_I, WARNING: Be sure to read tile
electrical safety information in the safe-
ty rules section of this manual before
you begin. If you do not understand
the electrical safety information do not
attempt to use your unit. Seek help
from someone that does understand
the information or call the customer as-
sistance help line at 1-800-285-5878.
GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL
The bar and chain require lubrication.
The chain oiler provides lubrication to
the chain and guide bar. Be sure to fill
the bar oil tank before each cutting ses-
sion. Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar
and chain. Too little oil will cause over-
heating shown by smoke coming from
the chain and/or discoloration of the bar.
For maximum guide bar and chain life,
we recommend you use Craftsman
chain saw bar oil. If Craftsman bar oil is
not available, you may use a good
grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to
obtain Craftsman brand. Use a funnel to
fill the tank. Replace oil cap securely.
Check oil level after every 15 minutes of
operation. Oil level can be monitored by
viewing the oil level indicator (see il-
lustration in KNOW YOUR CHAIN SAW
section).
STOPPING YOUR UNIT
Release the trigger switch.
• If motor does not stop, disconnect
the extension cord. Discontinue use
of unit until repaired by a Sears Ser-
vice Center.

CHAIN BRAKE
,_WARNING: If the 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
authorized service dealer. Take your
unit to the place of purchase or to the
nearest authorized service dealer.
• This saw is equipped with a chain
brake. The brake is designed to stop
the chain if kickback occurs.
• The inertia-activated chain brake is
activated if the front hand guard is
pushed forward, either manually (by
hand) or automatically (by sudden
movement).
• If the brake is already activated, it is
disengaged by pulling the front hand
guard back toward the front handle as
far as possible.
• When cutting with the saw, the chain
brake must be disengaged.
