chain saw.

• heavy-duty gloves (wear rubber gloves when

working outdoors)

• steel-toed safety footwear with non-skid soles

• eye protection such as safety glasses, goggles,

or face screen

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

Make sure you read and understand all in

structions in Important Safety Information

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.

WARNING: When using an electric

chain saw, basic safety precautions

should always be followed to reduce the

risk of ﬁre, electric shock, and injury to

persons, including the following:

• safety hard hat

• ear mufﬂers or ear plugs

• hair covering to contain long hair

• face or dust mask (if working in dusty areas)

10. Before cutting, always provide the following:

• clear work area

• secure footing

• planned retreat path from falling tree

11. Inspect tree before cutting down. Make sure there are

no dead limbs or branches that may fall on you.

12. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this saw has a

polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

This plug will ﬁt in a polarized outlet only one

way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully in the outlet of

your extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still

does not ﬁt, a polarized extension cord will be

necessary. Do not change the plug in any way.

WHILE OPERATING SAW

1. Stay alert. Use common sense while operating

chain saw.

2. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite

injuries.

3. Be aware of extension cord while operating chain

saw. Be careful not to trip over cord. Keep cord

away from chain and operator at all times.

4. Keep children, animals, and bystanders 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 bucking and fell

ing 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. To guard against electrical shock, avoid body

contact with grounded objects such as pipes,

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. It will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was intended.

14. Cut small brush and saplings with extreme care.

Slender material may catch in chain and be

whipped toward you. This could also pull you

off balance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

INFORMATION

Continued

WARNING: Kickback may occur when

the nose or 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 towards the opera

tor. Pinching the saw chain along the top

of the guide bar may push the guide bar

rapidly back towards the operator. Either

of these reactions may cause you to lose

control of the saw which could result in

serious injury to user.

KICKBACK

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. Carry chain saw from one place to another

• with saw stopped and unplugged

• by holding front handle (never use hand guard

as handle)

• with ﬁnger off trigger

• with guide bar and chain to rear

Kickback Safety Devices On This Saw

This saw has a low-kickback chain and reduced

kickback guide bar. Both items reduce the chance of

kickback. Kickback can still occur with this saw.

Follow assembly instructions on pages 7 and 8. Do

not remove front hand guard. Do not replace front

hand guard with substitute.

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 at all times.

• 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).

WARNING: Some dust created by

power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill

ing, and other construction activities

contains chemicals known (to the state

of California) to cause cancer, birth de

fects, or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints

• crystalline silica from bricks and ce

ment 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 reduce your exposure to

these chemicals: work in a well ventilated

area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks

that are specially designed to ﬁlter out

microscopic particles.

WARNING: This product contains

chemicals known to the State of Cali

fornia to cause cancer or birth defects,

or other reproductive harm.

CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN SAW

1. Connect saw to extension cord. Connect exten-

sion 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 10).

4. Make sure your footing is ﬁrm. Keep feet apart.

Divide your weight evenly on both feet.

5. When ready to make a cut, push the lockout

button completely forward with the right thumb

and squeeze the trigger (see Figure 10). 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.

It will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it was intended.

8. Remove saw from a cut with saw running at full

speed. Stop saw by releasing trigger. Make sure

chain has stopped before setting saw down.

9. Practice until you can maintain a steady, even

cutting rate.

Inspect cords often. Replace damaged cords.

This chain saw is designed with an extension cord hitch

that prevents the extension cord from being pulled loose

during use. To use, form a loop with the end of the

extension cord, insert loop into slot in rear of handle,

and place loop over cord hitch (see Figure 9). Gently

pull loop against cord hitch until slack is removed.

Plug extension cord into chain saw cord.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use proper extension cords with this saw. Use only

extension cords marked for outdoor use. The cord must

be marked with sufﬁx W or W-A following the cord

type designation. Example: SJTW-A or SJTW.

Use proper sized cord with this saw. Cord must be heavy

enough to carry current needed. An undersized cord will

cause voltage drop at saw. Saw will lose power and over

heat. Follow cord size requirements listed below.

