GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this unit does not cov-
er items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence. To re-
ceive full value from the warranty, the
operator must maintain unit as instruct-
ed in this manual. Various adjustments
will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your unit.
S Once a year, replace the spark plug,
air filter element, and check guide bar
and chain for wear. A new spark plug
and air filter element assures proper
air-fuel mixture and helps your engine
run better and last longer.
CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR
WORN PARTS
Contact your Sears Service Centre for
replacement of damaged or worn parts.
NOTE: It is normal for a small amount
of oil to appear under the saw after en-
gine stops. Do not confuse this with a
leaking oil tank.
S ON/STOP Switch -- Ensure ON/STOP
switch functions properly by moving
the switch to the
STOP position.
Make sure engine stops; then restart
engine and continue.
S Fuel Tank -- Do not use saw if fuel
tank shows signs of damage or leaks.
S Oil Tank -- Do not use saw if oil tank
shows signs of damage or leaks.

CHECK CHAIN TENSION
WARNING: Wear protective
gloves when handling chain. The
chain is sharp and can cut you even
when it is not moving.
Chain tension is very important.
Chains stretch during use. This is es-
pecially true during the first few times
you use your saw. Always check
chain tension each time you use and
refuel your saw.
