CHAINSAWS are designed for cuttng wood only.

KICK-BACK MAY OCCUR WHEN THE NOSE OF THE GUIDE BAR touches an objector when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. The nose of guide bar contact in some cases may cause à 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 buil into your saw. Às a chainsaw user, you should take several steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident or injury.

1. With a basic understanding of kick-back, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.

2. Keep a good fm 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 fngers encircling the chainsawr handles. À fm grip together with a stiffleft arm will help you maintain control of the saw if Kick-back occurs.

3. Make sure that the area in which you are cuttng 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.

4. Cutathigh engine speeds. Always cutwith the engine running at full speed. Fully squeeze the throttle trigger and maintain a steady cutting speed

5. Do not overreach or cut above chest height.

6. Follow the manufacturer's sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain

PGEDODPOMDOPDMPPMÉEMEODHMMEMMEHES GENERAL SAFETY RULES

7. Use only replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent.

DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW WITH ONE HAND. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, and/or bystanders may result from one-handed operation. À chainsaw is intended for two-handed use.

DO NOT OPERATE À CHAINSAW WHEN YOU ARE FATIGUED. Never operate a chainsaw when you are tired or under the infuence of medication, drugs, or alcohol

USE SAFETY FOOTWEAR. Wear snug-fitting clothing, protective gloves, and eye, hearing, and head protection devices.

DO NOT STAND ON ANY UNSTABLE SURFACE while using your chainsaw: that includes ladders, scaffolds, trees, etc

USE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING FUEL. Move the chainsaw at least 50 feet (15 m) from the refuelling point before starting the engine.

DO NOT ALLOW OTHER PERSONS to be near the chainsaw when starting or cutting with the chainsaw. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area DO NOT START CUTTING until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and à planned retreat path from the falling tree.

KEEP ALL PARTS OF YOUR BODY away from the saw chain when the engine is running

ALWAYS CARRY THE CHAINSAW WITH THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE BRAKE ENGAGED, the guide bar and saw chain to the rear, and the silencer away from your body. When trans porting the chainsaw, use the appropriate guide bar scabbard.

DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW THAT IS DAMAGED, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Be sure thatthe saw chain stops moving when the throttie control trigger is released. TURN OFF THE ENGINE before putting the chainsawr down. DO NOT leave the engine running unattended As an additional safety precaution, apply the chain brake before putting down the saw

USE EXTREME CAUTION when cuttng smallsize brush and saplings because slender material may catch the saw chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off balance.

WHEN CUTTING A LIMB under tension, be alert for spring-back so that you will not be struck when the tension in the wood fibres is released

= KEEP THE HANDLES dry, clean, and free ofoil or fuel

OPERATE THE CHAINSAW ONLY in well-ventilated areas

DO NOT OPERATE A CHAINSAW IN A TREE unless you have been specifically trained to do so

ALWAYS HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AVAILABLE WHEN USING CHAIN SAW.

Use guide bar cover during transport and storage. The chain saw should always be used with correctiy mounted spiked bumper.

FOLLOW THE SHARPENING and maintenance instructions for the saw chain.

USE ONLY THE REPLACEMENT GUIDE BARS and low kick-back chains specified for your saw:

DO NOT adapt your powerhead to a bow guide oruse it to power any attachments or devices not listed for your saw

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequentiy and use to instruct other users. If you lend someone this tool, lend them these instructions also

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES WARNING The warnings, labels, and instructions found in this section ofthe operators manual are for your safety. Failure to follow allinstructions may resultin serious personal injury.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS DO NOT CUT VINES and/or small undergrowth (less than 76 mm (3 in.) in diameter)

MUFFLER SURFACES ARE VERY HOT during and after operation of the chainsaw; keep all body parts away from the muffer. Serious burns may occur if contact is made with the muffler.

ALWAYS HOLD THE CHAINSAW WITH BOTH HANDS when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fngers encircling the chainsaw handles NEVER LET ANYONE USE YOUR CHAINSAW 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.

