CHAIN SAW INFORMATION
1. Remove oil cap.
2. Fill oil tank with SAE #30 motor oil. Note:
For temperatures below 30°F, use SAE #10 oil.
For temperatures above 75°F, use SAE #40 oil.

to Oil Chain
Always check oil level before using saw. Do not
attempt to operate the oil system while saw is
in operation. To oil chain, press squeeze bulb.
Oil will feed onto the guide bar and chain. Press
squeeze bulb at least once before each cut (see
Figure 9). Check oil level often by looking at
oil sight level hole. Oil sight level hole is on left
side of saw, between front handle and front hand
guard.
3.
Replace oil cap at once. Tighten oil cap firmly
for
good seal. This will minimize oil seepage
from tank.
4. Wipe off excess oil.
IMPORTANT: Do not use "bar and
chain" oil. It is too thick and may not
oil properly.
Note: It is normal for oil to seep when saw
is not in use. Empty oil tank after each
use to prevent seepage.
Keep cord away from cutting area. Make sure cord
does not catch on branches or logs during cutting.
Inspect cords often. Replace damaged cords.
The extension cord may come undone from the
power cord during use. To avoid this, make a knot
with the two cords as shown in Figure 8.
FILLING OIL TANK
OILING CHAIN
1. Connect saw to extension cord. Connect exten-
sion cord to power supply.
2. Make sure section of log to be cut is not laying
o
n ground. This will keep chain from touching
ground as it cuts through log. Touching ground
with moving chain will dull chain.
3.
Use both hands to grip saw. Always use left
hand to grip front handle and right hand to grip
rear handle. Use firm grip. Thumbs and fingers
must wrap around saw handles (see Figure 10,
page 13).
4. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet
apart. Divide your weight evenly on both
feet.
5.
When ready to make a cut, press in trigger
lockout with right thumb and squeeze trigger
(see
Figure 10, page 13). This will turn saw
on. Releasing trigger will turn saw off. Make
sure saw is running at full speed before starting
a cut.
6.
When starting a cut, place moving chain
against wo
od. Hold saw firmly in place to
avoid possible bouncing or skating (sideways
movement) of saw.
CUTTING WITH THE CHAIN SAW
Chain Saw Power Cord
Extension Cord
Use proper extension cords with this saw. Use
only extension cords marked for outdoor use.
The cord must be marked with suffix W or W-A
following the cord type designation. Example:
SJTW-A or SJTW.
Use proper sized cord with this saw. Cord must
be heavy enough to carry current needed. An
undersized cord will cause voltage drop at saw.
Saw will lose power and overheat. Follow cord
size requirements listed below.
