SAFETY
WARNINGS
BEFORE OPERATING CHAIN
SAW
1. Read and understand this owner’s
manual before operating chain saw.
2. Use chain saw for cutting wood only. Do
not use for cutting any non-wood items.
3. Only well-instructed adults should op-
erate chain saw. Never allow children
to operate chain saw. First-time user
should obtain informed, practical in-
struction in addition to reading this
manual. Practice cutting logs on a saw
horse or cradle.
4. Use only electrical voltage noted on
model plate of chain saw.
5. Use only extension cords marked for
outdoor use. See page 8 for extension
cord requirements.
6. Do not operate chain saw
• while under the influence of alcohol,
medication, or drugs

Read and understand all
Safety
Warnings
on pages 3 through 5.
Improper use of this chain saw can
cause severe injury or death from
fire, electrical shock, body contact
with moving chain, or falling wood.
Kickback Safety Devices On
This Saw
This saw has a low-kickback chain and re-
duced-kickback guide bar. Both items reduce
the chance of kickback. Kickback can still
occur with this saw. Do not let tip of guide
bar touch anything when chain is moving.
Never hold the chain saw by the front hand
guard.
Cause Of Kickback
Kickback may occur when nose or tip of
guide bar touches an object while chain is
moving. If chain cutter catches on object, a
sudden reverse action will result. The guide
bar will kick up and back towards operator.
Kickback may also occur when wood
pinches chain at guide bar nose. A sudden
reverse action will also result.
WARNING: Avoid Kickback.
Kickback can cause you to lose
control of chain saw. Kickback
can cause severe injury or death.
The following steps will reduce the risk of
kickback:
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is
running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and
fingers must wrap around saw handles.
•Keep all safety items in place on saw.
Make sure they work properly.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder
height.
•Keep solid footing and balance.
• Stand slightly to left side of saw. This
keeps your body from being in direct line
with chain.
• Do not let guide bar nose touch anything
when chain is moving (see Figure 1).
•Never try cutting through two logs at
same time. Only cut one log at a time.
• Do not bury guide bar nose or try plunge
cut (boring into wood using guide bar nose).
•Watch for shifting of wood or other forces
that may pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a
previous cut.
• Use low-kickback chain and guide bar
supplied with this chain saw. Only re-
place these parts with chains and guide
bars listed in this manual.
•Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain
sharp and tensioned correctly.

•Watch for shifting of log or other forces
that may pinch chain.
• Use extreme caution when reentering a
previous cut.
• Do not twist saw when removing guide
bar from undercut.
• Use wedges made of plastic, wood, or
light alloy (never steel or iron) to hold
cut open.
CHAIN SAW OPERATION
1. Stay alert. Use common sense while op-
erating chain saw.
2. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas
invite injuries.
3. Be aware of extension cord while op-
erating chain saw. Be careful not to trip
over cord.
4. Keep children, animals, and bystand-
ers away from chain saw and extension
cord. Only chain saw user should be in
work area.
5. Do not cut down a tree unless you are
trained or have expert help.
6. If two or more persons perform buck-
ing and felling operations at the same
time, provide plenty of distance between
operations. Provide distance of at least
twice the height of tree being felled.
7. Secure wood you are cutting by using
clamps or chocks.
8. Grip chain saw firmly with both hands.
Never operate chain saw with one hand.
Never use hand guard as handle.
9. Keep finger off trigger until ready to
make cut.
10. Before starting chain saw, make sure
chain is not touching anything.
11. Avoid body contact with grounded ob-
jects such as pipes, wire fences, and
metal posts.
12. Keep all parts of body away from chain
when saw is running.
13. Do not force chain saw while cutting.
Apply light pressure.
14. Cut small brush and saplings with ex-
treme care. Slender material may catch
in chain and be whipped toward you.
This could also pull you off balance.
15. When cutting limb or tree trunk that is
under tension, use extreme caution. Be
alert for wood springing back. When
wood tension is released, limb could
spring back and strike operator caus-
ing severe injury or death.
16. Do not activate the chain brake to stop
saw. Always release trigger to stop saw.
17. Carry chain saw from one place to an-
other
• with chain saw unplugged
•by holding front handle (never use
front hand guard as handle)
• with finger off trigger