OPERATE THE CHAINSAW only in well ventilated areas.

PGEDODPOMDOPDMPPMEÉMDEODHMMEMMENES SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES PROPER CLOTHING FOR SAFETY Wear close-fiting clothing. Always wear heawy, long trousers, boots, and gloves. Do not wear jewellery, shorts, sandals, or go barefoot. Do not wear loose- fiting clothing, which could be drawn into the engine or catch the chain or undergrowth. Wear overalls, jeans, or leggings 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, hearing, and head protection when operating this equipment.

REFUELLING (DO NOT SMOKE!)

To reduce the risk of fre and burn injury, handle fuel with care. Itis highly femmable.

Mix and store fuel in a container approved for petrol.

Mix fuel outdoors where there are no sparks or fames

Selectbare ground, stop the engine, and allow itto cool before refuelling.

Loosen the fuel cap slowly to release pressure and to keep fuel from escaping around the cap.

Tighten the fuel cap securely after refuelling

Wipe spilled fuel rom the unit. Move 15 m (50 ft.) away from refuelling site before starting engine.

Never attempt to burn off spilled fuel under any circumstances.

BASIC PRECAUTIONS IN THE CUTTING/ WORK AREA Do not operate a chainsaw in a tree.

Do not cut from a ladder: this is extremely dangerous.

Keep bystanders and animals outofthe work area. Do notallow other persons to be nearby during starting or cuttng with the chainsawr.

NOTE: The size ofthe 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, ie. bucking cuts etc.

PUSH AND PULL The reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving. Thus, the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cuttng on the bottom edge ofthe bar and the PUSH when cutting along the top edge

NOTE: Your chainsaw has been full factory tested

Itis normal to find some slight oil residue on the saw.

MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS Never perte a chainsaw that is damaged, improperty adjusted, or is not completely and securely assembled. Be sure thatthe saw chain stops moving when the throttle control trigger is released. If the saw chain moves at idiing speed, the carburettor may need adjusting. Refer to “Operation-Adjusting Idling Speed” later in this manual. Ifthe saw chain stil moves atidling speed after adjustment has been made, contact a Ryobi service dealer for adjustment and discontinue use until the repair is made

WARNING All chainsaw service, other than items in the operators manual maintenance instructions, should be performed by competent chainsaw service personnel. If improper tools are used to remove the fywheel or clutch, or an improper tool is used to hold the fywheel in order to remove the clutch, structural damage to the fywheel could occur which could subsequentÿy cause the fywheel to burst and serious injury could result.

KICK-BACK Kick-back is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury. Do not rely only on the safety devices provided with your saw. As à chainsaw user, you musttake special safety precautions to help keep your cuttng jobs free from accident or injury.

NOTE: Refer to “Operation” later in this manual for added information on kick-back and how to avoid serious personal injury.

It is designed for chains and chain oilers, and is formulated to perform over à wide temperature range with no dilution required. Chain saw should use approximately one tank of oil per tank of fuel.

NOTE: Do not use dirt, used, or otherwise contaminated oils. Damage may occur to the oil pump, bar, or chain.

Carefully pour the bar and chain oi into the oil tank Fillthe oil tank every time you fuel the engine.

OPERATING THE CHAIN BRAKE (Fig. 4-5)

Check the operating condition of the chain brake prior to each use

= Usingthe backof yourlefthand, engage the chain brake by pushing the chain brake lever/hand guard toward

the bar while the chain is rotating rapidly. Reset the chain brake back into the RUN position by grasping the top of the chain brake leverihand guard

and pulling toward the front handle until you hear à click

À Ifthe chain brake does notstop the chain immediately, or ifthe chain brake will not stay in the run position without assistance, take the saw to an authorized service center for repair prior to use.

STARTING THE ENGINE (Fig. 6 - 10) The starting method differs depending on whether 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 pastthe chain line.

