Use only Craftsman accessories and replacement parts as recommended.

Never modify your saw.

• Maintain chain saw with care.

• Keep unit sharp and clean for better and safer performance.

• Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

• Check for damaged parts. Before further use of the chain saw, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a Sears Service Center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in the operator's manual.

• When not in use, chain saws should be stored in a dry, high or locked-up place out of the reach of children.

• When storing saw, use a scabbard or carrying case.

HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION

• Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the saw.

• Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame in the areas where fuel is mixed or poured.

• Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area and use an approved, marked container for all fuel purposes.

GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK

Follow all safety rules to help avoid kickback and other forces which can nents or the removal of safety devices result in serious injury.

%_ _ Kickback

Path

,_WARNING"

Avoid kickback which can result in serious injury.

Kickback is the backward, upward or sudden forward motion of the guide bar occurring when the saw chain near the upper tip of the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or branch, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contacting a foreign object in the wood can also result in loss of chain saw control.

• 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.

• Pinch-Kickback can occur when the the wood closes in and pinches the moving saw chain in the cut along the top of the guide bar and the saw chain is suddenly stopped.

This sudden stopping of the chain results in a reversal of the chain force used to cut wood and causes the saw to move in the opposite direction of the chain rotation. The saw is driven straight back toward the operator.

• Pull-In can occur when the moving chain contacts a foreign object in the wood in the cut along the bottom of the guide bar and the saw chain is suddenly stopped. This sudden stopping pulls the saw forward and away from the operator and could easily cause the operator to lose control of the saw.

REDUCE THE CHANCE OF

KICKBACK

• Recognize that kickback can happen. With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce the element of surprise which contributes to accidents.

• Never let the moving chain contact any object at the tip of the guide bar.

• Keep the working area free from obstructions such as other trees, branches, rocks, fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid any obstruction that your saw chain could hit while you are cutting.

• When cutting a branch, do not let the guide bar contact branch or other objects around it.

• Keep saw chain sharp and properly tensioned.

A loose or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback. Follow manufacturer's chain sharpening and maintenance instructions.

Check tension at regular intervals, but never with the engine running.

Make sure the bar nuts are securely tightened.

• Begin and continue cutting at full speed.

If the chain is moving at a slower speed, there is greater chance of kickback occurring.

• Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.

• Do not attempt cuts starting with the tip of the bar (plunge cuts).

• Watch for shifting logs or other forces that could close a cut and pinch or fall into chain.

• Use the Reduced-Kickback Guide

Bar and Low-Kickback fied for your saw.

Avoid Pinch-Kickback:

Chain speci-

• Be extremely aware of situations or obstructions that can cause material to pinch the top of or otherwise stop the chain.

• Do not cut more than one log at a time.

• Do not twist the saw as the bar is withdrawn from an undercut when bucking.

Avoid Pull-In:

• Always begin cutting with the engine at full speed and the saw housing against wood.

• Use wedges made of plastic or wood.

Never use metal to hold the cut open.

Elbow locked

Never reverse hand positions

• A good, firm grip on the saw with both hands will help you maintain control.

Don't let go. Grip the rear handle with your right hand whether you are right or left handed. Wrap the fingers of your left hand over and around the front handlebar, and your left thumb under the front handlebar.

Keep your left arm straight with the elbow locked.

• Position your left hand on the front handlebar so it is in a straight line with your right hand on the rear handle when making bucking cuts.

Never reverse right and left hand positions for any type of cutting.

• Stand with your weight evenly balanced on both feet.

• Do not overreach.

You could be drawn or thrown off balance and lose control of the saw.

• Do not cut above shoulder height. It is difficult to maintain control of saw above shoulder height.

KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES

_,WARNING: The following features are included on your saw to help reduce the hazard of kickback; however, such features will not totally eliminate this danger. Do not rely only on safety devices. Follow all safety rules to help avoid kickback and other forces which can result in serious injury.

• Front Hand Guard, designed to reduce the chance of your left hand contacting the chain if your hand slips off the front handlebar.

• Position of front and rear handlebars, designed with distance between handles and "in-line" with each other. The spread and "in-line" position of the hands provided by this design work together to give balance and resistance in controlling the pivot of the saw back toward the operator if kickback occurs.

• Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar, designed with a small radius tip which

SUME THAT THE CHAIN BRAKE WILL

PROTECT YOU IN THE EVENT OF A

KICKBACK. Kickback is a lightning fast action which throws the bar and rotating chain back and up toward the operator. Kickback can be caused by allowing contact of the bar tip in the danger zone with any hard object.

Kickback can also be caused by pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar. This action may push the guide bar rapidly back toward the operator.

Either of these events may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious injury or even death.

DO NOT RELY UPON ANY

OF THE DEVICES BUILT INTO YOUR

SAW. YOU SHOULD USE THE SAW

PROPERLY AND CAREFULLY TO AVOID

KICKBACK. Reduced-kickback guide bars and low-kickback saw chains reduce the chance and magnitude of kickback and are recommended.