Saw Maintenance and Kickback
Safety
Follow maintenance instructions in this manual.
Proper cleaning of saw and chain and guide
bar maintenance can reduce chances of kick-
back. Inspect and maintain saw after each use.
This will increase the service life of your saw.
Note:
Even with proper sharpening, risk of
kickback can increase with each sharpening.
PUSHBACK AND PULL-IN
Cause Of Pushback and Pull-In
Pushback may occur while cutting with top
of guide bar. Pushback will force saw back
towards you. Pull-in may occur while cut-
ting with bottom of guide bar. Pull-in will
force saw in towards wood you are cutting.
These hazards can occur if chain is pinched,
caught, or contacts a non-wood object.
The following steps will reduce the risk of
pushback or pull-in:
• Use both hands to grip saw while saw is
running. Use firm grip. Thumbs and
fingers must wrap around saw handles.
• Do not overreach or cut above shoulder
height.
•Keep solid footing and balance.
• Stand slightly to left side of saw. This
keeps your body from being in direct line
with chain.
•Have saw running at full speed before
starting a cut.
•When cutting, make sure spike of saw is
against wood (pull-in only). See Prod-
uct Identification, page 6, to locate spike.
WARNING: Avoid pushback
and pull-in. These hazards can
cause you to lose control of chain
saw. Pushback or pull-in can
cause severe injury.
WARNING: Some dust cre-
ated by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other con-
struction activities contains
chemicals known (to the state of
California) to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
• crystalline silica from bricks
and cement and other masonry
products
• arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To re-
duce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well venti-
lated area, and work with ap-
proved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are spe-
cially designed to filter out mi-
croscopic particles.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cord with this chain
saw. Use only extension cords marked for
outdoor use. Use an extension cord no less
than 1.5 mm
2
(14SWG) at distances up to
30 meters (100 feet). The cord must be
marked with suffix W following the cord
type marking.
Example:
SJTW
Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry
the current your saw will draw. An under-
sized cord will cause a voltage drop at the
saw, loss of power, and overheating.
Keep cord away from cutting area. Make
sure cord does not catch on branches or logs
during cutting. Inspect cords often. Replace
damaged cords.
The extension cord may come undone from the
power cord during use. To avoid this, make a
knot with the two cords as shown in Figure 7.

OILING CHAIN
Always check oil level before using saw. To
oil chain, press squeeze bulb on oil cap. Do
not attempt to operate the oiler while cut-
ting with the saw. Oil will feed onto guide
bar and chain. Press squeeze bulb on oil cap
at least once before each cut. Check oil level
often by looking at oil sight level hole. Oil
sight level hole is on left side of saw, be-
tween front handle and front hand guard.
CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN
SAW
1. Connect saw to extension cord. Con-
nect extension cord to power supply.
2. Make sure section of log to be cut is
not laying on ground. This will keep
chain from touching ground as it cuts
through log. Touching ground with
moving chain will dull chain.
3. Use both hands to grip saw. Always use
left hand to grip front handle and right
hand to grip rear handle. Use firm grip.
Thumbs and fingers must wrap around
saw handles (see Figure 9).
4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep
feet apart. Divide your weight evenly
on both feet. Stand slightly to left side
of saw. This keeps your body from be-
ing in direct line with chain.
5. When ready to make a cut, press in
switch lockout with right thumb and
squeeze trigger (see Figure 9). This will
turn saw on. Releasing trigger will turn
saw off. Make sure saw is running at
full speed before starting a cut.
6. When starting a cut, place moving
chain against wood. Hold saw firmly
in place to avoid possible bouncing or
skating (sideways movement) of saw.
7. Guide saw using light pressure. Do not
force saw. The motor will overload and
can burn out.
8. Remove saw from a cut with saw run-
ning at full speed. Stop saw by releas-
ing trigger. Do not use the chain brake.
Make sure chain has stopped before
setting saw down.
9. Practice until you can maintain a steady,
even cutting rate.

