ventilation, when fueling or handling fuel.

○ Fuel contains highly ﬂ ammable and it is possible to get the

serious personal injury when inhaling or spilling on your body.

Always pay attention when handling fuel. Always have good

ventilation when handling fuel inside building.

Fuel

○ Always use branded 89 octane unleaded gasoline.

○ Use genuine two-cycle oil or use a mix between 25:1 to 50:1,

please consult the oil bottle for the ratio or HITACHI dealer.

○ Only for the state of California at 50:1.

○ If genuine oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added quality

oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO

FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE). Do not use BIA or TCW

(2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.

○ Never use multi-grade oil (10 W/30) or waste oil.

○ Always mix fuel and oil in a separate clean container.

Always start by ﬁ lling half the amount of gasoline, which is to be

used.

Then add the whole amount of oil. Mix (shake) the fuel mixture. Add

the remaining amount of gasoline.

Mix (shake) the fuel-mix thoroughly before ﬁ lling the fuel tank.

Fueling

WARNING (Fig. 8)

○ Always shut oﬀ the engine before refueling.

○ Slowly open the fuel tank (12), when ﬁ lling up with fuel, so that

possible overpressure disappears.

○ Tighten the fuel cap carefully, after fueling.

○ Always move the unit at least 3 m from the fueling area before

starting.

○ Always wash any spilled fuel from clothing immediately with

soap.

○ Be sure to check any fuel leaking after refueling.

Fig. 8

Before fueling, clean the tank cap area carefully, to ensure that no

dirt falls into the tank. Make sure that the fuel is well mixed by shaking

the container, before fueling.

Chain brake operation (Fig. 16)

Fig. 16

Chain brake (18), if so equipped, is designed to activate in an

emergency such as kick-back action. Please check to verify that it

works properly before use.

Application of brake is made by moving the front guard towards the

bar. During the chain brake operation, even if the throttle lever is

pulled, the engine speed does not increase and the chain does not

turn. To release the brake, pull up the chain brake lever.

How to conﬁ rm:

1) Turn oﬀ the engine.

2) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your hand from the

front handle, hit the tip of the guide bar to a stump or a piece

of wood, and conﬁ rm brake operation. Operating level varies by

bar size.

In case the brake is not eﬀ ective, ask our dealer for inspection and

repairs. If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with the brake

engaged, the clutch will overheat causing trouble.

When the brake engages during operation, immediately release the

throttle lever to stop the engine.

WARNING

Do not carry the machine with the engine running.

Stopping (Fig. 17)

Fig. 17

Decrease engine speed, and push ignition switch (15) to stop

position.

WARNING

KICKBACK DANGER (Fig. 18)

Fig. 18

One of the most severe dangers when working with a chain saw is

the possibility of kickback. Kickback may occur when the upper tip

of the guide bar touches an object, or when the wood closes 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 you. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide

bar may also push the guide bar rapidly back towards you. Either of

these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could

result in serious personal injury. Even though your saw has safety

built into its design, you should not rely on these safety features

exclusively. Know where your bar tip is at all times. Kickback does

occur if you allow the kickback zone (19) of the bar to touch an object.

English

Do not use that area. Kickback from pinching is caused by a cut

closing and pinching the upper side of the guide bar. Study your cut

and make sure it will open as you cut through. Maintain control when

the engine is running by always keeping a ﬁ rm grip on the saw with

your right hand on the rear handle, your left hand on the front handle

and your thumbs and ﬁ ngers encircling the handles. Always hold the

saw with both hands during operation and cut at high engine speed.

WARNING

○ Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.

○ Use extra caution when felling, and do not use the saw in a nose-

high position or above shoulder height.

CHAIN CATCHER

The chain catcher is located on the power head just below the chain

to further prevent the possibility of a broken chain striking the chain

saw user.

WARNING

Do not stand in-line with chain when cutting.

