properly adjusted, or not completely and securely
assembled.
2. Operate the chain saw only in outdoor areas.
3. Do not operate the saw from a ladder or in a tree.
4. Position all parts of your body to the left of cut and
away from the saw chain when the engine is
running.

Jectwhile startingthe engine. NeverWto stadthe saw
when the gu'rdebar isin a cutor kerf.
7. Use extreme caution when cutting small size brush
and saplings. Slender material can catchlthe saw
chain and be whipped toward you or pull you off
balance.
8. Be alert for springback when cutting a limb that is
under tension so you will not be struck by the limb or
saw when the tension in the wood fibers is released.

MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER
1. Have all chain saw service performed by your Sears
Service Center withthee00cept_oftheitemslistedinthe
maintenance section of this manual. For example, if
improper toolsare used to removeor hold the flywheel
when servicing the clutch, structural damage to the
flywheel c_ occurand cause theflywheelto burst.
2. Keep fuel and oil caps, screws and fasteners
securely tightened.
3. Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel
mixture.
4. Make certain the saw chain stops moving when the
throttle trigger isreleased. Forcorrection,refertopage
24 for carburetor idleadjustmentinstructions.
5. Stop the saw ifthe chain strikes a foreign object. In-
sPect the unitand repair or replace parts as necessary.
6. Disconnect the spark plug before performing any
maintenance except for carburetor adjustments.
7. Never modify your saw in any way. Use only attach-
ments supplied or specifically recommended by the
n_nufacturer.
8. Always replace the handguard immediately if it
becomes damaged, or broken or is otherwise
removed.

CARRY AND STORE YOUR SAW SAFELY
1. Handcarry the unit with the engine stopped, the
Muffler away from your body, and the Guide Barand
"Chain to the rearcovered preferably with a scabbard.
2. Before transporUng in any vehicle or storing in any
enclosure, allow your saw to cool completely, cover
the bar and chain and properly secure to avoid
turnover, fuel spillage or damage.
3. Empty the fuel tank before storing the tool. Use
up fuel left in the carburetor by starting the eng-
ine and letting the engine run until it stops.
4. Store in a dry area out of the reach of children and
away from where fuel vapors can reach sparks or an
open flame from hotwater heaters,furnaces,etc.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Exposure to vibrations through prolonged useof
chain saws may produce Whiteflnger disease
(Raynaud's phenomenon). This phenomenon
reduces the hand's ability to feet and regulate
temperature, produces numbness and burning
sensations and can cause nerve and circulation
damage and tissue necrosis.
An anti-vibration system designed to reduce
engine vibration is recommended for those using
chain saws on a-regular or sustained basis and is
provided on this saw. However, an antivibration
system does not guarantee the avoidance of
•Whitefingerdisease. Continual and regular users
must monitor closely their use of chain saws and
physical condition.
Notice: Refer to the Code of Federal Regulations, Section
1910.266(5); 2.5.1 of American National Standard
Safety Requirements for Pulpwood Logging, ANSI
03.1-1978; and relevant state safety codes when
using a chainsaw for loggingpurposes.