FELLING A TREE (Cutting
Down a Tree)
WARNING:
• Avoid kickback. Kickback can
result in severe injury or death.
See
Kickback,
page 3, to avoid
risk of kickback.
• Do not fell a tree without ample
skill or expert help.
• Keep children, animals, and
bystanders away from area
when felling a tree.
• If two or more persons per-
form bucking and felling op-
erations at the same time, pro-
vide ample distance between
operations. Provide distance
of at least twice the height of
tree being felled.
WARNING: When felling a tree,
be aware of your surroundings. Do
not endanger any person, strike
utility lines, or cause property dam-
age. If tree strikes utility lines, con-
tact utility company at once.
Felling is the process of cutting down a tree.
Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet
apart. Divide your weight evenly on both
feet. Follow directions below to fell a tree.
CAUTION: Seek professional
help if facing conditions beyond
your ability.
Before Felling a Tree
1. Before felling, inspect tree. Make sure
there are no dead limbs or branches that
may fall on you. Study natural lean of
tree, location of larger branches, and
wind direction. This will help you judge
which way tree will fall.
2. Clear work area around tree.
3. Plan and clear a retreat path before fell-
ing. Make retreat path opposite to
planned direction of fall of tree and at
45° angle (see Figure 11).
4. Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails,
staples, and wire from tree where you
will make felling cuts.
5. Stay on uphill side when felling tree. Tree
could roll or slide downhill after falling.
WARNING: Be alert for falling
overhead limbs. Watch your foot-
ing while exiting area.
3. As felling cut nears hinge, tree should
begin to fall.
Note:
If needed, drive
wedges into felling cut to control direc-
tion of fall. If tree settles back and pinches
chain, drive wedges into felling cut to
remove saw. Only use wedges made of
wood, plastic, or aluminum. Never use
wedge made of steel. This could cause

Continued
Continued
Limbing is removing branches from a fallen
tree. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep
feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on
both feet. Do not remove larger limbs un-
der tree that support log off ground. Remove
each limb with one cut (see Figure 13). Clear
cut limbs from work area often. This will
help maintain a safe work area.
Make sure you start your cut where limb
will not pinch saw during cutting. To avoid
pinching, start cut on freely hanging limbs
from above limb. Start cut on limbs under
tension from under limb. If pinch occurs,
turn saw off, lift limb, and remove saw.
CAUTION: Seek professional
help if facing conditions beyond
your ability.
WARNING: When cutting limb
that is under tension, use extreme
caution. Be alert for wood spring-
ing back. When wood tension is
released, limb could spring back
and strike operator causing se-
vere injury or death.
WARNING: Avoid kickback.
Kickback can result in severe in-
jury or death. See
Kickback,
page
3, to avoid risk of kickback.
Bucking a log is cutting a log into sections.
Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet
apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
Stand slightly to left of saw. This keeps your
body from being in direct line with chain.
When possible, raise log or section off ground.
Do this by using limbs, logs, chocks, etc.
When cutting through log, maintain control
by reducing cutting pressure near end of cut.
Do not relax your grip on chain saw handles.
Do not let moving chain touch ground.
Ground will dull moving chain. After cut-
ting through log, release trigger to turn saw
off before moving saw.
Follow directions below to buck a log.
Entire Length Of Log On
Ground
Cut log from top (see Figure 14).
CAUTION: Seek professional
help if facing conditions beyond
your ability.
WARNING:
• If on slope, make sure log will
not roll down hill. Secure log
by using wooden stakes. Drive
wooden stakes into ground on
downhill side of log. Stand on
uphill side of log while cutting.
Log may roll after cutting.
• Never try cutting through two
logs at same time. This could
increase the risk of kickback.
• While cutting log, never hold
log with your hand, leg, or foot.
• While cutting log, never allow
another person to hold log.
• Turn off and unplug saw be-
fore moving from one place to
another.
WARNING: Avoid kickback.
Kickback can result in severe in-
jury or death. See

