WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below, may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Know your tool. Read the operator’s manual
carefully. Learn the saw’s applications and limi-
tations as well as the specific potential hazards
related to this tool.
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 toward the operator. Pinching
the saw chain along the top of the guide bar
may push the guide bar rapidly back toward the
operator. Either of these reactions may cause
you to lose control of the saw, which could result
in serious personal injury. Do not rely exclusively
upon the safety devices built into the saw. As a
chain saw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or
injury.
With a basic understanding of kickback,
you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to
accidents.
• Keep a good firm grip on the saw with both
hands when the engine is running. Place your
right hand on the rear handle and your left
hand on the front handle with your thumbs
and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.
A firm grip together with a stiff left arm will
help you maintain control of the saw if kick-
back occurs.
Make sure that the area in which you are cut-
ting is free from obstructions. DO NOT let the
nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch,
fence, or any other obstruction that could be
hit while you are operating the saw.
Cut at high engine speeds. Always cut
with the engine running at full speed. Fully
squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a
steady cutting speed.
Do not overreach or cut above chest height.
Follow the manufacturer’s sharpening and
maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
Only use replacement bars and chains speci-
fied by the manufacturer or the equivalent.
Do not operate a chain saw with one hand.
Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystand-
ers, or any combination of these persons may
result from one-handed operation. A chain saw
is intended for two-handed use.
Do not operate a chain saw when you are
fatigued. Fatigue causes carelessness. Never
operate a chain saw when you are tired, upset,
or under the influence of medication, drugs, or
alcohol.
Stay alert – Watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a chain saw. A
moment of inattention while operating the chain
saw may result in death or serious personal
injury.
Chain saw work can be strenuous. If you have
a medical condition that may be aggravated or
a disability that may prevent you from safely
operating and controlling the chain saw, check
with your doctor before using the chain saw.
Use safety footwear. Wear snug-fitting cloth-
ing, protective gloves, and eye, hearing, and
head protection devices.
Heavy protective clothing may increase
operator fatigue, which could lead to heat
stroke. During weather that is hot and humid,
heavy work should be scheduled for early morn-
ing or late afternoon hours when temperatures
are cooler.
Do not stand on any unstable surface while
using the chain saw, such as ladders, scaffolds,
trees, etc.
Use caution when handling fuel. Move the
chain saw at least 30 feet from the fueling point
before starting the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the
chain saw when starting or cutting with the
chain saw. Keep bystanders and animals out
of the work area.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear
work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat
path from the falling tree.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Page 3 — English
WARNING:
The warnings, labels, and instructions found
in this section of the operator’s manual are for
your safety. Failure to follow all instructions may
result in serious personal injury.
Do not cut vines and/or small underbrush (a
diameter of less than 3 in.).
Keep all parts of your body away from the
saw chain when the engine is running.
Always carry the chain saw with the engine
stopped and the brake engaged, the guide bar
and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away
from your body. When transporting the chain
saw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.
Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Be sure that the saw chain
stops moving when the throttle control trigger
is released.
Shut off the engine before setting the chain
saw down. Do not leave the engine running
unattended. As an additional safety precaution,
apply the chain brake prior to setting down the
saw.
Use extreme caution when cutting small-size
brush and saplings because slender mate-
rial may catch the saw chain and be whipped
toward you or pull you off balance.
When cutting a limb that is under tension,
be alert for springback so that you will not be
struck when the tension in the wood fibers is
released.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or
fuel mixture.
Do not start or operate the engine in a con-
fined space, building, near open windows, or
in other unventilated space where danger-
ous carbon monoxide fumes can collect.
Carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless,
and extremely dangerous gas, can cause
unconsciousness or death.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless
you have been specifically trained to do so.
Do not cut from a ladder, rooftop, or other
unstable support; this is extremely dangerous.
All chain saw service, other than the items
listed in the instruction manual and all main-
tenance, should be performed by competent
chain saw service personnel. (For example, if
improper tools are used to remove the flywheel
or if an improper tool is used to hold the flywheel
in order to remove the clutch, structural damage
to the flywheel could occur and subsequently
could cause the flywheel to burst.)
Always have a fire extinguisher available
when using chain saw.
Use only the replacement guide bars and low
kickback chains specified for the saw.
Do not adapt the powerhead to a bow guide
or use it to power any attachments or devices
not listed for the saw.
The gas powered saw is classified by CSA
Z62.1-15 as a Class 1C saw. It is intended for
infrequent use by homeowners, cottagers, and
campers, and for such general applications as
clearing, pruning, cutting firewood, etc. It is not
intended for prolonged use. Prolonged periods
of operation can cause circulatory problems in
the user’s hands due to vibration.
Save these instructions. Refer to them
frequently and use to instruct other users. If
you loan someone this tool, loan them these
instructions also.
Muffler surfaces are very hot during and after
operation of the chain saw; keep all body parts
away from the muffler. Serious burns may occur
if contact is made with the muffler.
Always hold the chain saw with both hands
when the engine is running. Use a firm grip
with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain
saw handles.

