Kickback

Rotational Kickback can occur when the moving
chain contacts an object at the upper tip of the guide
bar. This contact can cause the chain to dig into the
object, which stops the chain for an instant. The
result is a lightning fast, reverse reaction which kicks
the guide bar up and back toward the operator.

If you choose to use a Mended fuel or its use is unavoidable, follow recommended precautions:
• Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your operator's manual
• Always shake the fuel mix before fueling the unit
• Drain the tank and run the engine dry before storing the
unit
Using Fuel Additives
The bottle of 2-cycle oil that came with your unit contains
a fuel additive which will help inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. It is recommended
that you use our 2-cycle oil with this unit.

Experience indicates that alcohol blended with fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine when in storage. To avoid
engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas
tank, start the engine and let it run until fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage can occur. See STORAGE instructions for additional information.

WARNING: Be sure to read the Oil and Fuel Information
.Section of this manuaH before you begin. If you do not
understand the oH and fueHinformation, do not attempt
to fueHyour unit. For more information contact your
HocaHSears service center at
1-800-4-MYHOMEC¢.

CHAIN

Be sure the chain brake is disengaged by pulling the
front hand guard back toward the front handle as far
as possible. The chain brake must be disengaged
before cutting with the saw.
WARNING: The chain brake must not move when the
engine runs at idle speed. If the chain brake moves at
idle speed, refer to CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT in
this manual. Avoid contact with the muffler. A hot muffler can cause serious burns.

GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL
The bar and chain require Hubrication. The chain oiler
provides continuous lubrication to the chain and guide
bar. Be sure to fill the bar oil tank when you fill the fuel
tank. (Capacity = 6.8 ft. oz.). Lack of oil will quickly
ruin the bar and chain. Too little oil will cause overheating with smoke coming from the chain and discoloration of the bar. For maximum guide bar and chain
life, we recommend you use Craftsman chain saw bar
oil. If Craftsman bar oil is not available, you may use a
good grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to obtain the
Craftsman brand. The oil output is automatically
metered during operation. Your saw will use approximately one tank of bar oil for every tank of fuel mix.
Always fill the bar oil tank when you fill the fuel tank.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

When pulling the starter rope, do not use the full
extent of the rope as this can cause the rope to break.
Do not let starter rope snap back. Hold the handle and
let the rope rewind slowly. For cold weather starting,
start the unit at FULL CHOKE; allow the engine to
warm up before squeezing the throttle trigger.
DO NOT attempt to cut material with the choke/fast idle
lever in the FULL CHOKE position.

Remove fuel cap slowly when refueling.

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a
good quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil.
We recommend Craftsman brand synthetic oil. Mix
gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1.40:1 ratio is
obtained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with 1 gallon of
unleaded gasoline. Included with this saw is a 3.2
ounce container of oil. Pour the entire contents of this
container into one gallon of gasoline to achieve the
proper fuel mixture. DO NOT use automotive oil or
boat oil. These oils will cause engine damage. When
mixing fuel, follow the instructions printed on the oil
container. Once oil is added to the gasoline, shake
container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules
relating to fuel before fueling your unit.

Automatic

Oiler

Your chain saw is equipped with an automatic gear driven
oilier system. The oilier automaticaHHydeHivers the proper
amount of oiHto the bar and chain. As the engine speed
increases, so does the oiHflow to the bar pad. The amount
of oiHflowing to the bar and chain may be changed by
turning the adjustment screw (D) with a smaHHshotted
screwdriver as shown in Fig. 11. Turn the screw cHockwise
to DECREASE oiHflow and countercHockwise to INCREASE
the flow.

Feiiing is the term for cutting down a tree. Smaii trees up
to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter are usuaiiy cut in a
singie cut. Larger trees require notch cuts. Notch cuts
determine the direction the tree wiii faii.

Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations,
notching (C) and making the felling cut (D) (Fig, 13),
Start making the upper notch cut (C) on the side of the
tree facing the felling direction (E). Be sure you don t make
the lower cut too deep into the trunk (Fig, 13).
The notch (C) should be deep enough to create a hinge (F)
of sufficient width and strength, The notch should be wide
enough to direct the fail of the tree for as long as possible
(Fig. 1 3).

Use wooden or piastic wedges (G) to prevent binding
the bar or chain (H) in the cut, Wedges also control
felling (Fig, 14),

When diameter of wood being cut is greater than the
bar iength, make 2 cuts as shown (Fig, 15),

stop engine, put chain saw down, and leave
area along retreat path (Fig. 12).

When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side.

NOTE: The best way to hold a log while bucking is to use
a sawhorse. When this is not possible, the log
should be raised and supported by the limb
stumps or by using supporting logs. Be sure the
log being cut is securely supported.

B. Keep the left arm as straight as possible.

BUCKmNG

Bucking is cutting a falbn log into lengths, Make sure you
have a good footing and stand uphill of the log when cutting on sbping ground. If possible, the bg shouM be supported so that the end to be cut off is not resting on the
ground. If the log is supported at both ends and you must
cut in the middle, make a downward cut halfway through
the log and then make the undercut. This will prevent the
log from pinching the bar and chain. Be careful that the
chain does not cut into the ground when bucking as this
causes rapid dulling of the chain.

TIGHT, the sprocket, bar, chain, and crankshaft bearings will wear more rapidly. Study
Fig. 29 for information concerning correct
cold tension (A), correct warm tension (B),
and as a guide for when saw chain needs
adjustment (C).

Taking the time to make needed adjustments to the saw
chain will result in improved cutting performance and prolonged chain life.
To adjust the saw chain:
1, Loosen the bar retaining nut(s) (B, Fig. 27). Hold nose
of guide bar up and turn adJustment screw (D)
CLOCKWISE to increase chain tension, Turning screw
COUNTERCLOCKWISE will decrease amount of tension on chain, Ensure the chain fits snugly all the way

TEST

WARNING:
ated carelessly,

Your chain saw is equipped with a Chain Brake@ that
reduces possibility of injury due to kickback. The brake is
activated if pressure is applied against brake lever when,
as in the event of kickback, operator's hand strikes the
lever, When the brake is activated, chain movement stops
abruptly.
To Test the Chain Brake(e:

Fig. 28

2, After making adjustment, and while still holding nose
of bar in the uppermost position, tighten the bar
retaining nuts securely. Chain has proper tension when
it has a snug fit all around and can be pulled around
by gloved hand,

1, The Chain Brake@ is DISENGAGED (chain can move)
when BRAKE LEVER IS PULLED BACK AND
LOCKED (A, Fig. 30),
2, The Chain Braked@is ENGAGED (chain is stopped)
when brake lever is in forward position. You should
not be able to move chain (B, Fig. 30).

NOTE: If chain is difficult to rotate on guide bar or if it
binds, too much tension has been applied, This
requires minor adjustment as follows:
A.

Loosen the bar retaining nuts so they are hand tight.
Decrease tension by turning the bar adjustment screw
COUNTERCLOCKWISE slowly. Move chain back and
forth on bar. Continue to adjust until chain rotates
freely, but fits snugly. Increase tension by turning bar
adjustment screw CLOCKWISE,

B, When saw chain has proper tension, hold nose of bar
in uppermost position and tighten the bar retaining
nuts securely.
