1. Before first use and before each use thereafter,
remove the Oil Tank Cap. Inspect the Cap
Gasket for damage. Fill the oil reservoir to just
below fill plug with oil (not included). Refer to
Specifications Chart on page 8 for oil type.
Then replace the Oil Tank Cap. Oil is automatically
applied to the Saw Chain during operation.

then connect the outdoor rated extension cord
(not included) to the Power Cord. Make sure the
electrical cord is away from the cutting area.
3. Place the Hand Guard / Chain Brake Lever in normal

5. Stand in front of the wood to be cut
with your feet firmly in place.
6. Push the Trigger Lockout button completely in, then
squeeze and hold the Trigger. With the Chain Saw
running, you may release pressure on the Lockout
button. Releasing the Trigger will stop the motor.
NOTE: The Trigger cannot be activated unless
the Trigger Lockout button is depressed.
DANGER! To prevent serious injury and death from
kickback: Do not touch the Guide Bar Nose to the wood.
7. When the Chain Saw reaches full speed, begin
cutting with a light, downward pressure against
the bottom mid-section of the Saw Chain.
Allow the Saw Chain to cut at its own rate.
Applying too much pressure can damage the tool.
DANGER! To prevent serious injury and death when
cutting loose, round wood stock, place the wood stock
on a sawhorse, in a cradle, or use a timberjack (all
sold separately) to avoid grabbing and throw back.
8. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool, unplug it,
and place the Hand Guard / Chain Brake Lever
forward in its engaged position after use.
9. When the Saw has cooled completely, clean
thoroughly and cover the Chain Guide Bar
with the Chain Guide Bar Sheath. Store
the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
