PREPARING
YOUR
CHAJN
SAW
FOR
USE
It
will be necessary to assemble the pivot grip, cutter bar
and chain
to the moto-r
unit
and properly
adjust
the
chain
tension.
1.
Remove the
strut
assembly
and
outer and inner guide plates
from
the motor unit
(figure
3).
2. Secure the
pivot
grip to the motor unit (figure 3).
3.
Place the inner guide plate and cutter bar on the motor
unit
engaging
them on
the
two mounting
studs.
4. Assemble the
chain
to the
sprocket
and
cutter
bar making sure that the cutting
teeth
direction is correct (figure
4).
5. Replace the
outer
guide plate and strut assembly,
but
do
not
tighten
permanently.
The chain adjusting
pin must
engage into the cutter bar slot.
6.
Tighten chain, using the adjusting screw (figure
4). Then back
off
until
the
chain
can
be pulled freely around the bar by
hand
(figure 5). CAUTION
-
Use gloves
or cloth
to protect
your
hands.
7.
Secure
the
two hexagonal nuts
attaching the
strut
assembly
and cutter
bar to the
motor
unit.
Lift bar tip
slightly
to
insure
correct
seating.
FUEL AND
LUBRICATION
Lubrication
of
internal
moving parts
of
your
chain saw motor
is solely
supplied
by
oil
which is
mixed
with
gasoline.
Therefore
it
is very important
to
prepare
your fuel
mixture
properly.
Mix one
part
of
SAE:
40
motor
oil to
16 parts of
regular
gasoline:
or
use a
ratio of
1 pint of
oil
to 2 gallons
of
regular
gasoline.
MIXING
PRO-
CEDURE:
Pour into
a clean metal container half the amount of gasoline to be
mixed,
and add all
the required
oil.
Shake
or
stir
until
thoroughly
mixed.
Then
add
balance
of gasoline
and
shake
or
stir to insure mixing. DO
NOT
MIX DIRECTLY IN CHAIN
SAW FUEL
TANK.
Strain
fuel
mixture
through
a fine
mesh
screen
when
pouring into
fuel
tank, to eliminate any water or foreign particles.
CHAIN
OILER
Lubrication of the cutting chain is
essential
to minimize
pitch
fouling, wear and fric-
tion power
loss.
This is done
through
the
chain oiler (figure 1)
which
is
manually
controlled,
drawing its oil supply
from
a separate
reservoir
located at
the
cutting end
of the motor
unit.
Good clean oil is a
must.
SAE 10 or 20 is recommended but
because of locality, season and
the
timber being
cut
the
weight
of
oil
is variable,
We recommend a penetrating
oil with
a tacky quality.