BASIC TECHNIQUES FOR MAKING FELLING, LIMBING AND

BUCKING CUTS

The intention of the following information is to provide you with the

general introduction to wood cutting techniques.

WARNING

○ This information does not cover all speciﬁ c situations, which

may depend on diﬀ erences in terrain, vegetation, kind of wood,

form and size of trees, etc. Consult your servicing dealer,

forestry agent or local forestry schools for advice on speciﬁ c

woodcutting problems in your area. This will make your work

more eﬃ cient and safer.

○ Avoid cutting in adverse weather conditions, such as dense fog,

heavy rain, bitter cold, high winds, etc.

Adverse weather is often tiring to work in and creates potentially

dangerous conditions such as slippery ground.

High winds may force the tree to fall in an unexpected direction

causing property damage or personal injury.

CAUTION

Never use a chain saw to pry or for any purpose for which it is not

intended.

WARNING

○ Avoid stumbling on obstacles such as stumps, roots, rocks,

branches and fallen trees. Watch out for holes and ditches. Be

extremely cautious when working on slopes or uneven ground.

Shut oﬀ the saw when moving from one work place to another.

Always cut at wide open throttle. A slow moving chain can easily

catch and force the saw to jerk.

○ Never use the saw with only one hand.

You cannot control the saw properly and you may lose control

and injure yourself severely.

Keep the saw body close to your body to improve control and

reduce strain.

When cutting with the bottom part of the chain the reactive force

will pull the saw away from you towards the wood you are cutting.

The saw will control the feeding speed and sawdust will be

directed towards you. (Fig. 19)

Fig. 19

○ When cutting with the upper part of the chain the reactive force

will push the saw towards you and away from the wood you are

cutting. (Fig. 20)

Fig. 20

○ There is a risk of kickback if the saw is pushed far enough so that

you begin to cut with the nose of the bar.

The safest cutting method is to cut with the bottom part of the

chain. Sawing with the upper part makes it much more diﬃ cult to

control the saw and increases the risk of kickback.

○ In case the chain locked, immediately release the throttle lever.

If the throttle lever keeps rotating at high speed with the chain

locked, the clutch will overheat causing trouble.

NOTE

Always keep the spiked bumper face to a tree, because the

chain may suddenly be drawn into a tree.

FELLING

Felling is more than cutting down a tree. You must also bring it down

as near to an intended place as possible without damaging the tree

or anything else.

Before felling a tree, carefully consider all conditions which may

eﬀ ect the intended direction, such as:

Angle of the tree. Shape of the crown. Snow load on the crown.

Wind conditions. Obstacles within tree range (e.g., other trees,

power lines, roads, buildings, etc.).

WARNING

○ Always observe the general conditions of the tree. Look for

decay and rot in the trunk which will make it more likely to snap

and start to fall before you expect it.

○ Look for dry branches, which may break and hit you when you

are working.

Always keep animals and people at least twice the tree length

away while felling. Clear away shrubs and branches from around

the tree.

Prepare a path of retreat away from the felling direction.

BASIC RULES FOR FELLING TREES

Normally the felling consists of two main cutting operations, notching

and making the felling cut. Start making the upper notch cut on the

side of the tree facing the feeling direction. Look through the kerf as

you saw the lower cut so you do not saw too deep into the trunk. The

notch should be deep enough to create a hinge of suﬃ cient width

and strength. The notch opening should be wide enough to direct

the fall of the tree as long as possible. Saw the felling cut from the

other side of the tree between one and two inches (3–5 cm) above

the edge of the notch. (Fig. 21)

Fig. 21

English

20. Felling direction

21. 45° minimum notch opening

22. Hinge

23. Felling cut

Never saw completely through the trunk. Always leave a hinge.

The hinge guides the tree. If the trunk is completely cut through, you

lose control over the felling direction.

Insert a wedge or a felling lever in the cut well before the tree

becomes unstable and starts to move. This will prevent the guide

bar from binding in the felling cut if you have misjudged the falling

direction. Make sure no people have come into the range of the

falling tree before you push it over.

