ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
• INTRODUCTION
This unit is designed for occasional homeowner use and
should not be used for commercial purposes or subjected
to heavy continuous use.
Your new chain saw can be used for a variety of projects
such as cutting firewood, making fence posts, felling small
trees, limbing, pruning at ground level, and light carpentry.
Cut only wood or wood products with your saw.
• ASSEMBLY REQUIREMENTS
Your new chain saw will require adjustment of chain and
filling the oil tank with lubricating oil before the unit is
ready for operation. Do not start the saw motor until the
unit is properly prepared. Read all instructions carefully.
Do not install any other size bar and chain than what is
recommended for your model.
• GUIDE BAR / SAW CHAIN INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Disconnect the chain saw from
mains before checking adjusting the chain
saw tension.
TO INSTALL GUIDE BAR & SAW CHAIN:
1. Place power unit on flat surface.
2. To remove the side cover (A), turn the knob (B) count-
er-clockwise. (Fig. 3A)
3. Screw (C) the tension plate (D) on the bar. (Fig. 3B)
4. Spread the chain out with the cutting edges (E) of the
chain pointing in the DIRECTION OF ROTATION
(Fig. 3C).
5. To fit the chain on the bar, turn the tension plate (D)
counter-clockwise to the end. Install the chain and bar
on the power unit, turn the tension plate (D) clockwise
and then put the side cover (A) on. (Fig. 3D)
6. Turn the knob clockwise, adjust the chain tension pin
and then fasten the knob.
7. After running the chain saw around 1 hour, adjust the
chain tension to 2mm by applying 9N of torque.

• SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Proper tension of the saw chain is extremely important
and must be checked before starting, as well as during,
any cutting operation. Taking the time to make needed
adjustments to the saw chain will result in improved cut-
ting performance and prolonged chain life.
NOTE: A new chain and bar will need readjustment after
as few as 5 cuts. This is normal during the break-in peri-
od, and the interval between future adjustments will
lengthen quickly (Fig. 4).
CAUTION: If a chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO
TIGHT, the bar chain and saw bearings will
wear more rapidly. Study Fig. 4 for informa-
tion concerning correct cold tension (A), cor-
rect warm tension (B), and as a guide for
when saw chain needs adjustment (C).
CAUTION: If the chain is too loose, more
than 3mm after applying down force with fin-
ger, as shown in Fig. 4. It needs to be adjust-
ed, otherwise the stopping time might be over
the limit.

TO ADJUST SAW CHAIN TENSION:
NOTE: Make sure the chain brake is disengaged.
Disengage the chain brake (A) by pulling it backward (Fig.
5A).
1. To adjust the chain is simple easy, turn the knob (B)
clock wise. To lose the chain just turn counter clock.
(Fig. 5B)
2. After adjustment and while wearing heavy duty work
gloves, move the saw chain back and forth on the
guide bar to be sure the chain moves freely and is in
proper mesh with sprocket.
NOTE: If the chain is difficult to rotate or if it binds on the
guide bar, too much tension has been applied and must

be adjusted as follows:
a. To decrease tension, turn the adjustment screw
counterclockwise slowly. Move the chain back
and forth until it moves freely.

the bar retaining nuts (70 inch lbs.).

• FILLING OIL TANK
Using a funnel, fill oil tank with Talon Chain, Bar and
Sprocket oil. Wipe up any spills. Make sure no dirt gets
into the oil tank.
The saw chain requires lubrication while in use to mini-
mize friction with the guide bar. The oil tank holds 135cc
of oil, enough to lubricate the chain for 12-15 minutes of
sawing.
We recommend using Talon Chain, Bar and Sprocket Oil,
which contains additives to reduce friction wear and
reduce resin residue formations.
CAUTION: The oil tank level should be fre-
quently checked during operation to avoid
starving the bar and chain of lubrication.
NOTE: Your chain saw is equipped with an Automatic
Oiler system and is the ONLY source of lubrication for the
bar and chain (Fig. 6)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• TO START SAW
1. Make sure the chain brake IS DISENGAGED. The
motor will not start if the chain brake is in the
ENGAGED position. Disengage the chain brake by
pulling backward toward the motor (Fig. 7A).
WARNING: Ensure the extension cord is of
the proper size and type for your saw.
2. An extension cord retainer is built into the switch han-
dle that prevents the extension cord from pulling out
of the handle. To use this feature, simply double the
extension cord, about a foot from the end, and insert
it into the end of the handle. Hook the loop formed by
doubling the cord over the tab. Gently tug on the cord
to ensure that it is firmly retained in the saws handle.
Plug the receptacle end of the extension cord into the
tool;s power supply cord, as showed in Fig. 7B.
3. Grip the saw with both hands, left hand holding the
front /handle (DO NOT HOLD CHAIN BRAKE ) and
the right hand holding the rear handle. Thumbs and
fingers should encircle both handles (Fig. 7C).
4. With your RIGHT THUMB, push the LOCK/OFF but-
ton (C) forward to end the top of the rear handle, and
at the same time squeeze the
saw, release the trigger (Fig. 7D).

Fig. 5B
NOTE: It is not necessary to maintain pressure on the
LOCK/OFF button once the trigger is squeezed and the
motor is running. The LOCK/OFF button is a safety device
to avoid accidental starting.
• TO STOP MOTOR
The saw motor will automatically stop when the trigger is
released. The LOCK/OFF button will have to be
depressed and the trigger squeezed to restart the motor.

• CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATION
Adequate lubrication of the saw
chain during cutting operations
Fig. 6
is essential to minimize friction
with the guide bar.
Your chain saw is equipped with
an automatic oiler system. The
oiler automatically delivers the
proper amount of oil to the bar
and chain. There is no flow
adjustment.
The oil tank level can be checked in the inspection slot (A)
provided on the right side of the saw. Tank is full when oil
is at the top of the slot (Fig. 8).
NOTE: The saw chain stretches during use, particularly
when it is new, and occasional adjustment will be needed.
A new chain requires more frequent adjustment during the
break-in period. This is normal. See Section for Saw Chain
Tension Adjustment instructions.

CAUTION: Never starve the bar and chain of
lubrication oil. Running the saw DRY or with
TOO LITTLE OIL will decrease cutting effi-
ciency, shorten chain saw life, and cause
rapid dulling of the chain and excessive wear
of the bar from overheating. Too little is evi-
denced by smoke or bar discoloration.
CAUTION: A loose chain can jump off the bar
while you are cutting, as well as wear the bar
and chain. A chain that is too tight can dam-
age the saw. Either situation, chain too loose
or too tight, could cause serious personal
injury.
