KICKBACK SPECiFiCS WARNING: K okbaokoan head to dangerous ioss of control of the chain saw and result in serious cause of most accidents. KICKBACK may occur when the NOSE or TIP of the guide bar touches an object, or when wood doses in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back toward the operator. Any of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw, which could result in serious personal injury. Rotationa_ 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. K_CKBACK SPECiFiCS Pinch Kickback Pinch kickback can occur when the saw chain is pinched aiong the bottom or top of the guide bar. When pinched on the bottom of the guide bar, it may puii the saw forward, away from the operator When pinched aiong he top of the guide bar, it may push the guide bar rapidiy back toward the operator. --m- A A : Puii --_B" B = Solid objects B F_g. 2 A A A = Kickback path B = Kickback reaction zone F_g. 1

When using aHcohoH- Mended fuel use fresh fuel Using Blended Fuels If you choose to use a Mended fuel or its use is unavoid- able, follow recommended precautions: â¢ Always use the fresh fuel mix explained in your opera- tor's manual â¢ Always shake the fuel mix before fueling the unit â¢ 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 mini- mize the formation of gum deposits. It is recommended that you use our 2-cycle oil with this unit. If unavailable, use a good 2-cycle oil designed for air-cooled engines along with a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL _ Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml.) of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the instructions on the container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the unit's fuel tank. To Obtain Correct Fuel Mix: Thoroughly mix the proper ratio of 2-cycle engine oil with unleaded gasoline in a separate fuel can. Use a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. Do not mix them directly in the engine fuel tank. See the table below for specific gas and oil mixing ratios. NOTE: One gallon (3.8 liters) of unleaded gasoline mixed with one 3.2 oz. (95 ml.) bottle of 2-cycle oil makes a 40:1 fuel/oil ratio. UNLEADED GAS 2 CYCLE OIL 1 GALLON US 3.2 FL OZ. (3.8 UTERS) (95 rnm) 1 LITER 25 mm MiXiNG RATIO - 40:1 I I^D IM N .

Operate this unit only WARNING: 0naweDventHated outdoor area. Carbon monoxide exhaust fumes can be UethaU in a confined area. Never operate the saw WAR N _ N G: without the bar and chain properUy instaUUed. BEFORE STARTING ENGINE 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 fueH information, do not attempt to fueH your unit. For more information contact your HocaH Sears service center at 1-800-4-MY- HOMECÂ¢. 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 over- heating with smoke coming from the chain and discol- oration 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 approxi- mately one tank of bar oil for every tank of fuel mix. Always fill the bar oil tank when you fill the fuel tank. FUEUNG THE ENGINE WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly when refueling. This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gaso- line. 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 thor- oughly mixed. Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit. IMPORTANT: Experience indicates that alcohol blended with fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and forma- tion 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 STOR- AGE instructions for additional information. CHAIN BRAKE 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 muf- fler can cause serious burns. iMPORTANT 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. 10
STOPPmNG mNSTRUCTmONS 1. Release the trigger and allow the engine to return to the idle speed. 2. Move the STOP switch up to the STOP position (Fig. 4). NOTE: For emergency stopping, push the Never of the chain brake lever/hand guard (C) forward and move the STOP switch up (Fig. 3, 4). STARTmNG A COLD ENGmNE To be sure to add the correctly mixed fuel to the fuel tank (A) and to add bar and chain oil to the oil tank (B). Make sure the chain brake is disengaged (C) before starting the unit. 1. Slide the STOP switch down (Fig. 4). The red choke meyer (H) has 3 positions: Positions 1, 2 and 3 (Fig. 6). 2. Fully press and release the primer bulb (G) 10 times, slowly. Some amount of fuel should be visible in the primer bulb (Fig. 5). If you can't see fuel in the bulb, press and release the bulb as many times as it takes before you can see fuel in it. 3. Move the red choke meyer (H) to Position 1 (Fig. 6). NOTE: This unit will not run with the lever in Position 1. 4. Place the saw on a firm flat surface. Hold saw firmly as shown (Fig. 7). NOTE: The unit uses the INOREDI-PULL TM starting system with MAX FIRE IGNITION TM, which signifi- cantly reduces the effort required to start the engine. You must pull the starter rope out far enough to hear the engine attempt to start. There is no need to pull the rope briskly-- there is no harsh resistance when pulling. Be aware that this starting method is vastly different from (and much easier than) what you may be used to. 5. Hold down safety trigger (E) and squeeze the throttle trigger (D). With thumb, press down on the throttle latch (F). Release trigger (D) first. This will lock the throttle into wide open position (Fig. 3). Pull the rope with a controlled and steady motion 4 times. 6. Then move the red choke lever (H) to Position 2, being sure to keep the throttle trigger locked. Hold saw firmly and pull rope until saw starts. This could take 4 more pulls, 7. Let the saw warm up for 10 seconds, Depress and release throttle trigger (D) for idle. 8. Move red choke lever (H) to Position 3. If engine fails to start, repeat these instructions. If engine does start, begin chain brake test described on next page. 9. If unit idles roughly, there is an idle adjustment access hole (L)(Fig. 8). Using a Phillips or slotted screwdriver, turn screw 1/4 to 1/2 turn clockwise (to the right). Unit should then idle properly (Fig. 9). NOTE: If chain turns while idling - turn screw back to the left until chain stops and unit continues to idle.

