GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this unit does not cov-
er items that have been subjected
to
operator abuse or negligence.
To re-
ceive full value from the warranty, the
operator
must maintain
unit as
instructed
in this manual. Various ad-
justments
will need to be made period-
ically to properly
maintain your unit.
• Once a year, replace the spark plug,
air filter, and check guide bar and
chain for wear. A new spark plug and
air filter assures proper air-fuel mixture
and helps your engine run better and
last longer.
CHECK
FOR DAMAGED
OR
WORN PARTS
Contact your Sears Service Center for
replacement of damaged or worn parts.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of
oil to appear under the saw after engine
stops. Do not confuse this with a leaking
oil tank.
• ON/STOP Switch - Ensure ON/STOP
switch functions properly by moving
the switch to the STOP position. Make
sure engine stops; then restart engine
and continue.
• Fuel Tank - Do not use saw if fuel
tank shows signs of damage or leaks.
• Oil Tank - Do not use saw if oil tank
shows signs of damage
or leaks.

Chain tension is very important. Chains
stretch during use. This is especially true
during the first few times you use your
saw. Always check chain tension each
time before you start the chain saw.
1. Use the screwdriver
end of the
chain adjustment