Place the chain saw on level ground and ensure that no objects or obstructions are in the immediate vicinity that could come in contact with the bar and chain. To prevent rapid dulling of the chain, do not allow the bar and chain to contact dirt on the ground

Hold the fronthandle frmiy with your lefthand and put your right foot onto the base of the rear handle

To Start a Cold Engine:

= Setthe ignition switch to the RUN (1) position

= Make sure the chain brake is in the run position by puling back on the lever/hand guard.

= Fuly press and release the primer bulb 4 times.

= Pullchoke knob allthe way outto FULL CHOKE (|--|) position.

= Pullthe starter grip until the engine attempts to start, but no more than 5 times.

= Push choke knob to HALF CHOKE ([-) position

= Pullstarter grip until engine runs. NOTE: Allow the saw to run in this position 15-30 seconds, depending upon the temperature.

= Push the choke knob in to the RUN (Æ) position.

À Faire 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 throtte trigger while the chain brake is in the brake position.

To Start a Warm Engine:

= Setthe ignition switch to the RUN (1) position

= Make sure the chain brake is in the run position by pullng back on the leverihand guard.

= Fuly press and release the primer bulb 4 times.

= Pullstarter grip until engine runs.

STOPPING THE ENGINE (FIG. 11 - 12)

Release the throttle trigger and let the engine retum to idle. To stop the engine, move the ignition switch to the STOP (@) position. Do notputthe chain saw on the ground when the chain is still moving. For additional safety, setthe chain brake when the saw is notin use

In the event that the ignition switch will not stop the saw, pullthe choke knob outto the fully extended position (FULL CHOKE/|--|) and engage chain brake to stop the engine. Ifthe ignition switch will not stop the saw when set to the STOP position, have the ignition switch repaired before using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe conditions orserious injury

NOTE: When you are fnished using the saw, always relieve tank pressure by loosening, then retightening, the chain oil and fuel mix caps. Allow the engine to cool before storing.

PEDDODODOPDPEMDEMDPEMHMMEMMEHES OPERATION ADJ USTING IDLE SPEED = _lfthe engine starts, runs, and accelerates, but will not idle, tum the ide speed screw “T” clockwise to increase idle speed.

Ifthe chain turns atidle, tum the idle speed screw “T” counterclockuise 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 Tu the idle speed screw ‘T” counterclockwise 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 may result from the saw chain tuming atidie.

PULL AND PUSH (Fig. 14) The reaction force of the saw is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving. Thus, the operator must be ready to controlthe 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.

KICKBACK PRECAUTIONS (Fig. 15 - 16)

WARNING KICKBACK occurs when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion ofthe tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact atthe upper portion of the tip ofthe guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object and stop the chain for an instant. The resultis a lightning-fast reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator. lfthe saw chain is pinched along the top ofthe guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly back toward the operator. Either ofthese reactions can cause loss of saw control, which can result in serious injury.

Do notrely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the saw. As à chain saw user, you should take steps to keep your cutting jobs free from accidentor injury. See General Safety Rules for more details.

PREPARING FOR CUTTING PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES (Fig. 17)

WARNING Never use a lef-handed {cross-handed) grip or any stance that would place your body or arm across the chain line.

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 à saw

PROPER CUTTING STANCE (Fig. 18)

= Balance your weight with both feet on solid ground

= Keep left arm with elbow locked in à “straight arm” position to withstand any kickback force.

= Keep your body to the leftofthe chain line.

= Keep your thumb on underside of handlebar.

WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS (Fig. 19) = Cutoniy 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 operators manual or received adequate instructions for the safe and proper use of this chain saw

Keep everyone - helpers, bystanders, children, and animals, à SAFE DISTANCE from the cuting area. During felling operations, the safe distance should be à leasttwice the heightofthe largesttrees in the felling area. During bucking operations, keep à minimum distance of 4.5 m between workers

Always cut with both feet on solid ground to prevent being pulled off balance.

Do not cut above chest height as à saw held higher is difficult to control against kickback forces.

