9EN5. Operating the Engine The chain oil flow can be changed by inserting a screwdriver in the hole on bottom of the clutch side. Adjust according to your work conditions. The oil tank should become nearly empty by the time fuel is used up. Be sure to refill the oil tank every time when refueling the saw. •ADJUSTING THE CARBURETOR The carburetor has been adjusted at the factory. Should your unit need readjustment due to the changes in altitude or operating conditions, please let your skillful dealer make the adjust- ment. A wrong adjustment may cause damage to your unit. If you have to make the adjustment yourself, please follow the procedure below carefully. Before adjusting the carburetor, make sure that the provided air/fuel filters are clean and fresh and the fuel properly mixed. NOTE When adjusting, take the following steps: Be sure to adjust the carbu- retor with the bar chain attached. 1. “H” and “L” needles are restricted within the number of turn as shown below. “H” needle: -1/4 “L” needle: -1/4 2. Start the engine and allow it to warm up in low speed for a few minutes. 3. Turn the idle adjusting screw (T) counter- clockwise so that the saw chain does not turn. If the idling speed is too slow, turn the screw clockwise. 4. Make a test cut and adjust the “H” needle for best cutting power, not for maximum speed. Over revolution of “H” needle causes a lack of power or a poor acceleration. In such a case please turn the “H” needle a little counterclockwise. •CHAIN BRAKE This machine is equipped with an automatic brake tostop saw chain rotation upon occur- rence of kickback during saw cutting. The brake is automatically operated by inertial force, which acts on the weight fitted inside the front guard. This brake can also be operated manually with the front guard turned down to the guide bar. To release the brake, pull up the front guard toward the front handle till a “click” sound is heard. Caution Be sure to confirm brake operation during daily inspection. How to confirm: 1. Turn off the engine.

10MM10EN5. Operating the Engine 2. Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your hand from the front handle, hit the tip of the guide bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and confirm brake operation. Operating level varies by bar size. In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer for inspection and repairs. If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with the brake engaged, the clutch will overheat causing trouble. When the brake engages during operation, immediately release the throttle lever to stop the engine. •CARBURETOR ANTI-FREEZE MECHANISM Operating chain saws in temperatures of 0 – 5°C at times of high humidity may result in ice form- ing within the carburetor, and this in turn may cause the output power of the engine to be reduced or for the engine to fail to operate smoothly. This product has accordingly been designed with a ventilation hatch on the right side of the surface of the cylinder cover to allow warm air to be supplied to the engine and to thereby prevent icing from occurring. Under normal circumstances the product should be used in the normal operating mode, i.e., in themode which it is set at the time of shipment. However when the possibility exists that icing may occur, the unit should be set to operate in the anti-freeze mode before use Continuing to use the prod- uct in the anti-freeze mode even when tempera- tures have risen and returned to normal, may result in the engine failing to start properly or in the engine failing to operate at its normal speed, and for this reason you should always be sure to return the unit to the normal operating mode if there is no danger of icing occurring. HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN OPERATING MODES 1. Flip the engine switch to turn off the engine. 2. Remove the cover to the air filter, remove the air filter, and then remove the choke knob from the cylinder cover. 3. Loosen the screws holding the cylinder cover in place (i.e., the three screws on the inside and the one screw on the outside of the cover), and then remove the cylinder cover. 4. Press with your finger down on the icing cap located on the right-hand side of the cylinder cover to remove the icing cap. 5. Adjust the icing cap so that the “snow” mark faces upwards and then return it to its original position in the cylinder cover. 6. Fix the cylinder cover back into its original position, and then fix all other parts back into their proper positions. •STOPPING THE ENGINE 1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine to idle for a few minutes 2. Set the switch to the “O” (STOP) position.