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.

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 felling. Make

retreat path opposite to planned direction of fall

of tree and at 45° angle (see Figure 11).

WARNING:

• Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in se

vere injury or death. See Kickback, pages

4 and 5, 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 perform buck

ing and felling operations at the same

time, provide 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 damage. If tree strikes

utility lines, contact utility company at

once.

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.

Felling Procedure

A) Felling Notch

A properly placed felling notch will determine direc-

tion tree will fall. Place felling notch on side of tree in

direction you want tree to fall (see Figure 12). Follow

directions below to create a felling notch.

1. Make lower notch cut as close to ground as pos

sible. Hold saw so guide bar is horizontal. Cut

1/3 the diameter of tree trunk (see Figure 12).

Note: Always make this horizontal lower notch

cut ﬁrst. If you make this cut second, tree can

pinch chain or guide bar.

2. Start upper notch cut the same distance above

ﬁrst cut as ﬁrst cut is deep.

Example: If lower notch cut is eight inches deep,

start upper notch cut eight inches above it. Cut

downward at 45° angle. The upper notch cut should

meet end of lower notch cut (see Figure 12).

3. Remove tree trunk wedge created by notching

cuts.

B) Felling Cut

1. Make felling cut two inches higher than lower

notch cut and on opposite side of tree (see Figure

12). Keep felling cut parallel to lower notch cut.

2. Cut towards notch.

WARNING: Do not cut all the way

through tree. Leave about two inches

of tree diameter uncut directly behind

felling notch (see Figure 12). This uncut

portion acts as a hinge. The hinge helps

keep tree from twisting and falling in

wrong direction.

BUCKING A LOG

WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kickback

can result in severe injury or death. See

Kickback, pages 4 and 5, to avoid risk

of kickback.

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 before moving

from one place to another.

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. When possible, raise log

or section off ground. Do this by using limbs, logs,

chocks, etc.

When cutting through log, maintain control by reduc

ing 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

cutting through log, release trigger to turn saw off

before moving saw.

Follow directions below to buck a log.

Cut log from top (see Figure 14).

WARNING: When cutting limb 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 causing

severe injury or death.

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 under 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.

LIMBING A TREE

WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kickback

can result in severe injury or death. See

Kickback, pages 4 and 5, to avoid risk

of kickback.

WARNING: Be alert for falling over-

head limbs. Watch your footing while

exiting area.

3. As felling cut nears hinge, tree should begin to fall.

Note: If needed, drive wedges into felling cut to

control direction of fall. If tree settles back and

pinches chain, drive wedges into felling cut to re

move saw. Only use wedges made of wood, plastic,

or aluminum. Never use wedge made of steel. This

could cause kickback and damage to chain.

4. When tree begins to fall, quickly

• remove saw from felling cut

• release trigger to turn saw off

• put saw down

• exit area using retreat path

TRIMMING A TREE (Pruning)

WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kickback

can result in severe injury or death. See

Kickback, pages 4 and 5, to avoid risk

of kickback.

WARNING: Do not operate chain

saw while

• in a tree

• on a ladder or any other unstable sur

face

• in any awkward position

You may lose control of saw causing

severe injury.

WARNING: Do not cut limbs higher

than your shoulders.

CAUTION: Seek professional help if

facing conditions beyond your ability.

Log Supported On One End

1. Make ﬁrst cut on underside of log (see Figure

15). Use top of guide bar to make this cut. Cut

1/3 through diameter of log. This cut will keep

section from splintering when cut.

2. Make second cut directly above ﬁrst cut. Cut

down to meet ﬁrst cut. This cut will keep log

from pinching guide bar and chain.

Log Supported On Both Ends

1. Make ﬁrst cut from above log (see Figure 16).

Cut 1/3 through diameter of log. This cut will

keep section from splintering when cut.

2. Make second cut on underside of log, directly

under ﬁrst cut. Use top of guide bar to make this

cut. Cut up to meet ﬁrst cut. This will keep log

from pinching guide bar and chain.

