right side of your body.
(Fig. 21)
• Do not operate the product when you are fatigued, ill
or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
• Do not use the product if you cannot receive aid if
an accident occurs. Make others aware that you will
operate the product before you start the product.
• Do not turn with the product before you make sure
that no persons or animals are in the safety area.
• Remove all unwanted materials from the work area
before you start. If the chain hits an object, the object
can eject and cause injury or damage. Unwanted
material can wind around the chain and cause
damage.
• Do not use the product in bad weather, such as fog,
rain, strong winds, risk of lightning or other weather
conditions. Dangerous conditions, such as slippery
surfaces, can occur because of bad weather.
• Make sure that you can move freely and work in a
stable position.
• Make sure that you cannot fall when you use the
product. Do not tilt when you operate the product.
• Always hold the product with your two hands. Hold
the front handle with your left hand and the rear
handle with your right hand. Hold the product on the
right side of your body.
• The saw chain starts to rotate if the choke control is
in the choke position when the engine starts.
• Stop the engine before you move the product.
• Do not put down the product with the engine on.
• Before you remove the unwanted materials from the
product, stop the engine. Let the chain stop before
you or an aid remove the cut material.
• Do not operate this product in a tree. Operation of
the product while up in a tree may result in personal
injury.
(Fig. 22)
• The chain brake must be engaged when the product
is started to decrease the risk that the saw chain
touches you during start.
(Fig. 23)
• A kickback can cause serious injury or death to the
operator or others. To decrease the risk you must
know the causes of kickback and how to prevent
them.
• Obey all safety instructions to decrease the risk of
kickback and other forces which can cause serious
injury or death.
• Adjust the saw chain tension regularly to make sure
that the saw chain does not slack. A slack saw chain
may jump off and cause serious injury or death.
• Do not fell trees using an incorrect procedure. This
can cause injury to persons, hit a utility line or cause
damage to property.
• The operator should remain on the uphill side of the
terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill
after it is felled.
(Fig. 24)
- Plan and prepare your path of retreat before
you start to cut. Your path of retreat must be
approximately 135 degrees away from the felling
direction.
• 1. The danger zone
• 2. The path of retreat
• 3. The felling direction
(Fig. 25)
• Always stop the engine before you move the
product.
• Make sure you firmly plant your feet on the ground
and distribute your weight evenly.
(Fig. 26)
• Only operate the product with your feet on stable
ground. Without stable ground, operation can cause
serious injury or death to the operator or others. Do
not do operate the product on a ladder or in a tree.
(Fig. 27)
Kickbacks, skating, bouncing and dropping
Different forces can have an effect on the safe control of
the product.
• Skating is when the guide bar moves quickly across
the wood.
• Bouncing is when the guide bar lifts off the wood and
touches it again and again.
• Dropping is when the product drops down after the
cut is made. This can cause the moving chain to
touch a part of the body or other objects, causing
injury or damage.
• Kickback is when the end of the guide bar touches
objects and moves rearward, up or suddenly
forward. Kickback also occurs when the wood closes
in and pinches the saw chain during the cut. Loss of
control can result if the product touches an object in
wood.
(Fig. 28)
• Rotational Kickback can occur when the moving
chain touches an object at the top of the guide
bar. This can cause the chain to bury into the
object and cause the chain to stop immediately.
The result is a very fast, reverse reaction that
moves the guide bar up and rearward in the
direction of the operator.
(Fig. 29)
• Pinch-Kickback can occur when the saw chain
suddenly stops during the cut. The wood closes
in and pinches the moving saw chain along the
top of the guide bar. The sudden stop of the
chain reverses the chain force and causes the
product to move in the opposite direction of the
turn of the chain. The product moves rearward in
the direction of the operator.
(Fig. 30)
• Pull-In can occur when the saw chain suddenly
stops when the moving chain touches an object
in the wood along the bottom of the guide bar.
The sudden stop pulls the product forward and
away from the operator, which can easily cause
the loss of control of the product by the operator.
