BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
_ILWARNING:
Be sure to read the
fuel handling information
in the safety
rules section of this manual before you
begin. If you de net understand the
fuel handling information de not at-
tempt to fuel your unit. Seek help from

GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL
The bar and chain require lubrication.
The chain oiler provides continuous
lubrication to the chain and guide bar.
Be sure to fill the bar oil tank when you
fill the fuel tank (Capacity = 6.8 fi. ez.).
Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain.
Too little oil will cause overheat-
ing shown by smoke coming from the
chain and/or discoloration
of the bar.
For maximum guide bar and chain life,
we recommend you use Craftsman
chain saw bar oil. If Craftsman bar oil
is not available, you may use a good
grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to
obtain Craftsman brand. The oil output
is automatically
metered during opera-
tion. Your saw will use approximately
one tank of bar oil for every tank of fuel
mix. Always fill the bar oil tank when
you fill the fuel tank.
FUELING ENGINE
•IIb,WARNING:
Remove fuel cap
slowly when refueling.
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline. Before operation,
gasoline must be mixed with a good
quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled em
gine oil. We recommend Craftsman
brand synthetic oil. Mix gasoline and
oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is ob-
tained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with
1 gallon of unleaded gasoline. In-
cluded with this saw is a 3.2 ounce
container of Craftsman brand synthetic
oil. Pour the entire contents of this
container into 1 gallon of gasoline to
achieve the proper fuel mixture.
DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil.
These oils will cause engine damage,
When mixing fuel, follow instructions
printed on the oil container.
Once oil is added to the gasoline,
shake container momentarily to assure
that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Al-
ways read and follow the safety rules
relating to fuel before fueling your unit.
IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasoho] or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-
ture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-
tem of an engine while in storage. To
avoid engine problems, the fuel sys-
tem should be emptied before storage
for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas
tank, start the engine and let it run until
the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
Use fresh fuel next season. See STOR-
AGE instructions
for additional informa*
tion.
Never use engine or carburetor
clean-
er products in the fuel tank or perma*
nent damage may occur.
See the STORAGE section for addition-
al information.
CHAIN BRAKE
Ensure chain brake is disengaged
by
pulling the front hand guard back to-
ward the front handle as far as pos-
sible. The chain brake must be disem
gaged before cutting with the saw.
d_IkWARNING:
The chain must net
move when the engine runs at idle
speed. If the chain moves at idle
speed, refer to CARBURETOR ADJUST-
MENT within this manual. Avoid con*
tact with the muffler. A hot muffler can
cause serious burns.
STOPPING YOUR ENGINE
• Move ON/STOP switch to the STOP
position.
