IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
When pulling the starter rope, do not
use the full extent of the rope as this
can cause the rope to break. Do not let
starter rope snap back. Hold the han-
dle and let the rope rewind slowly.
For cold weather starting, start the unit
at FULL CHOKE; allow the engine to
warm up before squeezing the throttle
trigger.
NOTE: Do not attempt to cut material
with the choke/fast idle lever in the FULL
CHOKE position.

DIFFICULT STARTING (or starting a
flooded engine)
The engine may be flooded with too
much fuel if it has not started after 10
pulls total. Flooded engines can be
cleared of excess fuel by allowing the
unit to sit for 30 minutes. Ensure ON/
STOP switch is in the ON position; then,
start the unit by following the steps
under STARTING A COLD ENGINE or
following the starting instruction steps
shown on the unit. If engine fails to
start, please call 1-800-235-5878.
CHAIN BRAKE
_LWARNING: Ifthe brake band is
worn too thin it may break when the
chain brake is triggered. With a broken
brake band, the chain brake will not
stop the chain. The chain brake must
be replaced if any part is worn to less
than 0.020" (0.5 mm) thick. Repairs on
a chain brake should be made by your
Sears Service Center. Take your unit
to the place of purchase or to the near-
est Sears Service Center.
• This saw is equipped with a chain
brake. The brake is designed to stop
the chain if kickback occurs.