Never starve the bar and chain of oiL Running the saw with too HittHe oiH wiHH decrease cutting efficiency, shorten saw chain Hire, cause rapid duHHing of chain, and cause excessive wear of bar from overheating. Too HittHe oiH is evidenced by smoke, bar discoHoration or pitch buiHd-up. c Fig. 10 Automatic Oiler Your chain saw is equipped with an automatic gear driven oilier system. The oilier automaticaHHy deHivers the proper amount of oiH to the bar and chain. As the engine speed increases, so does the oiH flow to the bar pad. The amount of oiH flowing to the bar and chain may be changed by turning the adjustment screw (D) with a smaHH shotted screwdriver as shown in Fig. 11. Turn the screw cHockwise to DECREASE oiH flow and countercHockwise to INCREASE the flow. 12 Fig. 11
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. WARNING: and cleared as necessary before cuts are started, The retreat path should extend back and diagonally to the rear of the expected line of fall, as illustrated in Fig, 12, NOTE: Direction of fail (B) is controlled by the notching cut, Before any cuts are made, consider the loca- tion of larger branches and natural ban of the tree to determine the way the tree wiii fail. Fig. 12 1 Never walk in front of m WARNmNG: a tree that has been notched. When felling, keep at bast 2 tree lengths away from your fellow workers. Make the felling cut (D) from the other side of the tree and 1.5 - 2.0 inches (3-5 cm) above the edge of the notch (C) (Fig. 13). L__ 1/4 1! ', / C 3-5 cm O Fig. 13 Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave a hinge. The hinge guides the tree. If the trunk is completely cut through, control over the feHHing direction is Host. WAp_jl_j _, Before making the i ....... "_'" final cut, always recheck L the area for bystanders, animals or obstacles. Insert a wedge or felling lever in the cut well before the tree becomes unstable and starts to move, This wiii pre- vent the guidebar from binding in the feiiing cut if you have misjudged the falling direction, Make sure no bystanders have entered the range of the falling tree before you push it over. Felling Cut: 1. Use wooden or piastic wedges (G) to prevent binding the bar or chain (H) in the cut, Wedges also control felling (Fig, 14), 2. When diameter of wood being cut is greater than the bar iength, make 2 cuts as shown (Fig, 15), wures; notify the utility company g any cuts. 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). 13 stop engine, put chain saw down, and leave area along retreat path (Fig. 12).
Fig. 15 UMBmNG Limbing a tree is the process of removing the branches from a fallen tree. Do not remove supporting iimbs (A) untii after the Hog is bucked (cut) into bngths (Fig, 16). Branches under tension shouid be cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chain saw. When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side. 1. Log supported aiong entire bngth: Cut from top (over- buck), being carefui to avoid cutting into the ground (Fig. 17). 2. Log supported on 1 end: First, cut from bottom (underbuck) 1/3 diameter of Hog to avoid spiintering. Second, cut from above (overbuck) to meet first cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 18). 3. Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck 1/3 diame- ter of Hog to avoid spiintering. Second, underbuck to meet first cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 19). 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. Fig. 18 Fig. 16 WARNmNG: Never cut tree limbs while standing on a tree trunk. BUCKmNG Bucking is cutting a falbn log into lengths, Make sure you have a good footing and stand uphill of the log when cut- ting on sbping ground. If possible, the bg shouM be sup- ported 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. Fig. 17 14 Fig. 19 BUOKmNG USmNG A SAWHORSE For personal safety and ease of cutting, the correct posi- tion for vertical bucking is essential (Fig. 20). A.