FELLING CUT, TRUNK DIAMETER MORE THAN TWICE GUIDE

BAR LENGTH

Cut a large, wide notch. Then cut a recess into the center of the

notch. Always leave a hinge on both sides of the center cut. (Fig. 22)

Fig. 22

Complete the felling cut by sawing around the trunk as in the Fig. 23.

Fig. 23

WARNING

These methods are extremely dangerous because they involve

the use of the nose of guide bar and can result in kickback.

Only properly trained professionals should attempt these

techniques.

LIMBING

Limbing is removing the branches from a feller tree.

WARNING

A majority of kickback accidents occur during Iimbing.

Do not use the nose of the guide bar. Be extremely cautious and

avoid contacting the log, other limbs or objects with the nose

of the guide bar. Be extremely cautious of limbs under tension.

They can spring back towards you and cause loss of control

resulting in injury. (Fig. 24)

Fig. 24

Stand on the left side of the trunk. Maintain a secure footing and

rest the saw on the trunk. Hold the saw close to you so that you are

in full control of it. Keep well away from the chain. Move only when

the trunk is between you and the chain. Watch out for spring back of

limbs under tension.

LIMBING THICK BRANCHES

When limbing thick branches, the guide bar may get pinched easily.

Branches under tension often snap up, so cut troublesome branches

in small steps. Apply the same principles as for cross cutting. Think

ahead and be aware of the possible consequences of all your

actions.

CROSS CUTTING/BUCKING

Before starting to cut through the log, try to imagine what is going to

happen. Look out for stresses in the log and cut through it in such a

manner that the guide bar will not get pinched.

CROSS CUTTING LOGS, PRESSURE ON TOP

Take a ﬁ rm stance. Begin with an upper cut. Do not cut too deeply,

about 1/3 of the log diameter is enough. Finish with a bottom cut.

The saw cuts should meet. (Fig. 25)

WARNING

KICKBACK DANGER

Do not attempt a boring cut if you are not properly trained. A

boring cut involves the use of the nose of the guide bar and can

result in kickback.

CROSS CUTTING LOGS, PRESSURE ON BOTTOM

Take a ﬁ rm stance. Begin with a bottom cut. The depth of the cut

should be about 1/3 of the log diameter.

close to the ground. Finish with a top cut. (Fig. 29)

Fig. 29

WARNING

KICKBACK DANGER

Do not attempt a boring cut if you are not properly trained. A

boring cut involves the use of the nose of the guide bar and can

result in kickback. (Fig. 30)

Fig. 30

IF THE SAW GETS STUCK

Stop the engine. Raise the log or change its position, using a thick

branch or pole as a lever. Do not try to pull the saw free. If you do,

you can deform the handle or be injured by the saw chain if the saw

is suddenly released.

NON-ROAD ENGINE REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL.

Carburetor adjustment (Fig. 31)

Fig. 31

WARNING

Never start the engine without the complete clutch cover.

Otherwise the clutch can come loose and cause personal injuries.

In the carburetor, fuel is mixed with air. When the engine is test run at

the factory, the carburetor is adjusted. A further adjustment may be

required, according to climate and altitude. The carburetor has one

adjustment possibility:

T = Idle speed adjustment screw.

Idle speed adjustment (T)

Check that the air ﬁ lter is clean. When the idle speed is correct, the

cutting attachment will not rotate. If adjustment is required, close

(clockwise) the T-screw, with the engine running, until the cutting

attachment starts to rotate. Open (counter-clockwise) the screw

until the cutting attachment stops. You have reached the correct idle

speed when the engine runs smoothly in all positions well below the

rpm when the cutting attachment starts to rotate.

If the cutting attachment still rotates after idle speed adjustment,

contact HITACHI dealer.

WARNING

When the engine is idling the cutting attachment must under no

circumstances rotate.

