INSTALLING/REPLACING THE GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN Remove the old chain from the bar. Replace the chain cover. Screw on by turning the knob clockwise. Lay out the new saw chain in a loop and straighten any kinks. The cutters should face in the direction of the chain rotation. If they face backwards, turn the loop over. Replace the chain drive links into the bar groove. NOTE: Make certain of the direction of chain. Position the chain so there is a loop at the back of the bar.
CHAIN TENSION AND MAINTENANCE CHAIN TENSION Lift file away from the steel on each return stroke. Stop the engine before setting the chain tension. Make sure the guide bar screw is loosened to finger tight, turn the tensioning wheel up or down to tension the chain. A cold chain will be correctly tensioned when there is no slack on the underside of the guide bar, the chain is snug, but it can be turned by hand without binding. Put a few firm strokes on every tooth.

WARNING: To guard against injury, observe the following: Read instruction manual before using, save instruction manual. Keep hands away from chain. Keep hands on handles. Don’t overreach. 2.
OPERATING FELLING A TREE WARNING: Do not fell trees during periods of high wind or heavy precipitation. Wait to do your cutting until the hazard has ended. When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons, at the same time, the felling operation should be separated from the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree being felled.
OPERATING CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS As the tree starts to fall, stop the chain saw and put it down immediately. Retreat along the cleared path, but watch the action in case something falls your way. Be alert for overhead limbs or branches that may fall and watch your footing. LIMBING Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree. Work slowly, keeping both hands on the chain saw with a firm grip. Always make sure your footing is secure and your weight is distributed evenly on both feet.