CHAIN BRAKE

The CHAIN BRAKE is a device designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs. The chain brake activates automatically in the event of kickback. The chain brake activates manually if the front hand guard is pushed forward. The chain brake is disengaged by pulling the front hand guard back toward the front handle as far as possible.

CHAIN TENSION

It is normal for a new chain to stretch during the first 15 minutes of operation.

You should check your chain tension frequently. See CHAIN TENSION under the MAINTENANCE section.

m_WARNING: during muffler

BEFORE combustible orfueltodoso.

ENGINE

_IkWARNING: Be sure to read the fuel handling information in the safety rules section of this manual before you begin. If you do not understand the fuel handling information do not attempt to fuel your unit. Seek help from someone that does understand the information or call the customer assistance help line at 1-800-235-5878.

GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL

The bar and chain require lubrication.

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 shown by smoke coming from the chain and/or 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 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.

FUELING ENGINE

,_IkWARNING:

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 ata ratio of 40:1. A40:1 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 1 gallon of gasoline to achieve the proper fuel mixture.

DO NOT USE automotive 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.

IMPORTANT

Experience indicates that alcoholblended 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 while 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 the 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 may occur.

See the STORAGE section for additional information

CHAIN BRAKE

Ensure 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.

_ILWARNING: The chain must not move when the engine runs at idle speed.

If the chain moves at idle speed refer to CARBURETOR ADJUST-

MENT within this manual.

Avoid contact with the muffler. A hot muffler can cause serious burns.

STOPPING YOUR ENGINE

• Release the throttle trigger.

• Move ON/STOP switch to the STOP position.

,_WARNING: When performing the following procedure, the engine must be turned off.

Grip the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand.

Hold the chain saw approximately 14 inches (35 cm) above a stump or other wooden surface. Release your grip on the front handle and use the weight of the saw to let the top of the guide bar fall forward and contact the stump.

When the tip of the bar hits the stump, the brake should activate.

OPERATING TIPS

• Check chain tension before first use and after 1 minute of operation.

See

CHAIN TENSION in the MAINTENANCE section.

• Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics, masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.

• Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign object. Inspect the saw and repair or replace parts as necessary.

• Keep the chain out of dirt and sand.

Even a small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain and thus increase the possibility of kickback.

• Practice cutting a few small logs using the following techniques to get the "feel" of using your saw before you begin a major sawing operation.

• Squeeze the throttle trigger and allow the engine to reach full speed before cutting.

• Begin cutting with the saw frame against the log.

• Keep the engine at full speed the entire time you are cutting.

• AIIowthe chain to cut for you. Exert only light downward pressure.

If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or engine can result.

• Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the engine to idle. Ifyou run the saw at full throttle without a cutting load, unnecessary wear can occur to the chain, bar, and engine.

To maxi-

mize operating

efficiency,

do not run the engine for longer than 30 seconds at a time at full throttle,

• To avoid losing control when cut is complete, do not put pressure on saw at end of cut.

• Stop the engine before setting the saw down after cutting.

TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES

_EWARNING: Check for broken or dead branches which can fall while cutting causing serious injury. Do not cut near buildings or electrical wires if you do not know the direction of tree fall, nor cut at night since you will not be ale to see well, nor during bad weather such as rain, snow, or strong winds, etc.

If the tree makes contact with any utility line, the utility company should be notified immediately.

• Carefully plan your sawing operation in advance.

• Clear the work area. You need a clear area all around the tree so you can have secure footing.

• The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.

10

• Study the natural conditions that can cause the tree to fall in a particular direction.

Natural conditions that can cause a tree to fall in a particular direction include:

• The wind direction and speed.

• The lean of the tree. The lean of a tree might not be apparent due to uneven or sloping terrain. Use a plumb or level to determine the direction of tree lean.

• Weight and branches on one side.

• Surrounding trees and obstacles.

Look for decay and rot. If the trunk is rotted, it can snap and fall toward the operator.

Check for broken or dead branches which can fall on you while cutting.

Make sure there is enough room for the tree to fall. Maintain a distance of 2-1/2tree lengths from the nearest person or other objects. Engine noise can drown out a warning call.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from the tree where cuts are to be made.

Plan a clear retreat path to the rear and diagonal to the line of fall.

Final (felling) cut here, 2 inches

(5 cm) above center of notch.

After removing the wood from the notch, make the felling cut on the opposite side of the notch. This is done by making a cut about two inches (5 cm) higher than the center of the notch. This will leave enough uncut wood between the felling cut and the notch to form a hinge.

This hinge will help prevent the tree from falling in the wrong direction.

FELLING LARGE TREES

(6 inches (15 cm) in diameter or larger)

The notch method is used to fell 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 tree, the tree will tend to fall into the notch.

NOTE: If the tree has large buttress roots, remove them before making the notch. If using saw to remove buttress roots, keep saw chain from contacting ground to prevent dulling of the chain.