Do notfelltrees nearelectrical wires or buildings. Leave this operation for professionals.

Cutonly when visibility and light are adequate for you to see cleary.

PEDDODODOPDPEMDEMDPEMHMMEMMEHES OPERATION BASIC OPERATING/CUTTING PROCEDURES Practice cuttnga fewsmalllogs usingthe following technique to getthe “feel” of using the saw before you begin à major sawing operation

Take the proper stance in front of the wood with the saw idiing,

Accelerate the engine to full throttl justbefore entering the cut by squeezing the throttie trigger.

Begin cuting with the saw against the log.

Keep the engine at full throttle the entire time you are cutting

Allow the chain to cutfor you; exertoniy light downward pressure. Forcing the cut could resultin 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 à cuttng load can result in unnecessary wear to the chain, bar, and engine

Do not put pressure on the saw at the end ofthe cut.

FELLING TREES - HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS (Fig. 20)

WARNING Do notfelltrees during periods ofhigh wind orheavy precipitation. Wait unti the hazardous weather has ended.

When felling a tree, tis importantthat you heed the following warnings to prevent possible serious injury.

Wear eye, hearing, and head protection (A) when operating this equipment.

Do notcut down trees having an extreme lean or large trees with rotten or dead limbs, loose bark, or hollow trunks. Have these trees pushed or dragged down with heavy equipment, then cut them up.

Consider the distribution and weight of heavy limbs (8).

Clear outthe undergrowth around the tree to be felled (C).

Do not cuttrees near electrical wires or buildings (D) Consider the direction in which the tree leans (E).

Check the tree for damaged or dead branches which could fall and hit you during felling (F).

= Periodically glance at the top of the tree during the back-cutto assure the tree is going to fallinthe desired direction.

= Keep all bystanders at a safe distance (G) (at least twice the height of the tree)

= Prepare a path of safe retreat (H).

= _lfthe tree starts to fall in the wrong direction, or ifthe saw gets caught or hung up during the fall, leave the saw and save yourself!

= Considerthe wind direction before felling a tree.

=“ Do not fell trees near power lines or near buildings which could be struck by falling limbs or the tree itself.

= The chainsaw operator should keep on the uphil side ofthe terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after is felled.

= Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and

wire from the tree where felling cuts are to be made.

WARNING Do NOT fell trees near power lines or near buildings which could be struck by falling limbs or the tree itself.

PROPER PROCEDURE FOR TREE FELLING (Fig. 21 -24)

1. Pick yourescape route (or routes in case the intended route is blocked). Clearthe immediate area around the tree and make sure there are no obstructions in your planned path of retreat. Clear the path of safe retreat approximately 135° from the planned line of fall (A) Consider the force and direction ofthe wind, the lean and balance ofthe 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 à line different from its natural line of fall (B).

Cut a notch about 1/3 the diameter of the trunk in the side ofthe tree (C). Make the notch cuts so they intersect at right angles to the line of fall. This notch should be cleaned out to leave a straight line

To keep the weight of the wood off the saw, always make the lower cut of the notch before the upper cut. Make the back-cut (D) level and horizontal, and at à minimum of 5 cm above the horizontal cut of the notch

PEDDODODOPDPEMDEMDPEMHMMEMMEHES OPERATION NOTE: Never cut through to the notch. Always leave à band of wood between the notch and back cut {approximately 5 cm or 1/10 the diameter of the tree). This is called à “hinge” or ‘hingewood” (E).

It controls the fall of the tree and prevents slipping or twisting or shoot-back of the tree off the stump.

On large diameter trees, stop the back cut before itis deep enough for the tree to either fall or settie back on the stump. Then insert soft wooden or plastic wedges (F) into the cut so they do not touch the chain. Drive wedges in, lite by lite, to help jack the tree over.

As tree starts to fall, stop the chainsaw and putit down immediately. Retreatalong the cleared path, but watch the action in case something falls your way.

