2. Log supported on 1 end: First, cut from bottom
(underbuck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoid splintering.
Second, cut from above (overbuck) to meet first cut
and avoid pinching (Fig. 13B).
3. Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck 1/3
diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second, under-
buck to meet first cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 13C).
NOTE:
The best way to hold a log while bucking is to use
a sawhorse. When this is not possible, the log should be
raised and supported by the limb stumps or by using
supporting logs. Be sure the log being cut is securely
supported.
• BUCKING USING A SAWHORSE
For personal safety and ease of cutting, the correct posi-
tion for vertical bucking is essential (Fig. 14).
VERTICAL CUTTING:
A.
Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep the
saw to the right of your body while cutting.
B.
Keep the left arm as straight as possible.
C.
Keep weight on both feet.
All chain saw service, other than items listed here in your
user manual maintenance instructions, should be per-
formed by a professional.
•
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
A good preventive maintenance program of regular
inspection and care will increase life and improve per-
formance of your Gardenline chain saw. This mainte-
nance checklist is a guide for such a program.
Cleaning, adjustment, and parts replacement may be
required, under certain conditions, at more frequent inter-
vals than those indicated.
•
AIR FILTER
TO CLEAN AIR FILTER:
1.
Remove the top cover (A) by loosening the cover
retaining screws. Cover will lift off. (Fig. 15A)
2.
Lift the air filter (B) out of air-box (C) (Fig. 15B).
3.
Clean air filter. Wash filter in clean, warm, soapy
water. Rinse in clear, cool water. Air dry completely.
NOTE:
It is advisable to have a supply of spare filters.
4.
Install air filter. Install engine / air filter cover. Make
sure cover fits properly. Tighten the cover retaining
screws securely.
•
FUEL FILTER
1.
Remove the fuel tank cap.
2.
Bend a piece of soft wire.
3.
Reach into fuel tank opening and hook fuel line.
Carefully pull the fuel line toward the opening until
you can reach it with your fingers.
NOTE:
Do not pull hose completely out of tank.
4.
Lift filter (A) out of tank (Fig. 16).
5.
Pull filter off with a twisting motion. Discard filter.
6.
Install new filter. Insert end of filter into tank opening.
Make sure filter sits in bottom corner of tank. Use a
long screwdriver to aid in filter placement if neces-
sary.
CAUTION
: While the saw is cutting, be sure
the chain and bar are being properly lubri-
cated.

CAUTION
: Never operate saw without the air fil-
ter. Dust and dirt will be drawn into engine and
damage it. Keep the air filter clean!
WARNING
: Never perform maintenance
when the engine is hot, to avoid any
chance of burning hands or fingers.

CAUTION
: Never operate your saw without
a fuel filter. The fuel filter should be replaced
after each 20 hours of use. Drain fuel tank
completely before changing filter.
TO TEST CHAIN BRAKE:
1. The Chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain can move)
when BRAKE LEVER IS PULLED BACK AND
LOCKED (Fig. 7A).
2. The Chain brake is ENGAGED (chain is stopped) when
brake lever is in forward position. You should not be
able to move chain (Fig. 7B).
NOTE:
The brake lever should snap into both positions. If
strong resistance is felt, or lever does not move into either
position, do not use your saw. Take it immediately to a
professional Service Center for repair.
Safety first: Flammable materials.
Fill chainsaw at least
4 metres away from work area.
No smoking!

FUEL
Use regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed with 40:1 cus-
tom 2-cycle engine oil for best results. Use mixing ratios
in Section
FUEL MIXING TABLE.
•
MIXING FUEL
Mix fuel with cycle oil in an approved container. Use mix-
ing table for correct ratio of fuel to oil. Shake container to
ensure thorough mix.
•
FUEL AND LUBRICATION
•
FUEL MIXING TABLE
•
RECOMMENDED FUELS
Some conventional petrols are being blended with oxy-
genates such as alcohol or an ether compound to meet
clean air standards. Your engine is designed to operate
satisfactorily on any gasoline intended for automotive use
including oxygenated petrols.
•
CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATION
Always refill the chain oil tank each time the fuel tank is
refilled. We recommend using oil which contains additives
to reduce friction and wear and to assist in the prevention
of pitch formation on the bar and chain. Seek the advice
of an authorised service centre for correct lubricant.
Always use in accordance with manufacturers instructions.
•
ENGINE PRE-START CHECKS
1. Fill the fuel tank (A) with correct fuel mixture. (Fig. 8).
2. Fill the oil tank (B) with correct chain and bar oil (Fig. 8).
3. Be certain the chain brake is disengaged (C) before start-
ing unit (Fig. 8).
•
TO START ENGINE
1. Press ON/OFF switch to the ON (I) position for starting.
(Fig. 9A)
2. Pull the choke (A) out as far as it will go until the choke
stays out. (Fig. 9B)
3. Push the primer bulb (B) 10 times (Fig. 9C).
4. Place saw on a firm, flat surface. Hold saw firmly as shown.
Pull starter rapidly 4 times. Beware of moving chain. (Fig. 9D)
NOTE:
If the engine sounds as if it is trying to start before
4 th pull, stop pulling and immediately proceed to the next
step.
5. Move choke lever (G) in completely. (Fig. 9E)
6. Hold saw firmly and pull starter rapidly 4 times. Engine
should start.
7. Warm up for 10 seconds. Depress and release trigger (H)
for idle (Fig. 9F)
8. If engine failed to start, repeat these instructions.

FUEL AND LUBRICATION
WARNING
: Never use straight gasoline in your
unit. This will cause permanent engine damage
and void the manufacturer’s warranty for that
product. Never use a fuel mixture that has been
stored for over 90 days.
WARNING
: If 2-cycle lubricant other than
Gardenline Custom Lubricant is to be used, it
must be a premium grade oil for 2-cycle air
cooled engines mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use
any 2-cycle oil product with a recommended
mixing ratio of 100:1. If insufficient lubrication is
the cause of engine damage, it voids the manu-
facturer’s engine warranty for that occurrence.
WARNING
: Lack of lubrication voids engine
warranty.
