GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this unit does not cover

items that have been subjected to operator

abuse or negligence. To receive full value

from the warranty, the operator must main-

tain unit as instructed in this manual. Various

adjustments will need to be made periodical-

ly to properly maintain your unit.

S

Once a year, replace the spark plug, air filter,

and check guide bar and chain for wear. A

new spark plug and air filter assures proper

air-fuel mixture and helps your engine run

better and last longer.

CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR

WORN PARTS

Contact an authorized service dealer for re-

placement of damaged or worn parts.

NOTE:

It is normal for a small amount of oil

to appear under the saw after engine stops.

Do not confuse this with a leaking oil tank.

S

ON/STOP Switch -- Ensure ON/STOP

switch functions properly by moving the

switch to the STOP position. Make sure en-

gine stops; then restart engine and continue.

S

Fuel Tank -- Do not use saw if fuel tank

shows signs of damage or leaks.

S

Oil Tank -- Do not use saw if oil tank shows

signs of damage or leaks.

CHECK FOR LOOSE

FASTENERS AND PARTS

S

Bar Nuts

S

Chain

S

Muffler

S

Cylinder Shield

S

Air Filter

S

Handle Screws

S

Vibration Mounts

S

Starter Housing

S

Front Hand Guard

CHECK CHAIN SHARPNESS

A sharp chain makes wood chips. A dull

chain makes a sawdust powder and cuts

slowly. See CHAIN SHARPENING.

CHECK GUIDE BAR

Conditions which require guide bar mainte-

nance:

S

Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.

S

Saw has to be forced through the cut.

S

Inadequate supply of oil to bar/chain.

Check the condition of guide bar each time

chain is sharpened. A worn guide bar will

damage the chain and make cutting difficult.

After each use, ensure ON/STOP switch is

in the STOP position, then clean all sawdust

from the guide bar and sprocket hole.

To maintain guide bar:

S

Move ON/STOP switch to STOP.

S

Loosen and remove bar nuts and clutch

cover. Remove bar and chain from saw.