A WARNING Never cutthrough to the notch when making a back cut. The hinge controls the fall ofthe tree: this is the section of wood between the notch and back-cut.

REMOVING BUTTRESS ROOTS (Fig. 25) À buttress root is a large root extending from the trunk of the tree above the ground. Remove large buttress roots prior to felling. Make the horizontal cut (A) into the buttress fist followed by the vertical cut (B). Remove the resulting loose section (C) from the work area. Follow the correct tree feling procedure after you have removed the large butress roots. Refer to “Operation - Proper Procedure for Tree Felling” earier in this manual.

BUCKING (Fig. 26) Bucking is the term used for cuttng a fallen tree to the desired log length

Cut only one log at a time.

Support small logs on a sawing stand or another log while bucking.

Keep a clear cutting area. Make sure that no objects can contactthe guide bar nose and chain during cutting this can cause kick-back (A).

During bucking operations, stand on the uphill side so that the cut-off section of the log cannot roll over you Sometimes itis impossible to avoid pinching (with just standard cutting techniques) or difficultto predictwhich way à log will settle when cut.

BUCKING WITH À WEDGE (Fig. 27) Ifthe wood diameter is large enough for you to insert a soft bucking wedge (B) without touching te chain, you should use the wedge to hold the cut open to prevent pinching.

BUCKING LOGS UNDER STRESS (Fig. 28) (C) LOG SUPPORTED AT ONE END.

(D) LOG SUPPORTED AT BOTH ENDS. Make the frstbucking cut(E) 1/3 ofthe way through the log and finish with a 2/3 cut (F) on the opposite side.

As you cutthe log, itwill tend to bend. The saw can become pinched or hung in the log if you make the fist cut deeper than 1/3 ofthe diameter ofthe log.

Give special attention to logs under stress (G) to prevent the bar and chain from pinching.

OVERBUCKING (Fig. 29) Begin on the top side of the log with the bottom ofthe saw against the log; exert light pressure downward. Note that the saw will tend to pull away from you

UNDERBUCKING (Fig. 30) Begin on the under side of the log with the top of the saw againstthe log; exert light pressure upward

During underbucking, the saw will tend to push back

atyou. Be prepared for this reaction and hold the saw frmly to maintain control.

LIMBING AND PRUNING (Fig. 31 - 32)

= Workslowly, keeping both hands on the saw with a firm grip. Maintain secure footing and balance.

= Keep the tree between you and the chain while limbing. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch you are cutting.

=“ Donotcutfrom a ladder: this is extremely dangerous. Leave this operation for professionals:

=“ Do notcutabove chestheightas a saw held higheris

difficult to control against kick-back.

WARNING Never climb into a tree to limb or prune. Do notstand on ladders, platforms, a log, orin any position which may cause you to lose your balance or control of the saw.

PEDDODODOPDPEMDEMDPDMHMMEMMEHES OPERATION When pruning trees itis important notto make the flush cutnext to the main limb or trunk until you have cut off the limb further out to reduce the weight. This prevents stripping the bark from the main member. 1. Underbuck the branch 1/3 through for your fist cut (a) 2. Overbuck the branch to drop it (B) 3. Finish by cutting smoothly and neatiy against the main member (C) so the bark will grow back to seal the wound

WARNING If the limbs to be pruned are above chest height, hire a professional to perform the pruning.

CUTTING SPRING POLES (Fig. 33) A spring pole (A) is any log, branch, rooted stump, or sapling which is bentunder tension by other wood so thatit springs back ifthe wood holding it is cut or removed. On a fallen tree, a rooted stump has a high potential of springing back to the upright position during the bucking cut to separate the log from the stump.

Watch out for spring-poles; they are dangerous

WARNING Spring poles are dangerous and could strike the operator causing the operator to lose control ofthe chainsaw. This could result in severe or fatal injury to the operator.

MAINTENANCE WARNING When servicing, use only identical Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage

WARNING Almays wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged bytheiruse. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oi, grease, etc.

