Gasoline and Oil Mix 40:1
Recommended fuels
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with
oxygenates 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 gasolines. It is
recommended to use unleaded petrol as fuel.
Lubrication of chain and chain bar
Whenever you refill the fuel tank with petrol you must
also top up the level of chain oil in the chain oil tank. It
is recommended to use standard chain oil.
Engine pre-start checks
Warning: Never start or operate the saw unless
the bar and chain are properly installed.
1. Fill the fuel tank (A) with correct fuel mixture
(Fig. 8).
2. Fill the oil tank (B) with chain oil (Fig. 8).
3. Be certain the chain brake is disengaged (C)
before starting unit (Fig. 8).
Once you have filled the chain and oil tank,
tighten the tank cover securely by hand. Do not
use any tools to do so.

6. Operation

Before you use the equipment, check it for damage. If
you discover any damage, do not use it. The
equipment may be started only when the chain brake
is engaged. The chain brake is engaged when the
brake lever is pressed forward and the mechanism
(Fig. 7B/Item A) is visible.

6.1 Starting the engine

1. Set the On/Off switch (A) to "On (I)" to start the
machine (Fig. 9A).
2. Pull out the throttle lever (B) (Fig. 9B) until it
locks.
3. Push the primer bulb (C) 10 times (Fig. 9C).
4. Place saw on a firm, flat surface. Hold saw firmly
as shown. Pull starter rapidly 2 times. Beware of
moving chain! (Fig.9D)
5. Push in the throttle lever (B) as far as it will go
(Fig. 9B).
6. Hold saw firmly and pull starter rapidly 4 times.
Engine should start (Fig. 9D).
7. Let the engine run for 10 seconds to warm up.
Press the throttle lever (D) briefly, the engine will
go to "idling" speed (Fig. 9E).
If engine failed to start, repeat these instructions.
Oil Only
Important: Always pull the starter cable slowly
until you feel the initial resistance before you then pull
it quickly to start the engine. Do not allow the starter
cable to whip back of its own accord.

6.2 Restarting a warm engine

1. Make sure the switch is in the ON position.
2. Pull the starter rope rapidly 6 times. The engine
should start.

6.3 To stop engine

1. Release trigger and allow engine to return to idle
speed.
2. Move STOP switch down to stop engine.
Note: To stop the engine in an emergency, activate
the chain brake and switch the ON/OFF switch to
"Stop (0)".

6.4 General cutting instructions

IMPORTANT: Felling trees is prohibited without
the necessary training!
Felling
Felling is the term for cutting down a tree. Small trees
up to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter are usually cut
in a single cut. Larger trees require notch cuts. Notch
cuts determine the direction the tree will fall.
Warning: A retreat path (A) should be planned
and cleared as necessary before cuts are started. The
retreat path should extend back and diagonally to the
rear of the expected line of fall, as illustrated in
Fig. 11.
Warning: If felling a tree on sloping ground, the
chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of
the terrain, as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill
after it is felled.
NOTE: Direction of fall (B) is controlled by the
notching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider the
location of larger branches and natural lean of the
tree to determine the way the tree will fall (Fig. 11).
