General Safety Rules



GBcottagers, and campers, and for such generalapplications as clearing, pruning, cutting firewood,etc. They are not intended for prolonged use. If theintended use involves prolonged periods ofoperation, this may cause circulatory problems in theuser’s hands due to vibration. It may be appropriateto use a saw having an anti-vibration feature such asthe models covered in this manual with the suffixAnti-Vibration.

KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONSKickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guidebar touches an object, or when the wood closes inand pinches the saw chain in the cut. If the bar tipcontacts, it may cause a lightning-fast reversereaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towardsthe operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top ofthe guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly backtowards the operator. Either of these reactions maycause you to lose control of the saw, which couldresult in serious personal injury. Do not relyexclusively upon the safety devices built into yoursaw. As a chain saw user, you should take severalsteps to keep your cutting jobs free from accident orinjury.1. With a basic understanding of kickback, you can

reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.

2. Keep a good firm grip on the saw with bothhands, the right hand on the rear handle, and theleft hand on the front handle, when the engine isrunning. Use a firm grip with thumbs and fingersencircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip willhelp you reduce kickback and maintain control ofthe saw. Don’t let go.

3. Make sure that the area in which you are cuttingis free from obstructions. Do not let the nose ofthe guide bar contact a log, branch, or any otherobstruction which could be hit while you areoperating the saw.

4. Cut at high engine speeds.5. Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.6. Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and

maintenance instructions for the chain saw.7. Only use replacement bars and chains specified

by the manufacturer or the equivalent.NOTE: Low-kickback saw chain is chain that has metthe kickback performance.

IMPORTANT SAFETYA safety sign is fitted to the chain saw’s fan filtercover. This label, along with the safety instructions onthese pages, should be carefully read beforeattempting to operate this unit.

HOW TO READ SYMBOLS AND COLORS (FIG. 1)

�WARNING: RED Used to warn that an unsafeprocedure should not be performed.

GREEN RECOMMENDED

Recommended cutting procedure.WARNING1. Beware of kick back.2. Do not attempt to hold saw with one hand.3. Avoid bar nose contact.RECOMMENDED4. Hold Saw properly with both hands.

� DANGER! BEWARE OF KICKBACK!

�WARNING: Kickback can lead to dangerous loss ofcontrol of the chain saw and result in serious or fatalinjury to the saw operator or to anyone standing closeby. Always be alert. Rotational kickback and pinch-kickback are major chain saw operational dangers andthe leading cause of most accidents.

KICKBACK may occur when the NOSE or TIP of theguide bar touches an object, or when wood closes inand pinches the saw chain in the cut.Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning-fastreverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and backtoward the operator.PINCHING the saw chain along the BOTTOM of theguide bar may PULL the saw forward away from theoperator. PINCHING the saw chain along the TOP ofthe guide bar may PUSH the guide bar rapidly backtoward the operator.Any of these reactions may cause you to lose controlof the saw, which could result in serious personalinjury.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS� TOOLS FOR ASSEMBLYYou will need these tools to assemble your chainsaw:1. Ring wrench SW 112. Screwdriver / spark plug wrench

Assembly Requirements

�WARNING: DO NOT start saw engine until unit isproperly prepared.

Your new chain saw will require adjustment of chain,filling the fuel tank with correct fuel mixture and fillingthe oil tank with lubricating oil before the unit is readyfor operation.Read the entire user manual before attempting tooperate your unit. Pay particular attention to all safetyprecautions.This manual contains not only safety information butalso general information on how to assemble,operate and service the saw.

� GUIDE BAR / SAW CHAIN / CLUTCH COVERINSTALLATION

�WARNING: Always wear protective gloves whenhandling chain.

TO INSTALL GUIDE BAR:To ensure the bar and chain receive oil, ONLY USETHE ORIGINAL STYLE BAR with the oil passagehole (A) as illustrated above (Fig. 3A).1. Make sure the Chain brake lever is pulled back

into the DISENGAGED position (Fig. 3B)2. Remove the bar fastening nut (B). Remove the 2

screws of the chain brake cover (C). Remove thechain brake cover by pulling it straight out with astrong tug (Fig. 3C).Note: The chain may sag a little. This is normal.

3. Using a screwdriver, run the adjustment screw(D) COUNTERCLOCKWISE until the TANG (E)(projecting prong) is to the end of its traveltoward the clutch drum and sprocket (Fig. 3D).