WARNING Do notatany time letbrake flids, petrol, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may resuitin serious personal injury.

= Place the chain drive links (C) into the bar groove (D)

PEDDODODOPDPEMDEMDPDMHMMEMMEHES MAINTENANCE Position the chain so there is a loop atthe back ofthe bar.

Hold the chain in position on the bar and place the loop around the sprocket (E)

Fitthe bar flush against the mounting surface 50 that the bar studs are in the long slot of the bar.

NOTE: When placing the bar on the bar studs (F), ensure thatthe adjusting pin (G) is in the chain tension pin hole (H).

Replace the clutch cover (1) and bar mounting nuts Ü).

Finger-tighten the bar mounting nuts. The bar must be free to move for tension adjustment.

Remove all slack from the chain by tuming the chain tensioning screw (K) clockwise until the chain seats snugly against the bar with the drive links in the bar groove.

Liftthe tip of the guide bar up to check for sag

Release the tip of the guide bar and tum the chain tensioning screw 1/2 turn clockwise. Repeat this process until sag does not exist.

Hold the tip of the guide bar up and tighten the bar mounting nuts securely.

The chain is correctly tensioned when there is no sag on the underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug, but it can be tumed by hand without binding. Ensure that the chain brake is not set.

NOTE: {f chain is too tight, it will not rotate. Loosen the bar nuts slightiy and tum the tension adjuster 1/4 tu counterclockwise. Lift the tip of the guide bar up and retighten the bar nuts securely. Ensure thatthe chain will rotate without binding.

ADJ USTING THE CHAIN TENSION (Fig. 44 - 46)

WARNING PIN Never touch or adjust the chain while the motor is running. The saw chain is very sharp. Always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance on the chain.

Stop the engine before setting the chain tension:

Make sure the bar mounting nuts are loosened to fnger tight.

Tum the chain tensioning screw clockwise to tension the chain.

NOTE: A cold chain is correctiy tensioned when there

is no slack on the underside ofthe guide bar, the chain is snug, and it can be tumed by hand without binding Retension the chain whenever the flats on the drive links (A) hang out of the bar groove.

NOTE: During normal saw operation, the temperature of the chain increases. The drive links of a correctiy tensioned warm chain will hang approximately 1.25 mm. out of the bar groove. The tip of the combination wrench can be used as a guide to help determine the correct warm chain tension.

NOTE: New chains tend to stretch; check the chain tension frequentiy and tension as required

CAUTION À chain tensioned while warm may be too tightupon cooling. Check the “cold tension” before next use.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE (Fig. 47 - 48)

CAUTION Check thatthe switch is in the STOP “@" position before you work on the saw.

Use only a low-kickback chain on this saw. This fast- cuttng chain provides kickback reduction when property maintained.

For smooth and fast cutting, maintain the chain property

The chain requires sharpening when the wood chips are small and powdery, the chain must be forced through the wood during cuttng, or the chain cuts to one side. During maintenance of the chain, consider the following:

= Improperfling angle ofthe side plate can increase the risk of severe kickback.

= Raker (depth gauge) clearance (A) + Too low increases the potential for kickback. + Notlow enough decreases cutting ability.

= _lfthe cutter teeth hit hard objects such as naïls and

stones, or are abraded by mud or sand on the wood, have an authorized service center sharpen the chain:

NOTE: Inspect the drive sprocket (B) for wear or damage when replacing the chain. If signs of wear or damage are present in the areas indicated, have the drive sprocket replaced by an authorized service center.

NOTE: If you do notfully understand the correctprocedure for sharpening the chain after reading the instructions that follow, have the saw chain sharpened by an authorized service centerorreplace with a recommended low-kickback chain:

PEDDODODOPDPEMDEMDPDMHMMEMMEHES MAINTENANCE SHARPENING THE CUTTERS Parts of a cutter:

(8) Side plate (C) Depth gauge (D) Toe {)Gullet (F) Heel (G)Rivethole (H)Top plate

Be careful to fie all cutters to the specified angles and to

the same length, as fastcuttng can only be obtained when all cutters are uniform.