REMOVING GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN . To ensure the bar and â¢ chain receive oil, ONLY USE THE ORiGiNAL STYLE BAR with the oil passage hob (A) as illustrated in Fig. 21. NOTE: Always wear heavy gloves when handling the saw chain. 1, Make sure the Chain Brake@ lever is pulled back into the DISENGAGED position (Fig. 21). Remove bar retaining nuts with supplied multi-purpose tool (Fig. 22). 2, Remove chain brake cover (C, Fig. 22) and outer guide bar plate 0, Fig. 27) by pulling straight out (Fig. 22). 3, Slide bar off the two bar bolts and remove chain (Fig. 23), A REPLACING GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN Always use protective] WARNING: gloves when handling / the saw chain. J ! 1. Spread chain out in a loop with cutting edges (E) pointing CLOCKWISE around loop (Fig. 24}. 2. Slip the chain around the sprocket (F) behind the clutch (G). Make sure the links fit between the sprock- et teeth (Fig. 25). 3. Place the slotted end of the guide bar over the two bar bolts (D, Fig. 23). Be sure adjusting tang (J, Fig. 23) is in lower adjusting hob of the bar. 4. Guide the drive links into the groove (H) and around the end of the bar (Fig. 25). 5. The chain will be tight so you will have to rotate the clutch clockwise by hand so the chain engages the bar sprocket. 6. Replace the outer guide bar plate (J) so the bent edges (top and bottom) are directed away from the chain (Fig. 27). 7. Install the Chain Brake@ cover (Fig. 27). Make sure the chain does not slip off of the bar. Install the 2 bar retaining nuts hand tight and follow instructions in Saw Chain Tension Adjustment. NOTE: The guide bar retaining nuts are installed only hand tight at this point because saw chain adjust- ment is required. Follow instructions in Saw Chain Tension AdJustment. Fig. 22 Fig. 25 Fig. 23 B Fig. 27 16
SAW CHAroN TENSION ADJUSTMENT WARNmNG: Ak, vays use protective gloves when handling the saw chain_ Proper tension of saw chain is extremely important and must be checked before starting, as well as during any cutting operation, Taking the time to make needed adjustments to the saw chain will result in improved cutting performance and pro- longed 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 ten- sion on chain, Ensure the chain fits snugly all the way around the guide bar (Fig. 28), 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, 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. future adjustments will lengthen quickly. If saw chain is TOO LOOSE oF TOO TIGHT, the sprocket, bar, chain, and crank- shaft 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). CHAIN BRAKE MECHANICAL 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: 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). A B n_ Fig. 30 Fig. 29 17
MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS Check a Sears Service Center for repHacement of dam- aged or worn parts. NOTE: It is normaH for a small amount of oiH to appear under the saw after the engine stops. Do not confuse this with a HeaMng oiH tank. â¢ STOP Switch - Ensure STOP switch functions properHy by moving the switch up to the STOP position. Make sure the engine stops; then restart engine and continue. â¢ FueH Tank - Do not use saw if fueH tank shows signs of damage or Heaks. OiH Tank - Do not use saw if oiH tank shows signs of damage or Heaks. CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS AND PARTS â¢ Chain Brake Nuts â¢ Chain â¢ MuffHer â¢ CyHinder ShieHd â¢ Air Nter cover â¢ HandHe Screws â¢ Vibration Mounts â¢ Starter Housing â¢ Front Hand Guard AiR FILTER CAUTION" Never operate saw â¢ without the air filter. Dust and dirt wil be drawn into engine and damage it. Keep the air filter clean. 1. Remove the top cover (A) by loosening the cover retaining screws. Cover will lift off (Fig. 31). 2. Clean air filter. Wash filter in clean, warm, soapy water. Rinse in clear, cool water. Air dry completely. NOTE: It is advisable to have a supply of spare filters. 3. Install air filter. Install engine / air filter cover. Make sure cover fits properly. Tighten the cover retaining screws securely. B A Fig. 31 FUEL FILTER Never operate saw without the fuel filter. The fuel filter should be replaced after each 10 hours of use. Drain fuel tank before changing. To empty fuel tank before removing fuel filter. 1. Pull fuel filter (A) out of tank with a bent wire (B) or long needle nosed pliers. Disconnect filter and discard (Fig. 32). NOTE: Do not pull hose completely out of tank. 2. Install a new fuel filter on hose and push hose and fil- ter assembly back into tank so filter is positioned in front right corner. 3. Fill tank with fresh fuel/oil mixture. See Of and Fuel information. Install fuel cap. B Fig. 32 18
OraL FILTER NOTE: Drain oil reservoir before changing filter 1. Take the bottom plate off then use a wire with a hook (A) and puii oii fiiter (B) from reservoir. Remove old fiiter and replace. 2. Put filter and oil line back into oil reservoir so filter is at Bottom of reservoir. Fig. 33 SPARK ARRESTER SCREEN NOTE: A clogged spark arrester screen will dramatically reduce engine performance. 1. To flatten the corners of the lock plate to be able to access the retaining nuts. Remove 2 muffler retaining nuts (E), Lock plate (F) and muffler cover(G) (Fig. 34). 2. Remove spark attester screen (H) from the metal baffle (J). Replace screen with new one. 3. Reassemble the muffler components and tighten nuts securely. _ .... G Fig. 34 SPARK PLUG NOTE: For efficient operation of saw engine, spark plug must be kept clean and properly gapped. 1. Push STOP switch up. 2. Remove top Cover. Disconnect the wire connector from the spark plug by pulling and twisting at the same time (Fig. 35). 3. Remove spark plug with spark plug socket wrench. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER TOOL. WARNmNG" Do not sand Mast, â¢ scrape or cban ebctrodes. Grit in the engine could damage the cylinder. 4. Check electrode gaps with wire feeler gauge and set gaps to .025" (.635mm) if necessary. 5. Reinstall a new spark plug (champion RDJ8J or equiv- alent).

