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.

Allowthe chain to cutforyou. Exert
onlylight downwardpressure.
Release the throttle trigger as soon
as the cut iscompleted, allowingthe

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