WARNING The saw chainis very sharp. Always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance to the chain to prevent serious personal injury.

Tension the chain prior to sharpening. Refer to Adjusting The Chain Tension

Use à 1.6 mm diameter round fie and holder (not provided). Do all of your fiing at the midpoint of the bar.

Keep the fie level with the top plate of the tooth. Do not letthe fie dip or rock.

Using light but frm pressure. Stroke towards the front comer ofthe tooth.

Liftthe fie away from the steel on each return stroke Put a few firm strokes on every tooth. File all left hand cutters (A) in one direction. Then move to the other side and fie the right hand cutters (8) in the opposite direction

Remove fiings from the fie with a wire brush.

CAUTION À dull or improperiy sharpened chain can cause excessive engine speed during cuttng, which may result in severe engine damage.

WARNING Improper chain sharpening increases the potential of kickback

WARNING Failure to replace or repair a damaged chain can cause serious injury.

TOP PLATE FILING ANGLE (Fig. 53)

(A) CORRECT 30° - fie holders are marked with guide marks to align fie properly to produce correct top plate angle.

(8) LESS THAN 30°- for cross cuttng

(C) MORE THAN 30° - feathered edge dulls quickly.

SIDE PLATE ANGLE (Fig. 54)

(D) CORRECT 80° - Produced automatically if you use the correct diameter fil in the fle holder.

(E) HOOK - "Grabs” and dulls quickly; increases the potential ofKICKBACK. Results from using a fie with à diameter too small or a flle held too low

(F)_ BACKWARD SLOPE - Needs too much feed

pressure; causes excessive wear to the bar and chain. Results from using a file with a diameter too large or fie held too high.

MAINTAINING DEPTH GAUGE CLEARANCE (Fig. 55 - 57)

= Maintain the depth gauge at a clearance of 0.6 mm. Use a depth gauge tool for checking the depth gauge clearances (A)

Every time the chain is fled, check the depth gauge clearance.

Use a flt fie (B){not provided) and à depth gauge jointer (C {not provided) to lower all gauges uniformiy. Use a 0.6 mm depth gauge jointer. After lowering each depth gauge, restore original shape by rounding the front. Be careful not to damage adjoining drive links with the edge of the fie

Depth gauges must be adjusted with the flat fie in the same direction the adjoining cutter was fled with the round fie. Use care notto contact cutter face with flat fie when adjusting depth gauges

MAINTAINING THE GUIDE BAR (Fig. 58)

CAUTION Make sure the chain has stopped before you do any work on the saw.

Every week of use, reverse the guide bar on the saw to

distibute the wear for maximum bar life.The bar should

be cleaned every day of use and checked for wear and damage

Feathering or burring of the bar rails is a normal process

ofbar wear. Such faults should be smoothed with à fle as

PEDDODODOPDPEMDEMDPDMHMMEMMEHES MAINTENANCE

À bar with any ofthe following faults should be replaced Wear inside the bar rails which permits the chain to lie over sideways;

Cracked or broken rails;

In addition, lubricate guide bars (with a sprocket at their tip) weekly. Using a grease syringe, lubricate weekly in the lubricating hole. Turn the guide bar and check that

the lubrication holes (A) and chain groove are free from impurities

CLEANING THE AIR CLEANER (Fig. 59 - 60)

CAUTION Make sure the air cleaneris correct placed in the air fiter cover before reassembiy. Never run the engine without the air fiter, serious damage could result.

ADJ USTING THE CARBURETOR (Fig. 61 - 63) Before adjusting the carburetor:

Use a brush or compressed air to clean the starter cover vents.

Clean the air cleaner (A). Refer to Cleaning the Air Cleaner in the Maintenance section of this manual.