(Fig. 31)
Make sure that you understand the different forces
and how to prevent them before you operate the
product. See To prevent kickbacks, skating, bouncing
and dropping on page 13.
To prevent kickbacks, skating, bouncing and
dropping
• While the motor runs, make sure to hold the product
tightly. Keep your right hand on the rear handle and
the left hand on the front handle. Tightly hold with
thumbs and fingers around the handles. Do not let go.
• Keep control of the product during the cut and after
the wood falls to the ground. Do not let the weight of
the product drop down after the cut is made.
• Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is
free from blockage. Do not let the nose of the guide
bar touch a log, branch or other blockages while you
operate the product. (Fig. 32)
• Cut at high motor speeds.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
(Fig. 33)
• Obey the sharpening and maintenance instructions
by the manufacturer for the saw chain.
• Only use replacement guide bars and saw chains
specified by the manufacturer.
• The risk of kickback is increased if the depth gauge
is set too large.
Personal protective equipment

To use a spiked bumper
A spiked bumper holds the wood as you cut. The spiked
bumper is a pivot between the engine body and the
guide bar.
1. Put the lower end of the spiked bumper at the
correct felling hinge width.
2. Push against the front handle with your left hand and
lift the rear handle with your right hand.
3. Cut until you get the correct felling hinge width.
Note: The felling hinge must have an equal
thickness.
4. Cut more than half of the diameter and then put the
felling wedge into the saw cut.
To fell a tree
-
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples and
wire from the tree. -
Make a notch 1/3 the diameter of the tree,
perpendicular to the direction of the fall. (Fig. 45) -
Make the lower horizontal notch cut. This helps
prevent pinching the saw chain or the guide bar
when the second notch is made. -
Make the felling back cut (X) a minimum of 50 mm
(2 in) higher than the horizontal notch cut. Keep the
felling back cut parallel to the horizontal notching cut
so sufficient wood is left to be a hinge. Do not cut
through the hinge. The hinge wood keeps the tree
from twisting and falling in the incorrect direction.
(Fig. 46) and (Fig. 47) -
As the felling back cut nears the hinge, the tree
starts to fall. Make sure that the tree can fall in the
correct direction and not rock rearward and pinch the
saw chain. Stop the cut before the felling back cut
is complete to prevent this. Use wedges of wood or
plastic to open the cut and let the tree fall along the
necessary line of fall. (Fig. 48) -
When the tree starts to fall, remove the product from
the cut. Stop the motor, put the product down and
use the planned escape path. Be careful of limbs
falling from above and monitor your footing. (Fig. 49)
To limb a tree
1. Use larger limbs to hold the log off the ground.
2. Remove small limbs in one cut. (Fig. 50)
3. Cut branches that have tension from the bottom to
the top to prevent pinching the saw chain or the
guide bar.
To buck a log
CAUTION: Do not let the saw chain
touch the ground.
-
If the log has support along its full length, cut from
the top of the log (known as overbucking). (Fig. 51) -
If the log has support on one end, cut 1/3
the diameter from below the log (known as
underbucking). -
If the log has support on the two ends, cut 1/3
the diameter from the top. Complete the cut by
underbucking the lower 2/3 of the log to touch the
first cut. (Fig. 52) -
If you buck a log on a slope, always stay on the
uphill side of the log. Cut through the log while you
keep complete control of the product. Then release
the cutting pressure near the end of the cut while
tightly holding the rear handle and front handle. (Fig.

• Use a wire brush to clean the spark arrester mesh.
(Fig. 57)
To do maintenance on the spark plug
CAUTION: Use the recommended
spark plug. Make sure that the replacement
is the same as the manufacturer supplied
part. An incorrect spark plug can cause
damage to the product.
1. If the product is hard to start or operate, examine
the spark plug for unwanted materials. To decrease
the risk of unwanted material on the spark plug
electrodes:
a) make sure that the idle speed is correctly
adjusted.
b) make sure that the fuel mixture is correct.
c) make sure that the air filter is clean.