Trimming a tree is the process of cutting limbs from

a living tree. Make sure your footing is ﬁrm. Keep

feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet.

Follow directions below to trim a tree.

1. Make ﬁrst cut six inches from tree trunk on

underside of limb. Use top of guide bar to make

this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of limb (see

Figure 17).

2. Move two to four inches farther out on limb.

Make second cut from above limb. Continue cut

until you cut limb off.

3. Make third cut as close to tree trunk as possible

on underside of limb stub. Use top of guide bar to

make this cut. Cut 1/3 through diameter of stub.

4. Make fourth cut directly above third cut. Cut down

to meet third cut. This will remove limb stub.

CARE OF GUIDE BAR

Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems.

Incorrect sharpening of chain cutter and depth gauge

settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly,

it widens guide bar groove (see Figure 18). 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.

CLEANING SAW BODY

CLEANING AND

MAINTENANCE

NOTICE: Below are instructions for ser-

vicing your chain saw. Any servicing not

mentioned below should be done by an

authorized service center.

WARNING: Unplug chain saw from

power source before servicing. Severe injury

or death could occur from electrical shock

or body contact with moving chain.

WARNING: Cutting edges on chain

are sharp. Use protective gloves when

handling chain.

WARNING: When cleaning saw body,

• do not submerge saw in any liquids

• do not use products that contain am

monia, chlorine, or abrasives

• do not use chlorinated cleaning sol

vents, carbon tetrachloride, kerosene,

or gasoline

Keep saw body clean. Use a soft cloth dampened with a

mild soap and water mixture. Wipe saw body to clean.

Normal Guide Bar Maintenance

1. Remove guide bar from chain saw.

2. Remove sawdust from guide bar groove periodi

cally. Use putty knife or wire (see Figure 19).

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 Replacement

Parts and Accessories, page 16, for proper bar.

WARNING: Unplug chain saw from

power source before servicing. Severe injury

or death could occur from electrical shock

or body contact with moving chain.

WARNING: Cutting edges on chain

are sharp. Use protective gloves when

handling chain.

SHARPENING SAW CHAIN

Keep chain sharp. Your saw will cut faster and more

safely. A dull chain will cause undue sprocket, guide

bar, chain, and motor 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, hard-

ware store, or chain saw supplies outlet.

• 5/32" round ﬁle

• Depth gauge tool

• File guide

• Vise

• Medium sized ﬂat ﬁle

Sharpening Cutters

Use ﬁle guide for 30° ﬁling.

1. Adjust chain for proper tension (see Saw Chain

Tension Adjustment,

pages 8 and 9).

2. Clamp guide bar in vise to hold saw steady. Note:

Do not clamp chain.

3. Press 5/32" round ﬁle (attached to ﬁle guide)

into groove between top plate and depth gauge

on chain. File guide should rest on both top plate

and depth gauge (see Figure 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 20). This will insure that you ﬁle cutters

at 30° angle.

5. File from inside towards outside of cutter until

sharp. Only ﬁle in this one direction (see Figure

20). Note: Two or three strokes with ﬁle should

sharpen cutter.

6. After each cutter is sharpened, move chain for

ward to sharpen next cutter. File all cutters on

one side of chain.

7. Move to other side of chain and repeat process.

Filing Cutter Depth Gauges

The cutter depth gauge clearance is reduced as cutters

are sharpened. After every second or third sharpen

ing, reset cutter depth gauges.

1. Place depth gauge tool (.025") ﬁrmly across top

of two cutters. Make sure depth gauge enters slot

in depth gauge tool (see Figure 22).

2. Use medium ﬂat ﬁle. File depth gauge level with

depth gauge tool.

3. Remove depth gauge tool. With ﬂat ﬁle, round

off front corner of cutter depth gauge (see Figure

23).

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 replacement chain noted in

this manual. Always include new drive sprocket when

replacing chain. This will maintain proper driving of

chain. Note: For proper chain and drive sprocket, see

Replacement Parts and Accessories

, page 16.