Allow the engine to warm up prior to adjustment of engine idle speed

WARNING Weather conditions and altitude may affect carburetion. Do not allow bystanders close to the chain saw while adjusting the carburetor.

idie Speed Adjustment The idie speed adjustment controls how much the throttle valve stays open when the throttle trigger is released. To adjust

Tum idle speed screw “T” clockwise to increase idle speed

Turn idle speed screw “T” counterclockwise to decrease idle speed.

Make a test cut, then adjust the H needle for best cuttng power, not for maximum speed. The H needle is restricted to 1/4 turn.

WARNING THE SAW CHAIN SHOULD NEVER TURN AT IDLE. Serious personal injury may resultirom the saw chain turning at idle.

CLEANING THE STARTER UNIT (Fig. 62) Use a brush or compressed air to keep the cooling vents (8) ofthe starter assembly free and clean of debris

CARBURETOR ANTI-FREEZE MECHANISM (Fig. 64-65)

The chain saw is designed with a ventilation hatch on the right side of the cylinder cover which allows warm air to be supplied from the engine to the carburetor to help prevent icing under colder operating conditions. Operating the chain saw in temperatures from 32£F to 41£F (O2C to 52C) ättimes of high humidity may resultin ice forming within the carburetor. This can cause the output power of the engine to be reduced and/orthe engine to fail to operate smoothly. When operating underthese circumstances, the chain saw should be placed in anti-freeze mode before use.

To switch to anti-freeze mode: Place the ignition switch in the OFF (€ )position.

= Remove the air cleaner cover (A)

= Remove the air cleaner.

= Lift choke knob (E) up to remove from the cylnder cover (C)

= Loosen the fve screws holding the cylinder cover in place. Remove the cylinder cover.

= Adjust the icing cap so that the ‘snow’ mark faces upward, then return it to its original position in the cylinder cover.

= Replace the cylinder cover and reinstall screws to secure

= Replace choke knob, air cleaner, and air cleaner

WARNING Always return the unit to normal operating mode if there is no danger of icing occurring. Continuing to use the chain saw in anti-freeze mode when temperatures have risen and retumed to normal may result in the engine failing to start properly or in the engine failing to operate at its normal speed

PEDDODODOPDPEMDEMDPDMHMMEMMEHES MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE ENGINE (Fig. 66-67) Clean the cylinder fins (B) and flywheel fins (A) with compressed air or à brush periodically. Dangerous overheating of the engine may occur due to impurities on the cylinder.

WARNING Never run the saw without all the parts, including the drivecase cover and starter housing, securely in place.

Because parts can fracture and pose a danger of thrown objects, leave repairs of the fywheel and lutch to factory trained authorized service center personnel.

NOTE: If you notice a power loss with the gas-powered tool, the exhaust port and muffler may be blocked with carbon deposits. These deposits may need to be removed to restore performance.

CHECKING THE FUEL FILTER (Fig. 68) Check the fuel filter (8) periodically. Replace it if contaminated or damaged.

REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG (Fig. 69) This engine uses à Champion RZ7C or NGK CMR7H spark plug with 0,64 mm electrode gap. Use an exact replacementandreplace every 50 hours ormore frequentiy, ifnecessary.

Loosen the spark plug by tuming it counterclockwise with a wrench (A).

Remove the spark plug

Hand thread the new spark plug, tuming it clockwise. Tighten securely with wrench (B).

NOTE: Be careful notto cross-thread the spark plug Cross-threading will seriously damage the cylnder.

INSPECTING/CLEANING THE SPARK ARRESTOR SCREEN AND MUFFLER EXHAUST PORT (Fig. 70) The muffris equipped with a sparkarrestorscreen. À faulty spark arrestor screen can create a fre hazard. Through normal use the screen can become dirty and should be inspected weekly and cleaned as required. Always keepthe muffler and spark arrestor on the saw in good condition The chainsaw shouldalways be used with correctiy mounted spiked bumper.

WARNING Muffler surfaces are very hot during and after operation ofthe chain saw. To avoid serious personal injury, keep all body parts away from the muffler.