for adjustment and discontinue use until the
repair is made.
This product is intended for infrequent use
by homeowners and other occasional users
for general applications such as clearing, prun-
ing, cutting firewood, etc. It is not intended for
prolonged use. Prolonged periods of operation
can cause circulatory problems in the user’s
hands due to vibration. For such use, it may be
appropriate to use a product having an anti-
vibration feature.
REFUELING (DO NOT SMOKE!)
To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury,
handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable.
Mix and store fuel in a container approved for
gasoline.
Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks
or flames.
Select bare ground, stop the engine, and
allow it to cool before refueling.
Loosen the fuel cap slowly to release pressure
and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.
Tighten the fuel cap securely after refueling.
Wipe spilled fuel from the unit. Move 30 feet
away from refueling site before starting engine.
Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under
any circumstances.
KICKBACK
Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can
lead to serious injury. Do not rely only on the
safety devices provided with the saw. As a
chain saw user, you must take special safety
precautions to help keep your cutting jobs free
from accident or injury. See the General Safety
Rules and Operation sections of this manual
for added information on kickback and how to
avoid serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not use a replacement saw chain
unless it has been designated as meeting the
kickback performance requirements in ANSI/
OPEI B175.1-2012 on that specific power
head, or has been designated as low-kickback
replacement saw chain in accordance with
ANSI/OPEI B175.1-2012
Never let anyone use the chain saw who
has not received adequate instructions in its
proper use. This applies to rentals as well as
privately owned saws.
Before you start the engine, make sure the
saw chain is not contacting any object.
Wear snug-fitting clothing. Always wear heavy
long pants, boots, and gloves. Do not wear
jewelry, short pants, sandals, or go barefoot.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, which could
be drawn into the engine or catch the chain
or underbrush. Wear overalls, jeans, or chaps
made of cut-resistant material or ones that
contain cut-resistant inserts. Secure hair so that
it is above shoulder level.
Wear non-slip safety footwear and heavy-
duty gloves to improve your grip and to protect
your hands.
Wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hear-
ing and head protection, when operating this
equipment.
Keep bystanders and animals out of the work
area. Do not allow other persons to be nearby
during starting or cutting with the chain saw.
NOTE: The size of the work area depends on the
job being performed as well as the size tree or
workpiece involved. For example, felling a tree
requires a larger work area than making other
cuts (i.e., bucking cuts, etc.).
Keep SAFE-T-TIP anti-kickback nose guard
properly mounted on the guide bar to prevent
rotational kickback.
Follow the sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Never operate a chain saw that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or is not completely
and securely assembled. Be sure that the saw
chain stops moving when the throttle control
trigger is released. If the saw chain moves at
idle speed, the carburetor may need adjusting.
Refer to Adjusting the Carburetor in the Main-
tenance section of this manual. If the saw chain
still moves at idle speed after adjustment has
been made, contact a qualified service center

ing chain saw chains. They are formulated to extend
bar and chain life by protecting against wear and
reducing friction and heat. Chain saw should use
approximately one tank of lubricant per tank of fuel.
NOTE:
Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise con-
taminated lubricants. Damage will occur to the oil
pump, bar, or chain.
Carefully pour the bar and chain lubricant into
the oil tank.
Fill the oil tank every time you fuel the engine.
OPERATION

Fig. 3
OPERATING THE CHAIN BRAKE
See Figures 4 - 5.
Check the operating condition of the chain brake
prior to each use.
Engage the chain brake by rotating your left
hand around the front handle, allowing the back
of your hand to push the chain brake lever/hand
guard toward the bar while the chain is rotating
rapidly. Be sure to maintain both hands on the
saw handles at all times.
Reset the chain brake back into the RUN POSI-
TION by grasping the top of the chain brake
lever/hand guard and pulling toward the front
handle until you hear a click.
WARNING:
If the chain brake does not stop the chain
immediately, or if the chain brake will not stay
in the run position without assistance, take the
saw to an authorized service center for repair
prior to use.
NOTICE:
Before each use, check to make sure that the
chain is properly tensioned. A cold chain is cor-
rectly tensioned when there is no slack on the
underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug,
and it can be turned by hand without binding.
During normal saw operation, the temperature
of the chain increases. The drive links of a cor-
rectly tensioned warm chain will hang approxi-
mately .050 in. out of the bar groove.
See the Adjusting the Chain Tension instruc-
tions in the Maintenance section of this manual
to properly adjust the chain tension.

