PROPER CUTTING STANCE
See gure 20.
■ Balanceyourweightwithbothfeetonsolidground.
■ Keep left arm with elbow locked in a “straight arm”
position(B)towithstandanykick-backforce.
■ Keepyourbodytotheleftofthechainline(A).
■ Keepyourthumbonundersideofhandlebar(C).
BASIC OPERATING/CUTTING PROCEDURES
Practise cutting a few small logs using the following
techniquetogetthe“feel”of usingyoursawbeforeyou
beginamajorsawingoperation.
1. Taketheproper stanceinfront ofthewoodwith the
sawidling.
2. Accelerate the engine to full throttle just before
enteringthecutbysqueezingthethrottletrigger.
3. Begincuttingwiththesawagainstthelog.
4. Keeptheengineatfullthrottletheentiretimeyouare
cutting.
5. Allowthechaintocutforyou;exertonlylightdownward
pressure.Forcingthecutcouldresultindamagetothe
bar,chain,orengine.
6. Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is
completed, allowing the engine to idle. Running the
sawatfullthrottlewithoutacuttingloadmayresultin
unnecessaryweartothechain,bar,andengine.
7. Donotputpressureonthesawattheendofthecut.
WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS
See gure 21. See gure 27 - 28.
■ Cutonlywoodormaterialsmadefromwood;nosheet
metal,noplastics,nomasonry,nonon-woodbuilding
materials.
■ Never allow children to operate your saw. Allow no
person to use this chainsaw who has not read this
operator’s manual or received adequate instructions
forthesafeandproperuseofthischainsaw.
■ Keep everyone – helpers, bystanders, children, and
animals,asafedistancefromthecuttingarea.During
fellingoperations,thesafedistanceshouldbeatleast
twicetheheightofthelargesttreesinthefellingarea.
Duringbuckingoperations,keepaminimumdistance
of(4.5m)15ftbetweenworkers.
■ Alwayscutwith both feetonsolidground to prevent
beingpulledoffbalance.
■ Donotcutabovechestheightasasawheldhigheris
difficulttocontrolagainstkick-backforces.
■ Do not fell trees near electrical wires or buildings.
Leavethisoperationforprofessionals.
■ Cutonlywhenvisibilityandlightareadequateforyou
toseeclearly.
ADJUSTING THE CARBURETTOR
See gure 22 - 24.
Beforeadjustingthecarburettor,cleantheairlter(A)and
thestartercovervents(B).Allowtheenginetowarmup
prior to carburettor adjustment. Refer to “Maintenance”
laterinthismanual.
The carburettor is factory set and should not require
adjusting. The carburettor will permit only limited
adjustmentofthe“L”(LowJet)and“H”(HighJet)needles.
Any adjustment should be done by a Homelite service
dealer.
Under no circumstances should the “L” (Low Jet) and
“H” (High Jet) needles be forced outside the range of
adjustment.
CAUTION
Seriousdamage may occurto theengine ifimproper
adjustmentsaremadetothe“L”and“H”needles.Do
notforcethe“L”and“H”needlesoutsidetheadjustment
range!
