1. For safe operation

1. Never operate a chain saw when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or under the influence of medication that may make you drowsy, or if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

1. Use safety footwear, snug fitting clothing and eye, hearing and head protection devices. Use the vibration-proof glove.
2. Keep the saw chain sharp and the saw, including the AV system, well maintained. A dull chain will increase cutting time, and pressing a dull chain through wood will increase the vibrations transmitted to your hands. A saw with loose components or with damaged or worn AV buffers will also tend to have higher vibration levels.
3. All the above mentioned precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and regular users should monitor closely the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately.
4. Always use caution when handling fuel. Wipe up all spills and then move the chain saw at least 3m from the fueling point before starting the engine.
5. Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (i.e. smoking, open flames, or work that can cause sparks) in the areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored.
6. Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the chain saw.
7. Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting or cutting. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. Children, pets and bystanders should be a minimum of 10m away when you start or operate the chain saw.

1. Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.
2. Always hold the chain saw firmly with both hands when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumb and fingers encircling the chain saw handles.

1. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running.

12.Before you start the engine, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything.
13. Always carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from your body.
14. Never modify the unit or remove the safety components in any way. Do not use your unit for any job except that for which it is intended. Use only genuine Tanaka replacement parts as recommended by the manufacturer.
15. Always inspect the chain saw before each use for worn, loose, or damaged parts. 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.
16. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the Owner's Manual, should be performed by competent chain saw service personnel. (E.g., 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 which could subsequently cause the flywheel to disintegrate.)
17. Always shut off the engine before setting it down.

1. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
2. 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.
   20.Never cut in high wind, bad weather, when visibility is poor or in very high or low temperatures. Always check the tree for dead branches which could fall during the felling operation.
3. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.
4. Operate the chain saw only in well ventilated areas. Never start or run the engine inside a closed room or building. Exhaust fumes contain dangerous carbon monoxide.
5. For respiratory protection, wear a protection mask while emitting the chain oil mist and dust from sawdust.
6. Do not operate the chain saw in a tree unless specially trained to do so.
7. Guard against kickback. Kickback is the upward motion of the guide bar which occurs when the saw chain at the nose of the guide bar contacts an object. Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.
8. When transporting or storage your chain saw, make sure the appropriate guide bar protector is in place.
9. Clean and maintenance the unit carefully and store it in the dry place.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR CHAIN SAW USERS

WARNING

• 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 towards the operator. 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 personal injury.
• Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user you should take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident or injury.
  (1) With a basic understanding of kickback you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
  (2) Keep a good grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw.
  (3) Make certain that the area in which you are cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction which could be hit while you are operating the saw.
  (4) Cut at high engine speeds.
  (5) Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
  (6) Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.
  (7) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent.

NOTE

A new chain will expand its length in the beginning of use. Check and readjust the tension frequently as a loose chain can easily derail or cause rapid wear of itself and the guide bar.

5. Fuel and Chain Oil

FUEL

WARNING

Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 3m (10 ft) away from the fueling point before starting the engine.

• The Tanaka Kogyo engines are lubricated by oil specially formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use. If Tanaka Kogyo oil is not available, use an anti-oxidant added quality oil expressly labeled for air-cooled 2-cycle engine use (JASO FC GRADE OIL or ISO EGC GRADE).

• Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-cooling type) mixed oil.

RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO GASOLINE 50 : OIL 1

• Exhaust emission are controlled by the fundamental engine parameters and components (eq., carburation, ignition timing and port timing) without addition of any major hardware or the introduction of an inert material during combustion.
• These engines are certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.
  Make sure to use gasoline with a minimum octane number of 89RON (USA/Canada: 87AL).
• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane value than prescribed, there is a danger that the engine temperature may rise and an engine problem such as piston seizing may consequently occur.
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to reduce the contamination of the air for the sake of your health and the environment.
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the engine.

HOW TO MIX FUEL

WARNING

- Pay attention to agitation.

1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline and oil to be mixed.
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean, approved fuel container.
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.
4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to

agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early piston seizing due to abnormally lean mixture.

1. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers.
2. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy identification.

FUELING THE UNIT

1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a dustless place.
2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity.
3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel spillage around the unit.

WARNING

1. Select flat and bare ground for fueling.
2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling point before starting the engine.
3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that time, be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline in the container.

FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID:

1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) - It will cause severe damage to the internal engine parts very quickly.
2. GASOHOL - It can cause deterioration of rubber and/or plastic parts and disruption of engine lubrication.
3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE - It can cause spark plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring sticking.
4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a period of one month or more may clog the carburetor and result in the engine failing to operate properly.
5. In the case of storing the product for a long period of time, clean the fuel tank after rendering it empty. Next, activate the engine and empty the carburetor of the composite fuel.
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed oil container, scrap it only at an authorized repository site.

解 NOTE

As for details of quality assurance, read the description in the section Limited Warranty carefully. Moreover, normal wear and change in product with no functional influence are not covered by the warranty. Also, be careful that, if the usage in the instruction manual is not observed as to the mixed gasoline, etc. described therein, it may not be covered by the warranty.

CHAIN OIL

Use motor oil SAE #10W-30 all year round or SAE #30 ~ #40 in summer and SAE #20 in winter.

NOTE

Do not use wasted or regenerated oil that can cause damage to the oil pump.

6. Operating the Engine

WARNING

• It is very dangerous to run a chainsaw that mounts broken parts or lacks any parts. Before starting engine, make sure that all the parts including bar and chain are installed properly.

When restarting immediately after stopping the engine, set the Choke knob in the first-stage position (choke open and throttle lever in the starting position).

解 NOTE

Once the choke knob has been pulled out, it will not return to the operating position even if you press down on it with your finger. When you wish to return the choke knob to the operating position, pull out the throttle lever instead.

1. While holding the saw unit securely on the ground, pull the starter rope vigorously.

• Do not start the engine while the chain saw hangs in one hand. The saw chain may touch your body. This is very dangerous.

GB-10

1. When engine has ignited, first push in the choke knob to the first-stage position and then pull the starter again to start the engine.
2. Allow the engine to warm up with the throttle lever pulled slightly.

WARNING

• Keep clear of the saw chain as it will start rotating upon starting of engine.

CHECKING THE OIL SUPPLY

WARNING

Make sure to set up the bar and the chain when checking the oil supply. If not, the rotating parts may be exposed. It is very dangerous.

After starting the engine, run the chain at medium speed and see if chain oil is scattered off as shown in the figure.

The chain oil flow can be changed by inserting a screwdriver in the hole on bottom of the clutch side. Adjust according to your work conditions.

The oil tank should become nearly empty by the time fuel is used up. Be sure to refill the oil tank every time when refueling the saw.

ADJUSTING THE CARBURETOR

(1) L needle
(2) H needle
(3) Idle adjusting screw

The carburetor on your unit has been factory adjusted, but may require fine tuning due to a change in operating conditions.

Before adjusting the carburetor, make sure that the provided air/fuel filters are clean and fresh and the fuel properly mixed.

When adjusting, take the following steps:

图NOTE

Be sure to adjust the carburetor with the bar chain attached.

1. H and L needles are restricted within the number of turn as shown below.

H needle: - 1/4 L needle: - 1/4

1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up in low speed for a few minutes.
2. Turn the idle adjusting screw (T) counterclockwise so that the saw chain does not turn. If the idling speed is too slow, turn the screw clockwise.
3. Make a test cut and adjust the H needle for best cutting power, not for maximum speed.

CHAIN BRAKE

This machine is equipped with an automatic brake to stop saw chain rotation upon occurrence of kickback during saw cutting. The brake is automatically operated by inertial force, which acts on the weight fitted inside the front guard.

This brake can also be operated manually with the front guard turned down to the guide bar.

To release the brake, pull up the front guard toward the front handle till a "click" sound is heard.

[Caution]

Be sure to confirm brake operation during daily inspection.

