The delivery of oil to the bar and chain is preset at the factory, and for normal use is
unlikely to need altering. If adjustment is required, the regulator is located in the bar
mounting pad (FIG. 22).
Turn the screw in ’; turn steps, clockwise to decrease or counterclockwise to increase
the oil flow.
Ensure adequate supply of oil to the bar and chain by cleaning accumulated sawdust
from oilways in bar and bar mounting pad after use, (FIG. 21)

PERSONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
FATIGUE, DRUGS AND ALC0F10L. Do not operate chain saw when fatigued or under
the influence of drugs or alcohol.
USE A SAFETY HARD HAT when working with branches overhead.
USE HEARING PROTECTION
DISCONNECT CHAIN SAW WHEN IDLE, and before adjusting or servicing the bar and
chain.
REMOVE TOOLS, Check that all hand tools have been removed before using saw.
AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make a habit of keeping your finger off the
trigger until you are ready to start a cut.
CARRY THE CHAIN SAW BY THE FRONT HANDLE, with finger off the trigger and the
bar and chain pointed to the rear.
KEEP CLEAR. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain whenever the saw is
connected to power.
BEFORE STARTING THE SAW ensure the saw chain is not touching anything.
SAW IN GOOD Condition. Never use a chain saw that is damaged, improperly
adjusted or not completely assembled. Be certain that saw chain stops moving when
trigger is released.
STORE IDLE SAW. Chain Saw should be stored in a carrying case or with a scabbard
over the saw chain, locked up in a high place out of reach of children.
SAWING PRECAUTIONS
USE BOTH HANDS. When the motor is running always hold the chain saw with both
hands, keeping the left arm as straight as possible. Grip firmly, with thumbs and fingers
encircling the handles. (FIG. 4) Never hold log with one hand while sawing, if necessary
clamp the log to free both hands to hold the chain saw.
CLEAN HANDLES. Keep handles dry and oil free.
NOT ALOFT. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless specifically trained to do so.
DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Never run chain saw
while standing on an unstable surface.
MAINTAIN CHAIN SAW. Keep saw chain sharp, oiled and properly tensioned for safest
operation. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. For
information about chain brake see pages 9. 10, & 11.
DON'T FORCETHE CHAIN SAW TO CUT. Itwill do the job better and more safely at the
rate for which it was designed.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Never cut plastics, sheet metal or any non-wood substance. Don’t
force a small chain saw to do the job of a heavy duty saw.
CUT AT FULL SPEED ONLY. Always have chain moving at full speed before touching
the wood and starting to cut. A slow moving chain will catch in the wood and may pull
you off balance.
SPRINGY SAPLINGS, Use extreme caution when cutting small saplings, branches or
brush, because the whippy material tends to catch the saw chain and pull or throw the
saw.
WATCH FOR SPRING BACK when sawing a limb under tension, so that you will not be
struck when the tension in the limb is released,
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback is the fast upward motion of the guide bar
which occurs when thesawchain at the noseof the guide bar contactsan object (FIG. 3).
Kickback can cause dangerous loss of control of the chain saw.