4. Place the slotted end of the guide bar over thebar bolts (F). Position the bar so that theadjustment TANG fits into the lower hole (G) onthe guide bar (Fig. 3E).



GB

TO INSTALL SAW CHAIN:1. Spread chain out in a loop with cutting edges (A)

pointing CLOCKWISE around loop (Fig. 4A).2. Slip the chain around the sprocket (B) behind the

clutch (C). Make sure the links fit between thesprocket teeth (Fig. 4B).

3. Guide the drive links into the groove and aroundthe end of the bar (Fig. 4B).NOTE: The saw chain may droop slightly on thelower part of bar. This is normal.

4. Pull the chain bar forward until the chain isclosely seated. Make sure that all the drive linksare in the groove of the bar.

5. Install the clutch cover and tighten the 2 screws.Make sure the chain does not slip off of the bar.Install the 2 nuts hand tight and follow tensionadjustment instructions in Section SAW CHAINTENSION ADJUSTMENT.

NOTE: The guide bar retaining nuts are installed onlyhand tight at this point because saw chainadjustment is required. Follow instructions in SectionSAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT.

� SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENTProper tension of saw chain is extremely importantand must be checked before starting, as well asduring any cutting operation.Taking the time to make needed adjustments to thesaw chain will result in improved cutting performanceand prolonged chain life.

�WARNING: Always wear heavy duty gloves whenhandling saw chain or making saw chainadjustments.

TO ADJUST SAW CHAIN:1. Hold nose of guide bar up and turn adjustment

screw (D) CLOCKWISE to increase chaintension. Turning screw COUNTERCLOCKWISEwill decrease amount of tension on chain. Ensurethe chain fits snugly all the way around the guidebar (Fig. 5).

2. After making adjustment, and while still holdingnose of bar in the uppermost position, tighten thebar retaining nuts securely. Chain has propertension when it has a snug fit all around and canbe pulled around by gloved hand.

NOTE: If chain is difficult to rotate on guide bar or if itbinds, too much tension has been applied. Thisrequires minor adjustment as follows:A. Loosen the bar retaining nut so they are finger

tight. Decrease tension by turning the baradjustment screw COUNTERCLOCKWISEslowly. Move chain back and forth on bar.Continue to adjust until chain rotates freely, butfits snugly. Increase tension by turning baradjustment screw CLOCKWISE.

B. When saw chain has proper tension, hold nose ofbar in the uppermost position and tighten the barretaining nut securely.

�CAUTION: A new saw chain stretches, requiringadjustment after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal with anew chain, and the interval between future adjustments willlengthen quickly.

�CAUTION: If saw chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO TIGHT,the sprocket, bar, chain, and crankshaft bearings will wearmore rapidly. Note: In any case do not tighten the chain immediatelyafter use, but wait until it cools down, it should be possibleto lift the chain in the middle of bar approx. 3 mm whenchain cooled (Fig. 6).

CHAIN BRAKE MECHANICAL TESTYour chain saw is equipped with a Chain brake thatreduces possibility of injury due to kickback. Thebrake is activated if pressure is applied against brakelever when, as in the event of kickback, operator’shand strikes the lever. When the brake is actuated,chain movement stops abruptly.

�WARNING: The purpose of the chain brake is to reducethe possibility of injury due to kickback; however, it cannotprovide the intended measure of protection if the saw isoperated carelessly. Always test the chain brake beforeusing your saw and periodically while on the job.

TO TEST CHAIN BRAKE:1. The Chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain can

move) when BRAKE LEVER IS PULLED BACKAND LOCKED (Fig. 7A).

2. The Chain brake is ENGAGED (chain is stopped)when brake lever is in forward position. Youshould not be able to move chain (Fig. 7B).

NOTE: The brake lever should snap into bothpositions. If strong resistance is felt, or lever does notmove into either position, do not use your saw. Takeit immediately to a professional Service Center forrepair.

FUEL AND LUBRICATIONFUELUse regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed with40:1 custom 2-stroke cycle oil for best results. � Start the machine at least 3 m away from the

refueling site to avoid the possible risk of fire.� Do not smoke whilst refueling or working with the

machine.� Do not use the hedge trimmer near inflammable

liquids or gases. This could result in an explosionand/or fire.

