41bWARNING:
Be sure to read the
fuel handling
information
in the safety
rules section of this manual before you
begin. If you do not understand
the
fuel handling
information
do not at-
tempt to fuel your unit. Seek help from
someone that does understand
the in-
formation
or call the customer

tance help line at 1-800-235-5878.
GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL
The bar and chain require lubrication.
The chain oiler provides
continuous
lubrication
to the chain and guide ba£
Be sure to fill the bar oil tank when you
fill the fuel tank (Capacity
= 6.8 fi. oz.).
Lack of oil will quickly
ruin the bar and
chain. Too little oil will cause overheat-
ing shown by smoke coming from the
chain and/or discoloration
of the bar.
For maximum
guide bar and chain life,
we recommend
you use Craftsman
chain saw bar oil. If Craftsman
bar oil
is not available,
you may use a good
grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to
obtain Craftsman
brand. The oil output
is automatically
metered during opera-
tion. Your saw will use approximately
one tank of bar oil for every tank of fuel
mix. Always till the bar oil tank when
you fill the fuel tank.
FUELING
ENGINE
='IL________
*!IJWARNING:
Remove fuel cap
slowly when refueling.
This engine is certified
to operate on
unleaded
gasoline.
Before operation,
gasoline
must be mixed with a good
quality synthetic
2-cycle air-cooled
en-
gine oil. We recommend
Craftsman
brand synthetic
oil. Mix gasoline
and
oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is ob-
tained by mixing 3.2 ounces of oil with
1 gallon of unleaded
gasoline.
In-
cluded with this saw is a 3.2 ounce
container
of Craftsman
brand synthetic
oil. Pour the entire contents
of this
container
into 1 gallon of gasoline
to
achieve the proper fuel mixture.
DO NOT USE automotive
oil or marine
oil. These oils will cause engine dam-
age. When mixing fuel, follow instruc-
tions printed on the oil containen
Once oil is added to the gasoline,
shake container
momentarily
to assure
that the fuel is thoroughly
mixed. Al-
ways read and follow the safety rules
relating to fuel before fueling your unit.
IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract mois-
ture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage for 30 days or
longer. Drain the gas tank, start the en-
gine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel
next season. See STORAGE instructions
for additional information.
Never use engine or carburetor
clean-
er products in the fuel tank or perma-
nent damage may occur.
See the STORAGE section for addition-
al information.
CHAIN BRAKE
Ensure chain brake is disengaged
by
pulling the front hand guard back to-
ward the front handle as far as pos-
sible.
The chain brake must be disen-
gaged before cutting with the saw.
_tlI_WARNING:
The chain must not
move when the engine runs at idle
speed.
If the chain moves at idle
speed, refer to CARBURETOR ADJUST-
MENTwithin
this manual.
Avoid con-
tact with the muffler.
A hot muffler can
cause serious
burns.
STOPPING
YOUR ENGINE
• Move ON/STOP switch to the STOP
position.
STARTING