GU(DE BAR MA(NTENANCE Frequent lubrication of the guide bar (railed bar which supports and carries the saw chain) sprocket tip is required. Proper maintenance of the guide bar, as explained in this section, is essential to keep your saw in good working condition, Fig. 37 To (ubr(cate the sprocket t(p: 1. Move the STOP sw(tch up. NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the saw chain to lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip, Lubrication can be done on thejob, 2, Clean the guide bar sprocket tip, 3, Using the Lube Gun (not included), insert tip of lube gun unto the lubrication hole and inject grease until it appears at outside edge of sprocket tip (Fig. 37}, 4, Rotate saw chain by hand. Repeat lubrication procedure until the entire sprocket tip has been greased, SAW CHAIN / BAR LUBR(CAT(ON Adequate (ubr(cation of the saw chain (s essential at a(( times to minimize friction with the guide bar, Never starve the bar and chain of oil, Running the saw with too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain, and cause excessive wear of bar from overheating. Too little oil is evi- denced by smoke, bar discoloration or pitch build-up, NOTE: Saw chain stretches during use, particularly when it is new, and it will occasionally be necessary to adjust and tighten it. New chain will require adjust- ment after about 5 minutes of operation, AUTOMATIC O(LER Refer to Section Other hstructions: Automatic OUer for information on the automatic oiler, 20
GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE: Most guide bar probbms can be prevented merely by keeping the chain saw weHH maintained, insufficient guide bar lubrication and operating the saw with chain that is too tight wiHH contribute to rapid bar wear, To help minimize bar wear, the foHHowing guide bar mainte- nance procedures are recommended, BAR WEAR - Turn guide bar frequently at regular intervals (for example, after 5 hours of use), to ensure even wear on top and bottom of bar, BAR GROOVES (B) Bar grooves (or rails which support and carry the chain) should be cleaned if saw has been used heavily or if saw chain appears dirty, Raid should always be cbaned every time saw chain is removed,(fig, 38) OIL PASSAGES (A) Oil passages on the bar should be cleaned to ensure proper lubrication of the bar and chain during operation, This can be done using a soft wire small enough to insert into the oil discharge hob.(fig, 38) Chain Lubrication Always make sure the automatic oiler system is working properly. Keep the oil reservoir filled with Chain, Bar and Sprocket Oil, Adequate lubrication of the bar and chain during cutting oper- ations is essential to minimize friction with the guide bar, Never starve the bar and chain of lubricating oil, Running the saw dry or with too little oil will decrease cutting effi- ciency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain, and Head to excessive wear of bar from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by smoke or bar discoloration, Chain Sharpening Chain sharpening requires special tools to ensure that cut- ters are sharpened at the correct angle and depth, For the inexperienced chain saw user, we recommend that the saw chain be professionally sharpened by the nearest Authorized Service Center, If you feel comfortable sharp- ening your own saw chain, special tools are available from your Authorized Service Center, Fig. 38 NOTE: The condition of the oil passages can be easily' checked, if the passages are clear, the chain will automatically give off a spray of oil within seconds of starting the saw, Your saw is equipped with an automatic oiler system, CHAroN MAINTENANCE Chain Tension Check the chain tension frequently and adjust as often as necessary to keep the chain snug on the bar, but loose enough to be pulled around by hand, Breaking in a New Saw Chain A new chain and bar will need chain readjustment after as few as 5 cuts, This is normal during the break-in period, and the interval between future adjustments will begin to lengthen quickly.
