(Fig. 2). • Major cases of chainsaw accidents happen when the chain hits the operator. While working with the chainsaw, always use safety protective approved clothing. The use of protective clothing does not eliminate injury risks, but reduces the injury effects in case of accident. -
Page 8: Fuel Handling
Use extreme caution when handling gasoline or fuel mix. Do not smoke or bring any fire or flame near the fuel or the chainsaw (Fig. 7). • To reduce the risk of fire and burn injury, handle fuel with care. It is highly flammable. -
Page 9: Precautions Against Kickback
SAFETY RULES • As an additional safety precaution, apply the chain brake prior to setting down the saw. • Only use the chain saw in well-ventilated places, do not opera- te the chain saw in explosive or flammable atmospheres or in closed environments (Fig. - Page 10 SAFETY RULES • Do not twist the saw as the bar is withdrawn from an undercut when bucking. Avoid Pull-In: • Always begin cutting with the engine at full speed and the saw housing against wood. • Use wedges made of plastic or wood. Never use metal to hold the cut open.
- Page 11 SAFETY RULES • Do not cut above shoulder height. It is difficult to maintain con- trol of saw above shoulder height. Kickback Safety Features • Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar, designed with a small radius tip which reduces the size of the kickback danger zone on the bar tip.
- Page 12 CKA requirements per standard. WARNING: Do not mount a bow guide on any Efco chainsaw. The risk of kickback is increased with a bow guide because of the increased kickback contact area.

Page 13: Precautions To Reduce Vibration Risk
WARNING: The computer derived angles of par. 5.11 of ANSI B 175.1 – 1991 may bear no relationship to actual kickback bar rotation angles that may occur in real life cutting situa- tions. In addition, features designed to reduce kickback injuries may lose some of their effective- ness when they are no longer in their original condition, especially if they have been impro- perly maintained. - Page 14 • Never touch the chain or attempt to service the saw while the engine is running. • Never use fuel for cleaning operations. • Keep the chain saw in a dry place, off the ground with the chain guard on and the tanks empty. •...

Page 15: Assembly
ASSEMBLY Assembling the Bar and Chain WARNING: Check the chain tension frequently when operating the chain saw. Never touch or adjust the chain while the engine is running. The saw chain is very sharp, always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance to the chain. 1 Ensure that the chain brake is not set by pulling the chain brake lever / hand guard towards the front handle as shown in Fig. - Page 16 ASSEMBLY 13. Chain is correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without binding, see Fig. 28. Ensure that the chain brake is not set. NOTE: If chain is too tight, it will not rotate.

OPERATION Chain Tension WARNING: Never touch or adjust the chain while the motor is running. The saw chain is very sharp, always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance to the chain. 1. Stop the engine before setting the chain tension. Loosen the guide bar nuts slightly, turn the chain tensioning screw clockwise to tension the chain. -
Page 18: Bucking Spike
OPERATION Bucking Spike WARNING: Your chain saw may be fitted with an optional bucking spike (G, Fig. 34). The bucking spike is very sharp and can cause injury. Be extre- mely careful when working near the bucking spike. Fueling (Do Not Smoke!) This product is powered by a 2-cycle engine and requires pre- mixing gasoline and 2-cycle oil. -
Page 19: Chain Oil System
CAUTION: Never use waste oil. Always use biodegra- dable lubrificant that is specific for bar and chain and that is better for the environment and chainsaw’s parts. CAUTION: Do not use dirty, used contaminated oils. -
Page 20: Preparation For Cutting
OPERATION 1. Fill the oil tank every time engine is fueled. Chain saw should use approximately one tank of oil per tank of fuel. 2. The automatic oil pump is a positive displacement pump operated through gears driven off the clutch drum assembly. The pump will not oil at idle speeds. -
Page 21: Starting The Engine
Do not cut metal, plastics, masonry, or non-wood building materials. • Never allow children to operate your saw. Only allow others to use this chainsaw who have read this Operator's Manual or received adequate instructions for the safe and proper use of this chain saw. -
Page 22: Breaking-In The Engine
WARNING: Do not cut material with the choke/fast idle lever at the FULL CHOKE position. Do not ope- rate your chainsaw with the starting throttle lock engaged. Cutting with the starting throttle lock enga- ged does not permit the operator proper control of the saw or chain speed. -
Page 23: Stopping The Engine
OPERATION Difficult Starting (or starting a flooded engine) The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has not started after 10 pulls. Flooded engines can be cleared of excess fuel by following the warm engine starting procedure listed above. Ensure the ON/STOP switch is in the ON position. -

OPERATION DO NOT cut down a partially fallen tree with your saw. Be extremely cautious with partially fallen trees that may be poorly supported. When a tree doesn’t fall completely, set the saw aside and pull down the tree with a cable winch, block and tackle, or tractor. -
Page 27: Limbing And Pruning
OPERATION Logs Under Stress (Fig. 66-67) Make the first bucking cut (F) 1/3 of the way through the log and finish with a 2/3 cut (G) on the opposite side. As the log is being cut, it will tend to bend. The saw can become pinched or hung in the log if you make the first cut deeper than 1/3 of the diameter of the log. - Page 28 OPERATION Limbing Operation (Fig. 72-73) • Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only then can limbing be done safely and properly. • Leave the larger limbs underneath the felled tree to support the tree as you work. •...
