SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Intended use Power chain saws Protective gloves (6) made of thick leather are part of the This power chain saw may be used only for sawing wood out of doors. It is intended for the followung uses depending on its prescribed equipment and must always be worn during class: operation of the chain saw.
Fuels / Refuelling Stop the engine before refuelling the chain saw. ‑ Do not smoke or work near open fires (5). Let the engine cool down before refuelling. Fuels can contain substances similar to solvents. Eyes and skin should not come in contact with mineral oil products. Always wear protective gloves when refuelling.
Kickback - When working with the chain saw dangerous kickbacks may occur. Kickback occurs when the upper part of the end of the guide bar inadvertently touches wood or other hard objects (10). This causes the saw to be thrown back toward the user with great force and out of control.

Be careful when cutting splintery wood. Cut pieces of wood may be pulled along (risk of injuries). When cutting with the upper edge of the guide bar, the chain saw may be pushed in the direction of the user if the chain gets clamped.
All other work must be carried out by MARUYAMA Service. Use only original MARUYAMA spare parts and accessories. Using spare parts other than original MARUYAMA parts or accesories and guide bar/chain combinations or lengths which are not approved bring a high risk of accidents. We cannot...

PUTTING INTO OPERATION CAUTION: Before doing any work on the guide bar or chain, always switch off the engine and pull the plug cap off the spark plug (see „Replacing the spark plug“). Always wear protec- tive gloves! CAUTION: Start the chain saw only after having assembled it com- pletely and inspected.
Lift the chain (9) over the sprocket (8). CAUTION: Do not insert the chain between the chain sprocket and the disc. Guide the chain from above about halfway into the groove (10) on the guide bar. Place the chain over the chain catch (11) on the bottom. CAUTION: Note that the cutting edges along the top of the chain must point in the direction of the arrow!
While keeping the tip of the guide bar raised, tighten the nuts (2) again with the universal wrench. Chain brake The MCV51 comes with an inertia chain brake as standard equipment. If kickback occurs due to contact of the guide-bar tip with wood (see SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, page 6), the chain brake will stop the chain through inertia if the kickback is sufficiently strong.

Checking the chain lubrication Never work with the chain saw withoute sufficient chain lubri ‑ ca tion. Otherwise the service life of the chain and guide bar will be reduced. Before starting work check the oil level in the tank and the oil feed. Check the oil feed rate as described below: Start the chain saw (see „Starting the engine”).
Starting the engine Do not start the chain saw until after it is completely as- sembled and checked! Move at least 3 meters / 10 feet away from the place where the chain saw was fuelled. Make sure you have a secure footing, and place the saw on the ground in such a way that the guide bar and chain are not near anything.
Caution: If the chain does not stop immediately in this test, turn off the engine immediately. Do NOT use the chain saw in this condition! Contact a MARUYAMA service centre.

Turn adjusting screw (S) clockwise (screw in): Idle speed increases. Important: If the saw chain still moves during idle even after you have adjusted the idle speed, do NOT use the saw. Take it to a MARUYAMA service centre!
MAINTENANCE Sharpening the saw chain CAUTION: Before doing any work on the guide bar or chain, always switch off the engine and pull the plug cap off the spark plug (see „Replacing the spark plug“). Always wear protective gloves! The chain needs sharpening when: The sawdust produced when sawing damp wood looks like wood flour.

Files and how to work with them Use a special saw chain round file for sharpening. Standard round files are unsuitable. For the order number, see “Accessories”. Type 086, 484, 686: File the first cutter half with a 4,8 mm dia. round saw‑chain file, then switch to a 4.5 mm dia. file. Type 093, 099: File the first cutter half with a 5,5 mm dia. round saw‑chain file, then switch to a 4.5 mm dia. file. The file should cut only when pushed forwards (arrow). Lift the file when leading it backwards. First sharpen the shortest cutter. The length of this cutter is then the standerd for all other cutters of the chain. New saw teeth must be filed to the exact same shape as the used teeth, including on their running surfaces.
The chain brake is a very important safety device and like any other component subject to normal wear and tear. Regular inspection and maintenance are important for your own safety and must be done by a MARUYAMA service centre. SERVICE Cleaning the guide bar CAUTION: Protective gloves must be worn.
Replacing the saw chain CAUTION: Use only chains and guide bars designed for this saw (see the Extract from the spare-parts list)! When changing chain types, always make sure to use the right sprocket (12). It may be necessary to change the sprocket.
Cleaning the air filter CAUTION: To prevent eye injury, always wear eye protection when cleaning the filter with compressed air! Do not use fuel to clean the air filter. Disengage the cover clasp (1) with the universal wrench and take off the cover (2). Push up the combination switch (3) (Choke position) to prevent dirt particles from falling into the carburetor. Unhook the clasp (4) in the direction of the arrow with a finger or the universal wrench.
Replacing the spark plug CAUTION: Do not touch the spark plug or plug cap if the engine is running (high voltage). Switch off the engine before starting any maintenance work. A hot engine can cause burns. Wear protective gloves! The spark plug must be replaced in case of damage to the insulator, electrode erosion (burn) or if the electrodes are very dirty or oily.
Replacing the starter cable/ Replacing the return spring pack/Replacing the starter spring Unscrew four screws (1). Remove fan housing (2). Remove the air guide (3) from the fan housing. CAREFUL! Injury hazard! Do not unscrew screw (7) if the return spring is under tension. If the starter cable is to be replaced although it is not broken, it will be necessary to first de‑tension the cable drum return spring (13).
Cleaning the cylinder area After prolonged use, dirt and sawdust can build up on the cylin- der and cause the engine to overheat. The cylinder fin cleaner helps remove deposits between the cylinder fins and between the cylinder and the mounting plate. Remove cover. Remove the fan housing. CAUTION: To prevent eye injury, always wear eye protection when cleaning the filter with compressed air! The entire area (14) can now be brushed clean or cleaned with compressed air.
The user of the chain saw must not perform maintenance work which is not described in the instruction manual. All such work must be carried out by a MARUYAMA service centre. Page General Chain saw Clean exterior, check for damage.
