CHAIN Lubricant SYSTEM (Fig. 7)
Use HOMELITE Bar and Chain Lubricant. It is designed for
chains and chain Lubricatings, and is formulated to perform
over a wide temperature range with no dilution required.
Chainsaw should use approximately one tank of Lubricant
per tank of fuel.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise contaminated
Lubricants. Damage may occur to the Lubricant pump,
bar, or chain.
1. Carefully pour the bar and chain Lubricant into the
tank.
2. Fill the Lubricant tank every time you fuel the engine.
STARTING THE ENGINE (Fig. 8)
WARNING
Keep your body to the left of the chain line. Never
straddle the saw or chain, or lean over past the
chain line.
1. Place the chainsaw on level ground and ensure that
no objects or obstructions which could come in contact
with the bar and chain are in the immediate vicinity.
2. Hold the front handle firmly with the left hand and put
your right foot onto the base of the rear handle.

3. Move the chain brake to the BRAKE position (B).
NOTE: Set the chain brake by pushing the chain
brake lever/hand guard forward (towards the bar), to
the brake position. Refer to "Operation – Operating
the Chain Brake" later in this manual for additional
information.
4. Set the ignition switch to the RUN (I) position (17).
5. Fully press and release the PRIMER BULB (4) 7 times.

Slowly pull the starter grip out for a short distance
until you feel the starter engage, then briskly pull
straight up. Do not pull to the end of the rope; this
may damage the starter. Hold onto the grip during
rewinding. Pull the starter rope until the first firing of
the engine is heard (no more than five pulls).
NOTE: A new unit may require additional pulls.
8. Push choke lever (5) all the way IN (G).
9. Pull starter until engine runs.

NOTE: Allow the saw to run in this position
15-30 seconds depending upon the temperature.
10. SQUEEZE and release the throttle trigger (15). Depress
the throttle trigger which releases the trigger lock
button. Squeeze and release the throttle trigger to let
the engine idle.
Now you are ready to pick up the saw. Use the proper
grip for both handles. Refer to "Operation-Proper Grip on
Handles" later in this manual for additional information.
STARTING A WARM ENGINE
Follow the instructions for starting a cold engine (steps
1-9), but do not attempt to start in the full choke position
(skip step 6). Push and release primer bulb 7 times. Pull the
choke out and push back it in to the original run position.
STOPPING THE ENGINE (Fig. 15)
Release the throttle trigger and let the engine return
to idle.To stop the engine, move the ignition switch to the
"O" stop position (17). Do not put the chainsaw on the
ground when the chain is still moving. For additional
safety, set the chain brake when the saw is not in use.
In the event that the ignition switch will not stop the saw,
pull the choke lever out to the fully extended position
(Full Choke) and engage chain brake to stop the engine.
If the ignition switch will not stop the saw when set to the
"O" stop position, have the ignition switch repaired before
using the chainsaw again to prevent unsafe conditions or
serious injury.
IMPORTANT: When you have finished using the saw,
relieve tank pressures by loosening the CHAIN Lubricant
and FUEL MIX caps. Then retighten the caps. Allow the
engine to cool before storing.