the engine is cold or warm.
WARNING:
Keep your body to the left of the chain line.
Never straddle the saw or chain, or lean over
past the chain line.
Place the chain saw on level ground and ensure
that no objects or obstructions are in the imme-
diate vicinity that could come in contact with the
bar and chain.
Hold the front handle firmly with your left hand
and put your right foot onto the base of the rear
handle.
To start a cold engine:
Make sure the chain brake is in the run position
by pulling back on the lever/hand guard.
Fully press and release the primer bulb 10 times.
Pull choke lever all the way out to FULL CHOKE
position.
When the temperature is above 50°F, pull the
starter grip and rope until the engine attempts
to start, but no more than 3 times. When the
temperature is below 50°F, pull the starter grip
and rope until the engine attempts to start, but
no more than 5 times.
Push choke lever in to RUN position.
Pull starter grip and rope until engine runs.
NOTE: Allow the saw to run in this posi-
tion 15–30 seconds, depending upon the
temperature.
Depress the trigger release and squeeze and
release the throttle trigger to return the engine to
idle after a total run time of at least 30 seconds.
NOTICE:
Failure to release partial throttle when chain
brake lever is in the brake position will result in
serious damage to the unit. Never squeeze and
hold the throttle trigger while the chain brake is
in the brake position.

Squeeze and release the throttle trigger to return
the engine to idle.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
See Figures 11 - 12.
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return
to idle. To stop the engine, fully press the stop
switch. Do not put the chain saw on the ground
when the chain is still moving. For additional safety,
set the chain brake when the saw is not in use.
In the event that the stop switch will not stop the
saw, pull the choke lever out to the fully extended
position (FULL CHOKE
) and engage chain brake to
stop the engine. If the stop switch will not stop the
saw when pressed, have the stop switch repaired
before using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe
conditions or serious injury.
NOTE:
When you are finished using the saw,
always relieve tank pressure by loosening, then
retightening, the chain oil and fuel caps. Allow the
engine to cool before storing.

IDLE SPEED
SCREW “T”
ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED
See Figure 13.
WARNING:
The chain will move around the guide bar when
adjusting the idle speed. Wear all protective
clothing and keep all bystanders, children, and
pets at least 50 ft. away. Make adjustments
with the unit supported on a stable surface so
that the chain/guide bar does not contact the
ground or any object. Keep all parts of your
body away from the chain/guide bar and muf-
fler. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury.
If the engine starts, runs, and accelerates,
but will not idle, turn the idle speed screw “T”
clockwise to increase idle speed.
If the chain turns at idle, turn the idle speed
screw “T” counterclockwise to reduce the
idle RPM and stop the chain movement. If the
saw chain still moves at idle speed, contact an
authorized service center for adjustment and
discontinue use until the repair is made.
WARNING:
THE SAW CHAIN SHOULD NEVER TURN AT
IDLE. Turn the idle speed screw “T” counter-
clockwise to reduce the idle RPM and stop the
chain, or contact an authorized service center
for adjustment and discontinue use until the
repair is made. Serious personal injury could
result from the saw chain turning at idle.
PULL AND PUSH
See Figure 14.
The reaction force of the saw is always opposite to
the direction the chain is moving. Thus, the operator
must be ready to control the PULL when cutting
on the bottom edge of the bar and the PUSH when
cutting along the top edge.
NOTE:
The chain saw has been fully factory
tested. It is normal to find some slight oil residue
on the saw.
OPERATION

PULL
PUSH
Page 17 — English
WARNING:
KICKBACK occurs when the moving chain
contacts an object at the upper portion of the
tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in
and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact
at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar
can cause the chain to dig into the object and
stop the chain for an instant. The result is a
lightning-fast reverse reaction which kicks the
guide bar up and back toward the operator. If
the saw chain is pinched along the top of the
guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly
back toward the operator. Either of these reac-
tions can cause loss of saw control, which can
result in serious injury.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices
built into the saw. As a chain saw user, you
should take steps to keep your cutting jobs
free from accident or injury. See General Safety
Rules for more details.
KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS
See Figures 15 - 16.
Rotational kickback occurs when the moving chain
contacts an object at the Kickback Danger Zone of
the guide bar. The result is a lightning-fast reverse
reaction, which kicks the guide bar up and back
towards the operator. This reaction can cause loss
of control, which can result in serious injury.
PREPARING FOR CUTTING
PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES
See Figure 17.
See General Safety Rules for appropriate safety
equipment.
Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and
protection.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands. Always
keep your left hand on the front handle and your
right hand on the rear handle so that your body
is to the left of the chain line.

