    50 : 1 (2%) FUEL MIXTURE: 50:1 (2%) gasoline/oil mixture • Use premium unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 90. • Add a small amount of fuel prior to adding oil to container, top off with fuel for proper fuel/oil mixture, 1 gallon : 2.6 oz. and shake the container. 5 liters : 100ml FUEL CAP • Always shut off the saw before fueling. Allow engine to cool off before fueling. • Thoroughly mix the fuel in its container before fueling. • Slowly open the fuel cap to release any pressure that may have built-up in the tank. • Always fuel with saw laying on its side. • After adding fuel, tighten the fuel cap carefully and secure with a wrench. © 2014 ICS, Blount International Inc.

  • Page 5 QUICK START GUIDE ASSEMBLING THE SAW WARNING Never start the saw without the guidebar, diamond chain and side cover properly installed. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. • Loosen side cover nut and remove side cover. • Place bar onto stud and engage alignment block. • Mount the diamond chain on the guidebar starting at the drive sprocket and continue over the guidebar nose. NOTE: FORCE4 requires rim to be pulled outward for chain installation. © 2014 ICS, Blount International Inc. Specifications are subject to change without notice. REV061914 F/N 545067...
  • Page 6 ASSEMBLING THE SAW (continued) • Install the side cover and ensure chain adjustment pin engages hole in bar. • Do not fully tighten side cover nut until after chain is properly tensioned. • Make sure all the drive links are inside the guide bar groove then lift the bar nose and tension the chain by turning the screw clockwise. • Before cutting, check for proper tension by pulling the chain around the bar by hand. If you cannot easily pull by hand, the chain is too tight and needs to be loosened slightly. CAUTION: Be aware that guidebar rails may develop sharp edges over time so always pull the diamond chain by the diamond segments. © 2014 ICS, Blount International Inc. Specifications are subject to change without notice. REV061914 F/N 545067...
  • Page 7 • If the chain is too loose, it could come off the bar, or it will allow the drive sprocket to spin without turning the chain, which can chew up drive links. When a chain stretches to a point where the drive links are hanging approximately 1/2 in. (12 mm) to 3/4 in. (18 mm) below the bar, it is time to tension the chain. CHAIN TOO TIGHT CHAIN TOO LOOSE • Continue to lift up on the nose of the guidebar and firmly tighten the side cover nut. NOTE: To prevent chain tensioner breakage, be sure the side cover nut is tightened to approximately 20–25 ft-lbs (27–33 Nm). • Attach to water source with pressure of not less than 20 psi (1.5 bar). © 2014 ICS, Blount International Inc.

  • Page 8: Starting The Saw

    STARTING THE SAW ENGINE BREAK-IN • It is very important to break-in a new engine to “seat” all moving parts, especially the piston rings. • To break-in the engine, run one full tank of 50:1 (2%) fuel at idle, cycling the throttle every 5 to 10 minutes to prevent loading. • Failure to break-in an engine may result in piston seizure. Never start the saw without the guidebar, diamond chain WARNING and side cover properly installed. Failure to do so may result in serious injury. Always move the saw at least 10 feet (3 m) away from the CAUTION fueling area before starting. Place the saw on clear ground. Ensure that secure footing IMPORTANT is established and chain is not contacting any objects. • Pull the choke lever out, which also sets the throttle lock. • Depress primer bulb approximately 5–10 times. © 2014 ICS, Blount International Inc. Specifications are subject to change without notice. REV061914 F/N 545067...
  • Page 9 • Pull the starter cord (hard, fast, short pulls) until engine initially fires or “pops” . Could be as many as 10–15 pulls. • Push choke lever in. • Pull the starter cord until engine starts – should be 1 to 2 pulls. 5 TO 7 PULLS • Release the throttle lock by momentarily squeezing on the throttle trigger. • When the engine starts, allow the engine to idle briefly. Squeeze the throttle trigger several times to help warm up the engine. • Open the water valve completely. © 2014 ICS, Blount International Inc. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
