GUIDE
BAR AND CHAIN
OIL
The manually operated chain oiler pro-
vides lubrication to the chain and guide
bar,, Be sure to fill the bar oil tank before
each cutting session., The oiler activator/
bar oil cap must be used regularly and
often enough to maintain a thin film of
oil on the bar and chain while saw is
cutting
It is recommended
that the oiler
actuator/bar
oil cap be operated every
ten (10) seconds and held for approxi-
mately three (3) seconds
each time it is
pressed.
For maximum guide bar and
chain life, we recommend
you use
Craftsman
chain sav;v bar oil, tf Crafts-
man bar oil is not available,
you may
use a good grade SAE 30 oil until you
are able to obtain C_'aftsman brand. The
oil output is manually metered during
operation_
Use a funnel to fill the tank,,
Replace oil cap securely.
Check oil lev-
el after every 15 minutes of operation.

3.
Push in switch lock-out
button_
4.
Squeeze
and hold the trigger
switch.
OPERATING
TIPS
o Check chain tension
before first use
and after 1 minute of operation°
See
CHECK CHAIN TENSION in the MAIN-
TENANCE section
and SERVICE AND
ADJUSTMENTS section.
. Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plas-
tics, masonry, nomwood
building ma-
terials, etc.
o Stop the saw if the chain strikes a for-
eign object, Inspect the saw and re-
pair parts as necessary.
, Keep the chain out of dirt and sand,
Even a small amount of dirt wilt quick-
ly dull a chain and increase the possi-
bility of kickback.
o Practice cutting a few small logs using
the following steps° This will help you
get the "feel" of using your saw before
you begin a major sawing operation,.
•
Squeeze the trigger switch and
allow unit to reach full speed be-
fore cutting.
•
Begin cutting with the saw frame
against the log.,
° Keep the motor at full speed the
entire time you are cutting.
° Release trigger switch as soon as
cut is completed,
allowing
motor
to stop.
° To avoid losing control when cut
is complete,
do not put pressure
on saw at end of cut.
° Stop motor before setting saw down_
TREE FELLING
TECHNIQUES
WARNING:
Check for broken or
dead branches which can fail while cut-
ting causing serious injury. Do not cut
near buildings or electrical wires if you
do not know the direction of tree fall, nor
cut at night since you wilt not be able to
see well, nor during bad weather such
as rain, snow, strong winds, etc, If the
tree makes contact with any utility line,
the utility company should be notified
immediately°
o Carefully plan your sawing operation
in advance.
• Clear the work area. You need a clear
area all around the tree so you can
have secure footing
• The chain saw operator should keep
on the uphill side of the terrain as the
tree is likely to roll or slide downhill af-
ter it is felled,.
• Study the natural conditions that can
cause the tree to fall in a particular
direction, such as:
° The wind direction
and spee&
• The lean of the tree_ The lean of a
tree might not be apparent due to
uneven or sloping terrain. Use a
plumb or level to determine the di-
rection of tree lean,
•
Weight and branches
on one
side,.
o Surrounding
trees and obstacles.
