alert to the stress and motionof logs. Always positionyourself to prevent the rollingof a cut log section or the stress forces withina log from actingagainst you. 2. Never stand directlybehind the chain saw when cutting.Stand to the left side of the cutting path of the chain saw to reduce the chances of injuryfrom kickback or a broken chain shootingbackwards towards you (Fig. 18, 1). 3. Bend the knees slightly,Assume a comfortable stance with the feet spread apart (Fig. 18, 2). 4. Keep the left elbow straightwhile cuffing (Fig. 18, 3). 5. Lock the thumb under the handlebar (Fig. 18, 4). WARNING: Logsand branches may be under stress or tension.Before cutting check to see if stress exists. If stressdoes exists, start to cut on the right side of the logor branch to prevent pinchingand possible kickbacksituationsso that the branch does not whip backand strike you. 9. RGURE 18 If the chain bar is pinchedwhile bucking, shut off the engine immediately. IMPORTANT! If the bar and chain become pinched, do not try to wrench or twistthe bar free. Move the |og intoanother position or lift up with a rod or lever (Fig. 21). RGURE 21 6. Set the bucking spikes firmlyagainstthe log. 7., When cutting firewood, place the log on a suitable supportsuch as a saw buck (Fig. 19). RGURE 19 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS The warrantyon this chain saw does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence.To receive full value from the warranty, operator mustmaintain chain saw as instructedin this manual. All items in the Maintenance section of this manual shouldbe checked at least once each season. 8. 1. SerVice more often when operating in dusty or dirtyconditions. 2. Once a year you should replace the spark plug and clean or replace the air filter. A new spark plug and e clean air filter assure proper air-fuel n_xtureand help your engine run better and |ast longer. Free hanging ends can be cut off without riskof bar pinching. But ifthe wood is not to splitor tear, make an undercut(underbucking,Fig. 20, 1) of about 1/3 the depth of the logdiameter, then apply the finishingcut (overbucking,Fig. 20, 2). 10 MAINTENANCE CHECK CHAIN SHARPNESS A sharp chain makes wood chips.A dull chain makes a sawdust powderand cuts slowly.Chain sharpening requiresspecial tools.You can purchase sharpening tools at Sear or go to a professionalchain sharpener. SCHEDULE FIGURE 22 REFILL BAR AND CHAIN OIL Your saw will use approximatelyone tank of bar oil for every tank of fuel mix. Always fillbar oil tank when you fill the fuel tank, For maximum bar and chain life,we recommend you use Craftsmanchainsaw bar oil. If Craftsman bar oilis not available,you may use a high quality bar and chain oil. CAUTION: Only use bar and chain oil; do not use motoroil.
