1/16-turn increments until performance
is satisfactory. Repeat this procedure
as necessary for proper adjustment.
After completing adjustments, check
for acceleration and chain movement
at idle. Reset if necessary.
High Speed Mlxture-H
DO NOT operate engine at full throttle
for prolonged periods while making ad-
justments. Damage to the engine can
occur. Make a test cut. Based on per-
fot;mance of the saw while cutting, ad-
just the high speed mixture setting in
1/16-turn increments as follows:
• Turn the high speed mixture screw (H)
clockwise untilsaw has good power in
the cut with no hesitation. Do not ad-
just by sound or speed, but judge by
how well the saw performs in the cut.
Turn the high speed mixture screw (H)
counterclockwise if the saw has
speed, but dies in the cut or lacks
power in the cut.
After completing adjustments, check
for acceleration and chain movement
at idle. Reset if necessary.
Acceleration Check
If the engine dies or hesitates instead of
accelerating, turn the low speed mixture
screw (L) counterclockwise until you
have smooth acceleration with no chain
movement at idle.
_WARNING: Perform the following
steps after each use:
• Allow the engine to cool, and secure
the unit before storing or transporting.
• Store chain saw and fuel in a well
ventilated area where fuel vapors
cannot reach sparks or open flames
from water heaters, electric motors or
switches, furnaces, etc.
• Store chain saw with all guards in
place and position chain saw so that
any sharp object cannot accidentally
cause injury.
• Store chain saw well out of the reach
of children.
SEASONAL STORAGE
Prepare your unit for storage at the
end of the season or if it will not be
used for 30 days or more.if your chain
saw is to be stored for a period of time:
• Clean saw thoroughly before storage.
• Store in a clean dry area.
• Lightly oil external metal surfaces
and guide bar.
• Oil the chain and wrap it in heavy pa-
per or cloth.
FUEL SYSTEM
Under FUEUNG ENGINE in the OPERA-
TION section of this manual, see mes-
sage labeled IMPORTANT regarding
the use of gasohol in your chain saw.
Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alter-
native in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to the gasoline in the fuel
tank or fuel storage container. Follow
the mix instructions found on stabilizer
containers. Run engine at least 5 min-
utes after adding stabilizer.
Craftsman 40:1, 2-cycle engine oil (air
cooled) is blended with fuel stabilizer. If
you do not use this Sears oil, you can
add a fuel stabilizer to your fuel tank.
ENGINE
• Remove spark plug and pour 1 tea-
spoon of 40:1, 2-cycle engine oil (air
cooled) through the spark plug open-
ing. Slowly pull the starter rope 8 to
10 times to distribute oil.
• Replace spark plug with new one of
recommended type and heat range.
• Clean air filter.
• Check entire unit for loose screws,
nuts, and bolts. Replace any dam-
aged, broken, or worn parts.
• At the beginning of the next season,
use only fresh fuel having the proper
gasoline to oil ratio.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one sea-
son to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if it starts
to rust.
