2. Put the 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: Select bare ground for fueling.
Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the
fueling point before starting the engine. 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 en-
gine 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 block-
ing, 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 ren-
dering 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 reposi-
tory site.

OPERATING THE ENGINE
WARNING: It is very dangerous to run a
chain saw that mounts broken parts or lacks
any parts. Before starting engine, make sure
that all the parts including bar and chain are
installed properly.
STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Fill fuel and chain oil tanks respectively, and
tighten the caps securely.
2. Set the switch to "l" position.
3. Pull out the choke knob to the second stage
position. The choke will close and the throttle
lever will then be set in the starting position.
NOTE: When restarting immediately after stop-
ping the engine, set the Choke knob in the
first-stage position (choke open and throttle
lever in the starting position).
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.
4. While holding the saw unit securely on the
ground, pull the starter rope vigorously.
Regarding MS516A, before you start engine,
please press oil pump several times to confirm
the chain oil is full, then start again.
WARNING: Do not start the engine while
the chain saw hangs in one hand. The saw
chain may touch your body. This is very dan-
gerous.
5. 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.
6. Allow the engine to warm up with the throt-
tle lever pulled slightly.
CHECKING THE OIL SUPPLY. Make sure to set
up the bar and the chain when checking the
oil supply. If not, the rotating parts may be ex-
posed. It is very dangerous.
