6. Fuel and Chain oil WARNING • Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 3m (10ft) away from the fueling point before starting the engine. • The RedMax engines are lubricated by oil specially formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use.
6. Fuel and Chain oil 4. Pour In the rest of gasoline and agitate again for at least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early piston seizing due to abnormally lean mixture. 5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers. 6.
7. Operation WARNING It is very dangerous to run a chainsaw that mounts broken parts or lacks any parts. Before starting engine, make sure that all the parts including bar and chain are installed properly. F7-1 (1) (2) ■ STARTING THE ENGINE 1.

Vibrations and kickback vary with different materials and the requirements of the safety regulations would not be respected.
8. Sawing F8-2 ■ FELLING A TREE (F8-2) 1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind, lean of the tree, location of heavy branches, ease of job after felling and other factors. 2. While clearing the area around the tree, arrange a good foothold and retreat path. 3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into the tree on the felling side. 4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side of the notch and at a level slightly higher than the bottom of the notch.
8. Sawing F8-3 F8-4 F8-5 A Log lying on the ground (F8-3) Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut from the opposite side. A Log hanging off the ground (F8-4) In area A, saw up from the bottom one-third and finish by sawing down from the top. In area B, saw down from the top one-third and finish by sawing up from the bottom. Cutting Limb of Fallen Tree (F8-5) First check to which side the limb is bent. Then make the initial cut from the bent side and finish by sawing from the opposite side.
9. Maintenance Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control device and systems may be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual.

10. Maintenance of Saw Chain and Guide Bar ■ SAW CHAIN F10-1 WARNING It is very important for smooth and safe operation to keep the cutters always sharp. Your cutters need to be sharpened when: • Sawdust becomes powder-like. • You need extra force to saw in. • The cut way does not go straight. • Vibration increases. • Fuel consumption increases. Cutter setting standards: WARNING Be sure to wear safety gloves. Before filing: • Make sure the saw chain is held securely. • Make sure the engine is stopped.
10. Maintenance of Saw Chain and Guide Bar F10-3 Make sure every cutter has the same length and edge angles as illustrated. (F10-3) (4) (5) (6) (7) F10-4 ■ GUIDE BAR • Reverse the bar occasionally to prevent partial wear. • The bar rail should always be a square. Check for wear of the bar rail. Apply a ruler to the bar and the outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed between them, the rail is normal. Otherwise, the bar rail is worn. Such a bar needs to be corrected or replaced.
11. Troubleshooting Guide Case 1. Starting failure: Make sure the icing prevention system is not working. Check fuel for water or substandard mixture. Replace with proper fuel. ➜ Remove and dry the spark plug. Then pull the starter again with no choke. ➜ Replace with a new plug. ➜ ➜ Check for engine flooding. ➜ Check the spark. Case 2. Lack of power/Poor acceleration/Rough idling Check fuel for water or substandard mixture. Replace with proper fuel. ➜ Clean. ➜ Readjust speed needles.