NOTCH CUT AND FELLING THE

TREE

• Make notch cut by cutting the top of the notch first. Cut through 1/3 of the diameter of the tree. Next complete the notch by cutting the bottom of the notch. See illustration.

Once the notch is cut remove the notch of wood from the tree.

Closing of notch

NOTE:

Before felling cut is complete, use wedges to open the cut if necessary to control the direction of fall. To avoid kickback and chain damage, use wood or plastic wedges, but never steel or iron wedges.

• Be alert to signs that the tree is ready to fall: cracking sounds, widening of the felling cut, or movement in the upper branches.

• As tree starts to fall, stop saw, put it down, and get away quickly on your planned retreat path.

• DO NOT cut down a partially fallen tree with your saw. Be extremely cautious with partially fallen trees that may be poorly supported.

When a tree doesn't fall completely, set the saw aside and pull down the tree with a cable winch, block and tackle, or tractor.

11

CUTTING A FALLEN TREE

(BUCKING)

Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree to the desired log size.

_IkWARNING: Do not stand on the log being cut.

Any portion can roll causing loss of footing and control.

Do not stand downhill of the log being cut.

IMPORTANT POINTS

• Cut only one log at a time.

• Cut shattered wood very carefully; sharp pieces of wood could be flung toward operator.

• Use a sawhorse to cut small logs.

Never allow another person to hold the log while cutting and never hold the log with your leg or foot.

• Do not cut in an area where logs, limbs, and roots are tangled such as in a blown down area.

Drag the logs into a clear area before cutting by pulling out exposed and cleared logs first.

TYPES OF CUTTING USED FOR

BUCKING

_/L WARNING: If saw becomes pinched or hung in a log, don't try to force it out. You can lose control of the saw resulting in injury and/or damage to the saw.

Stop the saw, drive a wedge of plastic or wood into the cut until the saw can be removed easily.

Restart the saw and carefully 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.

Use a wedge

firmly and maintain control.

The saw will tend to push back toward you.

_ILWARNING: Neverturn saw upside down to undercut.

The saw cannot be controlled in this position.

Always make your first cut on the compression side of the log.

The compression side of the log is where the pressure of the log's weight is concentrated.

• Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly gripped on the saw. Maintain secure footing and balance.

• Watch out for springpoles.

Springpoles are small size limbs which can catch the saw chain and whip toward you or pull you off balance. Use extreme caution when cutting small size limbs or slender material.

• Be alert for springback.

Watch out for branches that are bent or under pressure.

Avoid being struck by the branch or the saw when the tension in the wood fibers is released.

• Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear branches out of the way to avoid tripping over them.

LIMBING

• Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only then can limbing be done safely and properly.

• Leave the larger limbs underneath the felled tree to support the tree as you work.

• Start at the base of the felled tree and work toward the top, cutting branches and limbs. Remove small limbs with one cut.

• Keep the tree between you and the chain.

Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch you are cutting.

• Remove larger, supporting branches with the cutting techniques described in BUCKING WITHOUT A SUPPORT

• Always use an overcut to cut small and freely hanging limbs. Undercutting could cause limbs to fall and pinch the saw.

PRUNING

_IkWARNING: Limit pruning to limbs shoulder height or below. Do not cut if branches are higher than your shoulder.

Get a professional to do the job.

• Make your first cut 1/3 of the way through the bottom of the limb.

• Next make a 2nd cut all the way through the limb. Then cut a third overcut leaving a 1 to 2 inch (2.5 to 5 cm) collar from the truck of the tree.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this unit does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence.

To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain unit as instructed in this manual. Various adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your unit.

• Once a year, replace the spark plug, air filter, and check guide bar and chain for wear. A new spark plug and air filter assures proper air-fuel mixture and helps your engine run better and last longer.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR

WORN PARTS

Contact your Sears Service Center for replacement of damaged or worn parts.

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of oil to appear under the saw after engine stops. Do not confuse this with a leaking oil tank.

• ON/STOP Switch - Ensure ON/STOP switch functions properly by moving the switch to the STOP position. Make sure engine stops; then restart engine and continue.

• Fuel Tank - Do not use saw if fuel tank shows signs of damage or leaks.

6. While lifting tip of guide bar, tighten bar nuts securely with the bar tool.

CHECK CHAIN SHARPNESS

A sharp chain makes wood chips. A dull chain makes a sawdust powder and cuts slowly. See CHAIN SHARP-

ENING.

CHECK GUIDE BAR

Conditions which require guide bar maintenance:

• Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.

• Saw has to be forced through the cut.

• Inadequate supply of oil to bar/chain.

Check the condition of guide bar each time chain is sharpened.

A worn guide bar will damage the chain and make cutting difficult.

After each use, ensure ON/STOP switch is in the STOP position, then clean all sawdust from the guide bar and sprocket hole.

To maintain guide bar:

• Move ON/STOP switch to STOR

• Loosen and remove bar nuts and clutch cover. Remove bar and chain from saw.

• Clean the oil holes and bar groove after each 5 hours of operation.