How to confirm:

1) Turn off the engine.
2) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your hand from the front handle, hit the tip of the guide bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and confirm brake operation. Operating level varies by bar size.

In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer for inspection and repairs.

If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with the brake engaged, the clutch will overheat causing trouble.

When the brake engages during operation, immediately release the throttle lever to stop the engine.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine to idle for a few minutes.
2. Set the switch to the "O" (STOP) position.

Carburetor anti-freeze mechanism

Operating chain saws in temperatures of 0 - 5^ at times of high humidity may result in ice forming within the carburetor, and this in turn may cause the output power of the engine to be reduced or for the engine to fail to operate smoothly.

This product has accordingly been designed with a ventilation hatch on the right side of the surface of the cylinder cover to allow warm air to be supplied to the engine and to thereby prevent icing from occurring.

Under normal circumstances the product should be used in the normal operating mode, i.e., in the mode to which it is set at the time of shipment. However when the possibility exists that icing may occur, the unit should be set to operate in the anti-freeze mode before use.

(1) Air cleaner cover
(2) Shutter plate
(3) Screw

(4) Normal operating mode
(5) Anti-freeze mode
(6) Screen

WARNING

• Continuing to use the product in the anti-freeze mode even when temperatures have risen and returned to normal, may result in the engine failing to start properly or in the engine failing to operate at its normal speed, and for this reason you should always be sure to return the unit to the normal operating mode if there is no danger of icing occurring.

HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN OPERATING MODES

1. Flip the engine switch to turn off the engine.
2. Remove the air cleaner cover from the cylinder cover
3. Loosen a screw and remove the screen on the back of the air cleaner cover.
4. Turn the screen a half and reinstall to the cover.

When using the saw with the anti-freeze mode, frequently check the screen and keep it clean of saw dust.

7. Sawing

WARNING

• Before proceeding to your job, read the section "For Safe Operation". It is recommended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get accustomed to your unit.

• Always follow the safety regulations. The chain saw must only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut other types of material. Vibrations and kickback vary with different materials and the requirements of the safety regulations would not be respected. Do not use the chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects. Do not lock it over fixed stands. It is forbidden to hitch tools or applications to the PTO other than those specified by the manufacturer.

• When completing a cut, be ready to hold up the unit as it breaks into clear, so it will not follow through and cut your legs, feet or body, or contact an obstruction.
  Always keep the spiked bumper face to a tree, because the chain may suddenly be drawn into a tree.

• It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure while running the engine at full throttle.
• When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force, but use a wedge or a lever to open the way.

• This saw is equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain in the event of kickback if operating properly. You must check the chain brake operation before each usage by running the saw at full the throttle for I -

2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward. The chain should stop immediately with the engine at full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or does not stop, replace the brake band and clutch drum before use.

It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked for proper operation before each use and that the chain be sharp in order to maintain the kickback safety level of this saw. Removal of the safety devices, inadequate maintenance, or incorrect replacement of the bar or chain may increase the risk to serious personal injury due to kickback.

FELLING A TREE

1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind, lean of the tree, location of heavy branches, ease of completing the task after felling and other factors.
2. While clearing the area around the tree, arrange a good foothold and retreat path.
3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree on the felling side.
4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch and at a level slightly higher than the bottom of the notch.

WARNING

• When you fell a tree, be sure to warn neighboring workers of the danger.

Bucking and Limbing

WARNING

Always ensure your foothold. Do not stand on the log.
- Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log. Especially when working on a slope, stand on the uphill side of the log.
- Follow the instructions in "For Safe Operation" to avoid kickback of the saw.

Before starting work, check the direction of bending force inside the log to be cut. Always finish cutting from the opposite side of the bending direction to prevent the guide bar from being caught in the cut.

A log lying on the ground

Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut from the opposite side.

A log hanging off the ground

In area A, saw up from the bottom one-third and finish by sawing down from the top. In area B, saw down from the top one-third and finish by sawing up from the bottom.