�WARNING: Never use straight gasoline in your unit.This will cause permanent engine damage and void themanufacturer’s warranty for that product.

�WARNING:Never use a fuel mixture that has beenstored for over 90 days.

�WARNING: If 2-cycle lubricant is to be used, it must bea premium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled engines mixedat a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil product with arecommended mixing ratio of 100:1. If insufficientlubrication is the cause of engine damage, it voids the

manufacturer’s engine warranty for that occurrence.

MIXING FUELMix the fuel with the enclosed mixing bottle.Pour the correct quantities of petrol and 2-stroke oilinto the mixing bottle (see scale printed on thebottle). Then shake the bottle well.

�WARNING: Lack of lubrication voids enginewarranty.

FUEL AND LUBRICATION

RECOMMENDED FUELSSome conventional gasolines are being blended withoxygenates such as alcohol or an ether compound tomeet clean air standards. Your engine is designed tooperate satisfactorily on any gasoline intended forautomotive use including oxygenated gasolines. It isrecommended to use unleaded petrol as fuel.

CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATIONAlways refill the chain oil tank each time the fuel tankis refilled. We recommend using Chain, Bar andSprocket Oil, which contains additives to reducefriction and wear and to assist in the prevention ofpitch formation on the bar and chain.

SAW CHAIN / BAR LUBRICATIONAdequate lubrication of the saw chain is essential atall times to minimize friction with the guide bar.Never starve the bar and chain of oil. Running thesaw with too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency,shorten saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain,and cause excessive wear of bar from overheating.Too little oil is evidenced by smoke, bar discolorationor pitch build-up.NOTE: Saw chain stretches during use, particularlywhen it is new, and it will occasionally be necessaryto adjust and tighten it. New chain will requireadjustment after about 5 minutes of operation.

AUTOMATIC OILERYour chain saw is equipped with an automatic geardriven oiler system. The oiler automatically deliversthe proper amount of oil to the bar and chain. As theengine speed increases, so does the oil flow to thebar pad. There is no flow adjustment. The oilreservoir will run out at approximately the same timeas the fuel supply runs out.

GENERAL CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS

�WARNING: Please take care that risky cuts (e.g.plunge & horizontal) should only be carried out byprofessionals.

FELLINGFelling is the term for cutting down a tree. Smalltrees up to 6-7 inches (15-18cm) in diameter areusually cut in a single cut. Larger trees require notchcuts. Notch cuts determine the direction the tree willfall.

FELLING A TREE

�WARNING: A retreat path (A) should be planned andcleared as necessary before cuts are started. Theretreat path should extend back and diagonally to the rearof the expected line of fall, as illustrated in Fig. 12.

�CAUTION: If felling a tree on sloping ground, the chainsaw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain,as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.

IMPORTANT: Felling trees is prohibited without thenecessary training!

NOTE: Direction of fall (B) is controlled by thenotching cut. Before any cuts are made, consider thelocation of larger branches and natural lean of thetree to determine the way the tree will fall.

�WARNING: Do not cut down a tree during high orchanging winds or if there is a danger to property. Consulta tree professional. Do not cut down a tree if there is adanger of striking utility wires; notify the utility companybefore making any cuts.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR FELLING TREES(Fig. 13):Normally felling consists of 2 main cutting operations,notching (C) and making the felling cut (D).Start making the upper notch cut (C) on the side ofthe tree facing the felling direction (E). Be sure youdon t make the lower cut too deep into the trunk.The notch (C) should be deep enough to create ahinge (F) of sufficient width and strength. The notchshould be wide enough to direct the fall of the tree foras long as possible.

�WARNING: Never walk in front of a tree that hasbeen notched. Make the felling cut (D) from the otherside of the tree and 1.5 - 2.0 inches (3-5 cm) abovethe edge of the notch (C) (Fig. 13)

Never saw completely through the trunk. Alwaysleave a hinge. The hinge guides the tree. If the trunkis completely cut through, control over the fellingdirection is lost.Insert a wedge or felling lever in the cut well beforethe tree becomes unstable and starts to move. Thiswill prevent the guidebar from binding in the fellingcut if you have misjudged the falling direction. Makesure no bystanders have entered the range of thefalling tree before you push it over.

GB

Fig. 12

A

B

Fig. 13



GB�WARNING: Before making the final cut, alwaysrecheck the area for bystanders, animals orobstacles.