11EN6. Sawing •Before proceeding to your job, read the sec- tion “For Safe Oper- ation”. It is recommend- ed to first practice saw- ing easy logs. This also helps you get accus- tomed to your unit. •Always follow the safety regulations. The chain saw must only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut other types of material. Vibrations and kickback vary with different mate- rials and the require- ments of the safety reg- ulations would not be respected. Do not use the chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects. Do not lock it over fixed stands. It is forbidden to hitch tools or applications to the PTO other than those specified by the manufacturer. •It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure while running the engine at full throttle. •When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it out by force, but use a wedge or a lever to open the way. •GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK !WARNING!•This saw is equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain in the event of kickback if oper- ating properly. You must check the chain brake operation before each usage by running the saw at full the throttle for 1-2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward. The chain should stop immediately with the engine at full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or does not stop, replace the brake band and clutch drum before use. •It is extremely important that the chain brake be checked for proper oper- ation before each use and that the chain be sharp in order to maintain the kick- back safety level of this saw. Removal of the safe- ty devices, inadequate maintenance, or incorrect replacement of the bar or chain may increase the risk to serious personal injury due to kickback. •FELLING A TREE 1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind, lean of the tree, location of heavy branches, ease of completing the task after felling and other factors. 2.While clearing the area around the tree, arrange a good foothold and retreat path. (1) Notch cut (2) Felling cut (3) Felling direction 6. Sawing
12MM12EN6. Sawing 3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree on the felling side. 4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch and at a level slightly higher than the bottom of the notch. When you fell a tree, be sure to warn neighboring workers of the dan- ger. Bucking and Limbing •Always ensure your foothold. Do not stand on the log. •Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log. Especially when working on a slope, stand on the uphill side of the log. •Follow the instructions in “For Safe Operation” to avoid kickback of the saw. Before starting work, check the direction of bending force inside the log to be cut. Always finish cutting from the opposite side of the bend- ing direction to prevent the guide bar from being caught in the cut. A log lying on the ground Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut from the opposite side. A log hanging off the ground In area “A”, saw up from the bottom one-third and finish by sawing down from the top. In area “B”, saw down from the top one-third and finish by sawing up from the bottom. !WARNING! !WARNING!Cutting the limbs of Fallen Tree First check to which side the limb is bent. Then make the initial cut from the bent side and finish by sawing from the opposite side. Be alert to the springing back of a cut limb. Pruning of Standing Tree Cut up from the bottom, finish down from the top. •Do not work standing on unstable bases or rung ladders. •Do not overreach. •Do not cut above shoulder height. •Always use both your hands to hold the saw. !WARNING! !WARNING!
13EN7. Maintenance Before cleaning, the inspecting or repairing the unit, make sure that engine has stopped and is cool. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent acci- dental starting. •MAINTENANCE AFTER EACH USE 1. Air filter Loosen the knob and remove the air cleaner cover. Take off the filter element and brush off attached sawdust. When the filter is clogged with dust, separate it in halves and shake-wash with gaso- line. When using compressed air, blow from the inside. To assemble the cleaner halves, press the rim until it clicks. When installing the main filter, make sure that the grooves on the filter edge are correctly fit with the projections on the cylinder cover. 2. Oiling port Dismount the guide bar and check the oiling port for clogging. NOTE !WARNING!3. Guide bar When the guide bar is dismounted, remove saw- dust in the bar groove and the oiling port. Grease the nose sprocket from the feeding port on the tip of the bar. 4. Others Check for fuel leakage and loose fastenings and damage to major parts, especially handle joints and guide bar mounting. If any defects are found, make sure to have them repaired before operating the saw again. •PERIODICAL SERVICE POINTS 1. Cylinder fins Dust clogging between the cylinder fins will cause overheating of the engine. Periodically check and clean the cylinder fins after removing the air cleaner and the cylinder cover. When installing the cylinder cover, make sure that switch wires and grommets are positioned correctly in place. Be sure to block the air intake hole. NOTE 7.

Disassemble the filter and wash with gaso- line, or replace with a new one if needed. •After removing the filter, use a pinch to hold the end of the suction pipe. •When assembling the filter, take care not to allow filter fibers or dust inside the suction pipe. 3. Spark plug Clean the electrodes with a wire brush and reset the gap to 0.65 mm as necessary. 4. Sprocket Check for cracks and for excessive wear inter- fering with the chain drive. If the wear is consid- erable, replace it with new one. Never fit a new chain on a worn sprocket, or a worn chain on a new sprocket. NOTE 5. Front and Rear dampers Replace if adhered part is peeled or crack is observed on the rubber part. Replace if the inside of the rear damper metal has been beaten by the stopper bolt and the clearance of the metal increased. (1) Fuel filter
15EN8. Maintenance of Saw Chain and Guide Bar 1. Saw Chain It is very important for smooth and safe operation to always keep the cutters sharp. The cutters need to be sharpened when: •Sawdust becomes powder-like. •You need extra force to saw in. •The cut path does not go straight. •Vibration increases. •Fuel consumption increases. Cutter setting standards Be sure to wear safety gloves. Before filing: •Make sure the saw chain is held securely. •Make sure the engine is stopped. •Use a round file of proper size for the chain (see “Chain maintenance table”). Place the file on the cutter and push straight for- ward. Keep the file position as illustrated. After each cutter has been filed, check the depth gauge and file it to the proper level as illustrated. Be sure to round off the front edge to reduce the chance of kickback or tie-strap breakage. !WARNING! !WARNING! !WARNING! Make sure every cutter has the same length and edge angles as illustrated. 2. Guide Bar •Reverse the bar occasionally to prevent partial wear. •The bar rail should always be square. Check for wear of the bar rail. Apply a ruler to the bar and the outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed between them, the rail is normal. Otherwise, the bar rail is worn. Such a bar needs to be corrected or replaced.