WARNING:
Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip or
any stance that would place your body or arm
across the chain line. Improper operation of the
chain saw could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
DO NOT operate the throttle trigger with your
left hand and hold the front handle with your
right hand. Never allow any part of your body
to be in the chain line while operating a saw.
Improper operation of the chain saw could result
in serious personal injury.
CHAIN LINE
Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the
engine is running. The fingers should encircle
the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the
handlebar. This grip is least likely to be broken
by a kickback or other sudden reaction of the
saw. Any grip in which the thumb and fingers
are on the same side of the handle is dangerous
because a slight kick of the saw can cause loss
of control.
PROPER CUTTING STANCE
See Figure 18.
WARNING:
Alway use the proper cutting stance described
in this section. Never kneel when using the
chain saw except when felling a tree as shown
in figure 23b. Kneeling could result in loss of
stability and control of the saw resulting in seri-
ous personal injury.
Balance your weight with both feet on solid
ground.

Keep your thumb on underside of handlebar.
WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
See Figure 19.
Cut only wood or materials made from wood;
no sheet metal, no plastics, no masonry, no
non-wood building materials.
Never allow children to operate the saw. Allow
no person to use this chain saw who has
not read this operator’s manual or received
adequate instructions for the safe and proper
use of this chain saw.
Keep everyone – helpers, bystanders, children,
and animals, a safe distance from the cutting
area. During felling operations, the safe dis-
tance should be a least twice the height of the
largest trees in the felling area. During bucking
Page 19 — English
operations, keep a minimum distance of 15 feet
between workers.
Always cut with both feet on solid ground to
prevent being pulled off balance.
Do not cut above chest height as a saw held
higher is difficult to control against kickback
forces.
Do not fell trees near electrical wires or build-
ings. Leave this operation for professionals.
Cut only when visibility and light are adequate
for you to see clearly.
BASIC OPERATING/CUTTING
PROCEDURES
Practice cutting a few small logs using the following
technique to get the “feel” of using the saw before
you begin a major sawing operation.
Take the proper stance in front of the wood with
the saw idling.
Accelerate the engine to full throttle just before
entering the cut by squeezing the throttle trigger.
Begin cutting with the saw against the log.
Keep the engine at full throttle the entire time
you are cutting.
Allow the chain to cut for you; exert only light
downward pressure. Forcing the cut could result
in damage to the bar, chain, or engine.
Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is
completed allowing the engine to idle. Running
the saw at full throttle without a cutting load can
result in unnecessary wear to the chain, bar, and
engine.
Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of
the cut.

WARNING:
Closely check for broken or dead branches,
which could fall while cutting and do not cut
near buildings or electrical wires if you do not
know the direction of tree fall. Do not cut at
night or during bad weather conditions, such as
rain, snow, or strong winds, which can reduce
visibility and control of the chain saw. If the tree
you are felling makes contact with any utility
line, you should discontinue use of the chain
saw and immediately notify the utility company.
Failure to follow these instructions could result
in death or serious personal injury.
When felling a tree, it is very important that you
closely follow these warnings and instructions to
prevent possible death or serious personal injury.
Do not cut down trees having an extreme lean
or large trees with rotten limbs, loose bark,
or hollow trunks. Have these trees pushed or
dragged down with heavy equipment, then cut
them up.
Do not cut trees near electrical wires or
buildings.
Check the tree for damaged or dead branches
that could fall and hit you during felling.
Periodically glance at the top of the tree during
the backcut to assure the tree is going to fall in
the desired direction.
If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction,
or if the saw gets caught or hung up during the
fall, leave the saw and save yourself!
Felling a tree – When bucking and felling
operations are being performed by two or more
persons, at the same time, the felling operation
should be separated from the bucking operation
by a distance of at least twice the height of the
tree being felled. Trees should not be felled in a
manner that would endanger any person, strike
any utility line or cause any property damage.
If the tree does make contact with any utility
line, the utility company should be notified
immediately.
Before any cuts are started, pick your escape
route (or routes in case the intended route is
blocked); clear the immediate area around the
tree and make sure there are no obstructions

in your planned path of retreat. Clear paths of
safe retreat should extend back and diagonally
(45°) to the rear of the planned line of fall. When
the tree begins to fall, you should retreat away
from the direction of fall along a retreat path and
at least 20 feet away from the trunk in case it
kicks back over the stump. See Figure 20.
Before felling is started, consider the force and
direction of the wind, the lean and balance of
the tree, and the location of large limbs. These
things influence the direction in which the tree
will fall. Do not try to fell a tree along a line dif-
ferent from its natural line of fall.