2. Clean the spark plug if it is dirty. Make sure that the
electrode gap is correct. (Fig. 59)
3. Replace the spark plug when it is necessary.
To clean the air filter
1. Remove the air filter cover and remove the air filter.
(Fig. 60)
2. Clean the air filter with warm soap water. Make sure
that the air filter is dry before you install it.
3. Replace the air filter if it is too dirty to fully clean it.
Always replace a damaged air filter.
To sharpen the saw chain
The cutter
The cutting part of the saw chain is called the cutter and
consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge (B).
The cutters cutting depth is determined by the difference
in height between the two, the depth gauge setting (C).
(Fig. 61)
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four
important factors to remember:
• Filing angle.
(Fig. 62)
• Cutting angle.
(Fig. 63)
• File position.
(Fig. 64)
• Round file diameter.
(Fig. 65)
To sharpen the cutting teeth
Use a round file and a file gauge to sharpen the cutting
teeth. See Saw chain filing and saw chain combinations
on page 22 for information on the recommended
dimension of the file and gauge for the saw chain
installed on your product.
(Fig. 66)
1. Make sure that the saw chain has the correct
tension. A chain without the correct tension moves
to one side does and not sharpen correctly.
2. Use the file on all the teeth on one side. Then use
the file on the cutting teeth from the inner face and
decrease the pressure in the reverse direction.
3. Turn the product on the opposite side and use the
file on the teeth.
4. Use the file to keep all teeth the same length.
Replace a worn saw chain when the length of the
cutting teeth decreases to 4 mm (5/32 in).
To adjust the depth gauge setting
Sharpen the cutting teeth before you adjust the depth
gauge setting. See To sharpen the cutting teeth on page
19. When you sharpen the cutting tooth (A), the depth
gauge setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal
cutting performance, the depth gauge (B) has to be filed
down to achieve the recommended depth gauge setting.
See Saw chain filing and saw chain combinations on
page 22 to find the correct depth gauge setting for your
particular chain.
(Fig. 67)
(Fig. 68)
Note: This recommendation assumes that the length
of the cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
Use a flat file and depth gauge tool to adjust the depth
gauge.
1. Put the depth gauge tool above the saw chain.
Detailed information regarding how to use the depth
gauge tool will be found on the package of the depth
gauge tool.
2. Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge
that protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The
depth gauge setting is correct when you no longer
feel resistance as you draw the file along the depth
gauge tool.
To tension the saw chain
Note: Check the tension of a new saw chain
frequently during its running-in period.
-
Loosen the guide bar nuts that hold the clutch cover.
Use the combination wrench. (Fig. 69) -
Tighten the guide bar nuts by hand as tight as you
can. -
Lift the top of the guide bar and extend the saw
chain by tightening the chain tensioning screw. Use
the combination wrench. Tighten the saw chain until
it does not hang down from the bottom of the guide
bar. (Fig. 70) -
Tighten the guide bar nuts using the combination
wrench and lift the tip of the guide bar at the same
time. (Fig. 71) -
Make sure that you can pull the saw chain round
freely by hand and that it does not sag. (Fig. 72)
To lubricate the cutting equipment
To do a check of the saw chain lubrication
Do a check of the chain saw lubrication each time you
refuel.
-
Start the product and let it run at 3/4 speed. Point the
nose of the guide bar at a light color surface almost
20 cm (8 in) away. -
After 1 minute of running, a line of oil shows on the
light surface. -
If you cannot see the line of oil after 1 minute, clean
the oil channel in the guide bar. Clean the groove
in the edge of the guide bar. Make sure the guide
bar nose sprocket turns freely and that there are no
blockages in the lubrication hole. Clean and lubricate
the tip sprocket. -
Start the product and let it run at 3/4 speed. Point the
nose of the bar at a light color surface almost 20 cm