NOTE

Some models sold in areas with strict exhaust emission

regulation do not have high and low speed carburetor

adjustments. Such adjustments may allow the engine to be

operated outside of their emission compliance limits. For these

models, the only carburetor adjustment is idle speed.

If you are not familiar with this type of adjustment, please ask for

assistance from your HITACHI dealer.

Air ﬁ lter (Fig. 32)

The air ﬁ lter (36) must be cleaned from dust and dirt in order to avoid:

○ Carburetor malfunctions.

○ Starting problems.

○ Engine power reduction.

○ Unnecessary wear on the engine parts.

○ Abnormal fuel consumption.

Clean the air ﬁ lter daily or more often if working in exceptionally

dusty areas.

Cleaning the air ﬁ lter

Remove the air ﬁ lter cover (37) and the ﬁ lter (36).

Rinse them in warm soap suds. Check that the ﬁ lter is dry before

reassembly. An air ﬁ lter that has been used for some time cannot be

cleaned completely. Therefore, it must regularly be replaced with a

new one. A damaged ﬁ lter must always be replaced.

English

Fig. 35

Side case (Fig. 36)

Always keep the side case and drive area clean of saw dust and

debris. Periodically apply oil or grease to this area to protect from

corrosion as some trees contain high levels of acid.

Fig. 36

Fuel ﬁ lter (Fig. 37)

Remove the fuel ﬁ lter from the fuel tank and thoroughly wash it in

solvent. After that, push the ﬁ lter into the tank completely.

Fig. 37

NOTE

If the ﬁ lter is hard due to dust and dirt, replace it.

Chain oil ﬁ lter (Fig. 38)

Remove the oil ﬁ lter and thoroughly wash it in solvent.

Fig. 38

Fig. 32

Spark plug (Fig. 33)

The spark plug condition is inﬂ uenced by:

○ An incorrect carburetor setting.

○ Wrong fuel mixture (too much oil in the gasoline)

○ A dirty air ﬁ lter.

○ Hard running conditions (such as cold weather).

These factors cause deposits on the spark plug electrodes, which

may result in malfunction and starting diﬃ culties. If the engine is low

on power, diﬃ cult to start or runs poorly at idling speed, always check

the spark plug ﬁ rst. If the spark plug is dirty, clean it and check the

electrode gap. Readjust if necessary. The correct gap is 0.024” (0.6

mm). The spark plug should be replaced after about 100 operation

hours or earlier if the electrodes are badly eroded.

0.6 mm

Fig. 33

NOTE

In some areas, local law requires using a resistor spark plug

to suppress ignition signals. If this machine was originally

equipped with resistor spark plug, use same type of spark plug

for replacement.

Oiler port (Fig. 34)

Clean the chain oiler port (38) whenever possible.

Fig. 34

Guide bar (Fig. 35)

Before using the machine, clean the groove and oiler port (39) in the

bar with the special gauge oﬀ ered as an optional accessory.

0.024"(0.6 mm)

English

Cleaning the cylinder ﬁ ns (Fig. 39)

When wood chips are caught between cylinder ﬁ ns (40), the engine

may overheat, resulting in lower output. To avoid this, always keep

cylinder ﬁ ns and fan case clean.

Every 100 operating hours, or once a year (more often if conditions

require), clean ﬁ ns and external surfaces of engine of dust, dirt and

oil deposits which can contribute to improper cooling.

Fig. 39

Cleaning the muﬄ er (Fig. 40)

Remove the muﬄ er and spark arrestor, if so equipped, and clean out

any excess carbon from the exhaust port or muﬄ er inlet every 100

hours of operation.

Fig. 40

For long-term storage

Drain all fuel from the fuel tank. Start and let engine run until it stops.

Repair any damage which has resulted from use. Clean the unit with

a clean rag, or the use of high pressure air hose. Put a few drops of

two-cycle engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole,

and spin the engine over several times to distribute oil.

Cover the unit and store it in a dry area.
