GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL

The chainoilerprovides continuouslu-

bricationto the chain and guide bar. Be

sure to fillthe bar o, tank when you ml

the fuel tank (Capacity = 6.8 fl. o.z.).

For maximum guide bar and chain life,

we recommendyou use Craftsman

chainsaw bar oil. IfCraftsman bar oil is

not available, you may use a good

grade SAE 30 oil untilyou are able to

obtain Craftsman brand.The oil output

isautomatically metered during opera-

tion.Your saw will use approximately

one tank of bar oilfor every tank of fuel

mix. Always fillthe bar oil tank when

you fillthe fuel tank.

FUEUNG ENGINE

This engine is certifiedto operate on

unleaded gasoline. Before operation,

gasoline must be mixed with a good

quality2-cycle air-cooled engine oil.We

recommend Craftsman brand oil. Mix

gasolineand oil at a ratioof 40:1 (A

40:1 ratiois obtained by mixing3.2

ounces of oilwith I gallon of unleaded

gasoline). DONOTUSEautomotive oil

or beat oil.These oilswill cause engine

damage. When mixing fuel follow the

instructionspdnted on the container.

Once oil_sadded to the gasoline,

shake container momentarily to assure

thatthe fuel isthoroughly mixed.

TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES

WARNING: Check for broken ordead

brancheswhich can fall while cutting

causing seriousinjury.Do not cutnear

buildingsor electricalwires ifyou do not

know the directionof tree fall, norcut at

nightsinceyou will not be able to see

well, nor dudngbad weather such as

rain,snow,or strongwinds, etc.

Carefullyplan your sawing operationin

advance. Clearthe work area. You

need a clear area allaround the tree so

you can have secure footing. Studythe

naturalcond'dionethatcan cause the

tree tofall ina pedloular direction,such

conditions include:

• The wind directionand speed.

• The lean of the wee. The lean of a

tree might not be apl_. rant due to un-

even or sloping terrain. Use a plumb

or level to determine the direction of

tree lean.

"• Weight and branches onane side.-

, Surroundingbees and obstacles.

Lookfordecay and rot. If the trunk is

• rotted,itcan snap and fall toward the

operator.

Make sure there is enough roomforthe

tree tofeel.Maintain a distance of 2-112

tree lengthsfromthe nearest person or

other objects. Engine noisecan drown

out a warningcall.

Remove dirt, stones,loose bark, nails,

staples, and wire from the tree where

cutsare to be made.
