11. Inspecttreebefole cuttingdown.Makesumtfieregu'e
no dead limbs orbranches that may fallon you.
12. To reduce the risk of electric shock,this saw hasa
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

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 am trained or
have expert help.
6. Iftwo 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.

,_t WARNING: This product contains
chemicals known to the State of Cali-
fornia to cause cancer or birth defects,
or other reproductive harm.
_lb 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 chemi-
cally-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 venti-
lated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
KICKBACK
_IbWARNING: Kickback mayoccurwhen
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 backtowards 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 Safety Devices On This
Saw
This saw has a k)w-kickback chain and reduced
kickback guide bar. Both items reduce the chance of
kickback. Kickback can still occur with this saw.
Followassemblyinstructionson page7. 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 thnes.
, 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.
, Donot buU guide bar nose ortU plunge cut (boring
into wood using guide bar nose).
* Watch for shifting of wood or other folves that may
pinch chain.
, Use extremecaution when reenteringa plevious cut.
, Use low-kickback chain and guide bar supplied
with this chain saw. Only replace these parts with
chains and guide bars listed in this manual.
, Never use dull or loose chain. Keep chain sharp
with proper tension.

SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT
411 WARNING: Unplug chain saw from
power source before adjusting saw
chain tension.
WARNING: Cutting edges on chain
are sharp. Use protective gloves when
handling chain.
4Bk WARNING: Maintain proper chain
tension always. A loose chain will in-
crease the risk of kickback. AIoose chain
may jump out of guide bar groove. This
may injure operator and damage chain.
A loose chain will cause chain, guide bar,
and sprocket to wear rapidly.
Note: For pre-assembled models, the saw chain
tension is properly set at factory. A new chain will
stretch. Check new chain after first ,few minutes of
operation. Allow chain to cool down. Follow steps
below to readjust saw chain tension.
1. Before adjusting chain, make sure guide bar nuts
are only finger tight (see Figure 2, page 8). Also
make sure adjusting block is in oval adjusting hole
on guide bar (see Figures 2 and 3, page 8).
2. Turn adjusting screw clockwise until all slack is
out of chain (see Figure 4). Note: There should
be no gap between side links of chain and bottom
of guide bar (see Figure 5).
3. Wearing protective gloves, move chain around
guide bar. Chain should move freely. If chain
does not move freely, loosen chain by turning
adjusting screw counterclockwise.
4. After chain tension is correct, tighten guide
bar nuts firmly. If not, guide bar will move and
loosen chain tension. This will increase the risk
of kickback. This can also damage saw. Note:

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 overheat. Follow cord size requirements
on the chart.
Cord Length AWG Cord Size
25 feet 16 AWG
50 feet 16 AWG
100 feet 16 AWG
150 feet 14 AWG
Keep cord away fiom cutting area. Make sure cord
does not catch on branches or logs during cutting.
Inspect cords often. Replace damaged cords.
The extension con may come undone from the power
cord during use. To avoid this, make a knot with the
two cons as shown in Figure 6.

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 8,
page I 1).
4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart.
Divide your weight evenly on both feet.
5. When ready to make a cut, press in switch lock-
out with right thumb and squeeze trigger (see

FELLING A TREE
(Cutting Down a Tree)
_k WARNING:
Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in
severe injury or death. See Kickback
to avoid risk of kickback.
Do not fell a tree without ample skill c
expert help.
Keep children, animats, 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 endan-
ger any person, strike utility lines, or cause
propertydamage. Iftreestrikes utility lines,
contact 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 leer. 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 retre* path before telling. Make
retreat path opposite to planned direction of fail
of tree and at 45° angle (see Figure 9).
4.
5.
Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and
wire fl'om tree where you will make telling cuts.
Stay on uphill side when telling tree. Tree could
roll or slide downhill after falling.
-Tree
j¢/ Retreat Path
Figure 9 Retreat Path From Tree
Felling Procedure
A) Felling Notch
A properly placed felling notch will determine direc-
tion tree will fall. Place telling notch on side of tree in
direction you want tree to fall (see Figure 10. Follow
directions below to create a telling notch.
1. Make lower notch cut as close to ground as
possible. Hold saw so guide bar is horizontal.
Cut 113 the diameter of tree trunk (see Figure
10). 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 10).
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
10). Keep telling cut parallel to lower notch cut.
2. Cut towards notch.
3. As Mling cut nem_ hinge, tree should begin to f_dl.
Note: If needed, drive wedges into telling cut to
control direction of fall. If tree settles back and
pinches chain, drive wedges into telling cut to re-
move saw. Only use wedges made of wood, plastic,
or aluminum. Never use wedge made of steel. This
couM cause kickback and damage to chain.
4. When tree begins to fall quickly
remove saw from telling cut
release trigger to turn saw off
put saw down
exit area using retreat path
11
OPERATING CHAIN SAW
_lb WARNING: Do not cut all the way
through tree. Leave about two inches
of tree diameter uncut directly behind
felling notch (see Figure 10). This uncut
portion acts as a hinge. The hinge helps

LIMBING A TREE
_I, WARNING: Avoid kickback. Kickback
can result in severe injury or death. See
Kickback to avoid risk of kickback.
_, 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
1 l). 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.

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.
CLEANING SAW BODY
_I, WARNING: Unplug chain saw from
powersource 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 tetracMoride, kerosene,
or gasoline
Keep saw N_dy dean. Use a soft cloth &tmpened with a
l_ld soap and water mixture. Wipe saw body to degm.
CARE OF GUIDE BAR
Uneven bar wear causes most guide bar problems.
Incorrect shaq)ening of chain cutter and depth gauge
settings often cause this. When bar wears unevenly,
it widens guide bar groove (see Figure 16). This
causes chain clatter and rivet popping. Saw will not
cut straight. Replace guide bar if this occurs.
Inspect guide bgu belbre shaq)ening chain. A worn or
dgunaged guide bar is unsafe. A worn or damaged guide
bgu will dgunage chain. It will also make cutting harder.