FELLING CUT:1. Use wooden or plastic wedges (A) to prevent

binding the bar or chain (B) in the cut. Wedgesalso control felling (Fig. 14A).

2. When diameter of wood being cut is greater thanthe bar length, make 2 cuts as shown (Fig. 14B).

�WARNING: As the felling cut gets close to thehinge, the tree should begin to fall. When tree beginsto fall, remove saw from cut, stop engine, put chainsaw down, and leave area along retreat path (Fig.12).

LIMBINGLimbing a tree is the process of removing thebranches from a fallen tree. Do not removesupporting limbs (A) until after the log is bucked (cut)into lengths (Fig. 15). Branches under tension shouldbe cut from the bottom up to avoid binding the chainsaw.

�WARNING: Never cut tree limbs while standing ontree trunk.

BUCKINGBucking is cutting a fallen log into lengths. Make sureyou have a good footing and stand uphill of the logwhen cutting on sloping ground. If possible, the logshould be supported so that the end to be cut off isnot resting on the ground. If the log is supported atboth ends and you must cut in the middle, make adownward cut halfway through the log and thenmake the undercut. This will prevent the log frompinching the bar and chain. Be careful that the chaindoes not cut into the ground when bucking as this

causes rapid dulling of the chain.When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphillside.1. Log supported along entire length: Cut from top

(overbuck), being careful to avoid cutting into theground (Fig. 16A).

2. Log supported on 1 end: First, cut from bottom(underbuck) 1/3 diameter of log to avoidsplintering. Second, cut from above (overbuck) tomeet first cut and avoid pinching (Fig. 16B).

3. Log supported on both ends: First, overbuck 1/3diameter of log to avoid splintering. Second,underbuck to meet first cut and avoid pinching(Fig. 16C).

NOTE: The best way to hold a log while bucking is touse a sawhorse. When this is not possible, the logshould be raised and supported by the limb stumpsor by using supporting logs. Be sure the log being cutis securely supported.

BUCKING USING A SAWHORSEFor personal safety and ease of cutting, the correctposition for vertical bucking is essential (Fig. 17).

VERTICAL CUTTING:A. Hold the saw firmly with both hands and keep the

saw to the right of your body while cutting.B. Keep the left arm as straight as possible.C. Keep weight on both feet.

�CAUTION: When working with the saw, alwaysmake sure that the saw chain and chain bar aresufficiently lubricated.

SPARK PLUGNOTE: For efficient operation of saw engine, sparkplug must be kept clean and properly gapped.1. Push STOP switch down.2. Remove the cover by undoing the cover

fastening screws (Fig. 21).3. Disconnect the ignition cable (A) from the spark

plug by pulling and twisting it simultaneously(Fig. 21).

4. Reinstall a new spark plug, gapped at 0.6mm.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTThe carburetor was pre-set at the factory foroptimum performance. If further adjustments arenecessary, please take your unit to the nearestprofessional.

STORING A CHAIN SAW

�CAUTION: Never put a chain saw into storage forlonger than 30 days without carrying out the followingsteps.

Storing a chain saw for longer than 30 days requiresstorage maintenance. Unless the storage instructionsare followed, fuel remaining in the carburetor willevaporate, leaving gum-like deposits. This could leadto difficult starting and result in costly repairs.1. Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release any

pressure in tank. Carefully drain the fuel tank.2. Start the engine and let it run until the unit stops

to remove fuel from carburetor.

3. Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).4. Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark

plug.5. Pour 1 teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the

combustion chamber. Pull starter rope slowlyseveral times to coat internal components.Replace spark plug (Fig. 22).

NOTE: Store the unit in a dry place and away frompossible sources of ignition such as a furnace, gashot water heater, gas dryer, etc.

PUTTING THE SAW BACK INTO OPERATION1. Remove spark plug.2. Pull starter rope briskly to clear excess oil from

combustion chamber.3. Clean the spark plug and check that the

electrode gap is correct.4. Prepare unit for operation.5. Fill fuel tank with proper fuel / oil mixture. See

FUEL AND LUBRICATION Section.

CHAIN BAR MAINTENANCERegular lubrication of the chain bar (guide rail for thechain and teeth) is essential. The chain bar needsthe maintenance described in the following section inorder for the saw to work at an optimum level ofperformance.