Figure 17 - Guide Bar Cross Section
Showing Uneven Bar Wear
Keep saw body clean. Use a soft cloth damp-
ened with a mild soap and water mixture.
Wipe saw body to clean.
CARE OF GUIDE BAR
Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar prob-
lems. Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and
depth gauge settings often cause this. When
bar wears unevenly, it widens guide bar
groove (see Figure 17). This causes chain
clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not cut
straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.
Inspect guide bar before sharpening chain.
A worn or damaged guide bar is unsafe. A
worn or damaged guide bar will damage
chain. It will also make cutting harder.
WARNING: When cleaning
saw body
• do not submerge saw in any
liquids
• do not use products that con-
tain ammonia, chlorine, or
abrasives
• do not use chlorinated clean-
ing solvents, carbon tetrachlo-
ride, kerosene, or gasoline
WARNING: Cutting edges on
chain are sharp. Use protective
gloves when handling chain.
WARNING: Unplug chain saw
from power source before servic-
ing. Severe injury or death could
occur from electrical shock or
body contact with moving chain.

Normal Guide Bar Maintenance
1. Remove guide bar from chain saw.
2. Remove sawdust from guide bar groove
periodically. Use putty knife or wire.
3. Clean oil slots after each day of use.
4. Remove burrs from sides of guide bar.
Use flat file to make side edges square.
Replace guide bar when
• bar is bent or cracked
• inside groove of bar is badly worn
Note:
When replacing guide bar, see Re-
placement Parts, page 14, for proper bar.

Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster
and more safely. A dull chain will cause
undue sprocket, guide bar, chain, and mo-
tor wear. If you must force chain into wood
and cutting creates only sawdust with few
large chips, chain is dull.
Items Needed to Sharpen Chain
Purchase these items from your local dealer,
hardware store, or chain saw supplies outlet.
•4 mm (5/32") round file
• File guide
• Medium sized flat file
•Depth gauge tool
•Vise
Sharpening Cutters
Use file guide for 30° filing.
1. Adjust chain for proper tension (see Saw
Chain Tension Adjustment, page 8).
2. Clamp guide bar in vise to hold saw
steady.
Note:
Do not clamp chain.
3. Press four millimeter (5/32") round file
(attached to file guide) into groove be-
tween top plate and depth gauge on chain.
File guide should rest on both top plate
and depth gauge (see Figures 19 and 20).
Note:
File at midpoint of guide bar.
4. Hold file guide level. Make sure 30°
mark on file guide is parallel to center
of guide bar (see Figure 19). This will
insure that you file cutters at 30° angle.
5. File from inside towards outside of cut-
ter until sharp. Only file in this one direc-
tion (see Figure 19).
Note:
Two or three
strokes with file should sharpen cutter.
6. After each cutter if sharpened, move
chain forward to sharpen next cutter.
File all cutters on one side of chain.
7. Move to other side of chain and repeat
process.
WARNING: Cutting edges on
chain are sharp. Use protective
gloves when handling chain.
WARNING: Unplug chain saw
from power source before servic-
ing. Severe injury or death could
occur from electrical shock or
body contact with moving chain.

STORAGE
If storing saw for more than 30 days, fol-
low steps below.
1. Drain oil tank.
2. Remove and clean guide bar and chain.
Clean guide bar and chain by soaking
in petroleum based solvent or mild soap
and water mixture.
3. Dry guide bar and chain.
4. Place chain in container filled with oil.
This will prevent rust.
5. Wipe a thin coating of oil over surface
of guide bar.
6. Wipe off outside of saw body. Do this
with soft cloth dampened with a mild
soap and water mixture.
7. Store chain saw
• in a high or locked place, out of
children’s reach
• in a dry place
• in a carrying case or with scabbard
over guide bar
• with oil cap tight and saw upside
down to prevent excess oil seepage
After several hand filings, have authorized
service center or sharpening service machine
sharpen chain. This will insure even filing.
Replacing Saw Chain
Replace chain when cutters are too worn to
sharpen or when chain breaks. Only use re-
placement chain noted in this manual. Al-
ways include new drive sprocket when re-
placing chain. This will maintain proper
driving of chain.
Note:
For proper chain and
drive sprocket, see Replacement Parts.
Purchase these parts from your local dealer.
