CHAIN TENSION (Including units

with chain already installed)

WARNING

: Wear protective gloves

when handling chain. The chain is sharp and
can cut you even when it is not moving.

NOTE:

When adjusting chain tension,

make sure the bar nuts are finger tight only.
Attempting to tension the chain when the bar
nuts are tight can cause damage.

Checking the tension:

Use the screwdriver end of the chain adjust-
ment tool (bar tool) to move chain around
guide bar. If the chain does not rotate, it is too
tight. If the chain is too loose, it will sag below
the bar.

Adjusting the tension:

Chain tension is very important. Chains
stretch during use. This is especially true
during the first few times you use your saw.
Always check chain tension each time you
use and refuel your saw.

1. Loosen bar nuts until they are finger tight

against the clutch cover.

2. Turn adjusting screw clockwise until chain

solidly contacts bottom of guide bar rail.

counterclockwise. Retighten bar nuts.

8. If chain is too loose, it will sag below the

guide bar. DO NOT operate the saw if the
chain is loose.

WARNING

: If the saw is operated

with a loose chain, the chain could jump off
the guide bar and result in serious injury.

WARNING

: Muffler is very hot during

and after use. Do not touch the muffler or al-
low combustible material such as dry grass
or fuel to do so.

OPERATING YOUR UNIT

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

WARNING

: Be sure to read the fuel

information in the safety rules before you be-
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Contact an
authorized service dealer.

BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION

The bar and chain require continuous lubri-
cation. Lubrication is provided by the auto-
matic oiler system when the oil tank is kept

filled. Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain. Too little oil will cause overheating
shown by smoke coming from the chain and/
or discoloration of the bar. Only use Bar and
Chain Oil for bar and chain lubrication.

FUELING ENGINE

WARNING

: Remove fuel cap slowly

when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on unleaded
gasoline. Before operation, gasoline must be