�CAUTION: The sprocket tip on your new saw has beenpre-lubricated at the factory. Failure to lubricate the guidebar sprocket tip as explained below will result in poorperformance and seizure, voiding the manufacturer’swarranty.

TOOLS FOR LUBRICATION:A Lube Gun is recommended for applying grease tothe guide bar sprocket tip. A Lube Gun is equippedwith a needle nose tip which is necessary for theefficient application of grease to the sprocket tip.

TO LUBRICATE SPROCKET TIP:Lubrication of the sprocket tip is recommended after10 hours of use or once a week, which ever occursfirst. Always thoroughly clean guide bar sprocket tipbefore lubrication.

NOTE: The saw chain does not have to be removed

in order to lubricate the teeth of the chain bar.Lubrication is possible during work, with the engineswitched off.

�WARNING: Wear heavy duty work gloves whenhandling the bar and chain.

1. Move the STOP switch down.2. Clean the guide bar sprocket tip.3. Using a Lube Gun, insert needle nose into the

lubrication hole and inject grease until it appearsat outside edge of sprocket tip (Fig .23).

4. Rotate saw chain by hand. Repeat lubricationprocedure until the entire sprocket tip has beengreased.

GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE:Most guide bar problems can be prevented merelyby keeping the chain saw well maintained.Insufficient guide bar lubrication and operating thesaw with chain that is TOO TIGHT will contribute torapid bar wear.To help minimize bar wear, the following guide barmaintenance procedures are recommended.

�WARNING: Always wear protective gloves duringmaintenance operations. Do not carry outmaintenance when the engine is hot.

CHAIN SHARPENING:Chain sharpening requires special tools to ensurethat cutters are sharpened at the correct angle anddepth. For the inexperienced chain saw user, werecommend that the saw chain be professionallysharpened by the nearest professional ServiceCenter. If you feel comfortable sharpening your ownsaw chain, special tools are available from theprofessional Service Center.

CHAIN SHARPENING - The pitch of the chain (Fig.24) is 3/8” LoPro x .050”.Sharpen the chain using protective gloves and around file of ø3/16” (4.8mm).Always sharpen the cutters only with outward strokes(Fig. 25) observing the values given in Fig. 24.After sharpening, the cutting links must all have thesame width and length.

�WARNING: A sharp chain produces well-definedchips. When your chain starts to produce sawdust, itis time to sharpen.

After every 3-4 times the cutters have beensharpened you need to check the height of the depthgauges and, if necessary, lower them using the flatfile and template supplied optional, then round off thefront corner. (Fig. 26)

�WARNING: Proper adjustment of the depth gaugeis as important as proper sharpening of the chain.

GUIDE BAR - The bar should be reversed every 8working hours to ensure uniform wear.Keep the bar groove and lubrication hole clean usinga bar groove cleaner. (Fig. 27)Check the bar rails frequently for wear and, ifnecessary, remove the burs and square-up the railsusing the flat file. (Fig. 28)

�WARNING: Never mount a new chain on a wornsprocket or self-aligning ring.

BAR WEAR - Turn guide bar frequently at regularintervals (for example, after 8 hours of use), toensure even wear on top and bottom of bar.OIL PASSAGES - Oil passages on the bar should becleaned to ensure proper lubrication of the bar andchain during operation.NOTE: The condition of the oil passages can beeasily checked. If the passages are clear, the chainwill automatically give off a spray of oil withinseconds of starting the saw. Your saw is equippedwith an automatic oiler system.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE

CHAIN TENSION:Check the chain tension frequently and adjust asoften as necessary to keep the chain snug on thebar, but loose enough to be pulled around by hand.

BREAKING IN A NEW SAW CHAIN:A new chain and bar will need chain readjustmentafter as few as 5 cuts. This is normal during thebreak-in period, and the interval between futureadjustments will begin to lengthen quickly.

�WARNING: Never have more than 3 linksremoved from a loop of chain. This could causedamage to the sprocket.

CHAIN LUBRICATION:Always make sure the automatic oiler system isworking properly. Keep the oil tank filled with Chain,Bar and Sprocket Oil.Adequate lubrication of the bar and chain duringcutting operations is essential to minimize frictionwith the guide bar.Never starve the bar and chain of lubricating oil.Running the saw dry or with too little oil will decreasecutting efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapiddulling of chain, and lead to excessive wear of barfrom overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by smokeor bar discoloration.
