TOOLS FOR ASSEMBLY
You will need these tools to assemble your chain saw:
1.
Combination wrench-screwdriver (contained in your user’s
kit).
2.
Heavy duty work gloves (user supplied).
•
ASSEMBLY REQUIREMENTS
Your new chain saw will require adjustment of chain, filling the
fuel tank with correct fuel mixture and filling the oil tank with
lubricating oil before the unit is ready for operation.
Read the entire user manual before attempting to operate your
unit. Pay particular attention to all safety precautions.
Your user manual is both a reference guide and handbook pro-
vided to furnish you with general information to assemble,
operate and maintain your saw.

GUIDE BAR / SAW CHAIN / CLUTCH COVER
INSTALLATION
TO INSTALL GUIDE BAR:
To ensure the bar and chain receive oil, ONLY USE THE ORIG-
INAL STYLE BAR with the oil passage hole (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 retaining nut (B). Remove the CHAIN
BRAKE cover (C) by pulling straight out, some force may
be required. (Fig. 3C).
NOTE: Discard the two plastic washers. They are only used for
shipping the chain saw.
3.
Using a screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw (D) COUN-
TERCLOCKWISE until the TANG (E) (projecting prong) is to
the end of its travel (Fig. 3D).
4.
Place the slotted end of the guide bar over the bar bolt (F).
Slide guide bar behind clutch drum (G) until the guide bar
stops (Fig. 3E).
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT start saw engine until
unit is properly prepared.
WARNING: Always wear protective gloves
when handling chain.

Lubrication of the sprocket tip is recommended after 10
hours of use or once a week, which ever occurs first.
Always thoroughly clean guide bar sprocket tip before
lubrication.
TOOLS FOR LUBRICATION:
The Lube Gun (optional) is recommended for applying
grease to the guide bar sprocket tip. The Lube Gun is
equipped with a needle nose tip which is necessary for
the efficient application of grease to the sprocket tip.
TO LUBRICATE SPROCKET TIP:
1.
Press the STOP switch down.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the saw chain to
lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip. Lubrication can be
done on the job.
2.
Clean the guide bar sprocket tip.
3.
Using the Lube Gun (optional), insert needle nose
into the lubrication hole and inject grease until it
appears at outside edge of sprocket tip (Fig. 20).
4.
Rotate saw chain by hand. Repeat lubrication proce-
dure until the entire sprocket tip has been greased.
GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE:
Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely by
keeping the chain saw well maintained.
Insufficient guide bar lubrication and operating the saw
with chain that is TOO TIGHT will contribute to rapid bar
wear.
To help minimize bar wear, the following guide bar main-
tenance procedures are recommended.
CHAIN SHARPENING:
Chain sharpening requires special tools to ensure that
cutters are sharpened at the correct angle and depth. For
the inexperienced chain saw user, we recommend that
the saw chain be professionally sharpened by the nearest
professional Service Center. If you feel comfortable
sharpening your own saw chain, special tools are avail-
able from the professional Service Center.
CHAIN SHARPENING - The pitch of the chain (Fig. 21) is
3/8” LoPro x .050”.
Sharpen the chain using protective gloves and a round
file of ø5/32” (4mm).
Always sharpen the cutters only with outward strokes
(Fig. 22) observing the values given in Fig. 21.
After sharpening, the cutting links must all have the same
width and length.
After every 3-4 times the cutters have been sharpened
you need to check the height of the depth gauges and, if
necessary, lower them using the flat file and template
supplied optional, then round off the front corner. (Fig. 23)
GUIDE BAR - The bar should be reversed every 8 work-
ing hours to ensure uniform wear.
Keep the bar groove and lubrication hole clean using a
bar groove cleaner (optional). (Fig. 24)
Check the bar rails frequently for wear and, if necessary,
remove the burs and square-up the rails using a flat file.
(Fig. 25)
WARNING: Wear heavy duty work gloves
when handling the bar and chain.

WARNING: Always wear protective gloves
during maintenance operations. Do not carry
out maintenance when the engine is hot.

WARNING: Proper adjustment of the depth
gauge is as important as proper sharpening
of the chain.
WARNING: Never mount a new chain on a
worn sprocket or self-aligning ring.

WARNING: A sharp chain produces well-
defined chips. When your chain starts to produce
sawdust, it is time to sharpen.
WARNING: Proper adjustment of the depth
gauge is as important as proper sharpening of
the chain.
