3. HOW TO MIX FUEL 4. IMPORTANT POINTS
a. Pour one-half of the gasoline into an ap­
proved, marked container.
Do not try to mix
oil and gasoline directly in the fuel tank.
b. Add entire measure of 2-cycle Engine Oil.
c. Mix.
d. Add remainder of gasoline.
e. Mix thoroughly for one minute.
a.
b.
Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame in
the areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or
stored. There should be no smoking, open
flames or work that could cause sparks.
Mix, pour and store fuel in an approved,
marked, container and in a well-ventilated
area. Gasoline vapors are harmful to your
health and are a serious fire hazard. Use a fun­
nel or spout when pouring fuel.
Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Allow3/4 inch
for expansion. Tighten Fuel Cap securely. Fig­
ure 11.
Wipe up all fuel spills. Wipe off any fuel spil­
led on the saw. Completely dry the saw before
using.
■
Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from
fuel and fueling site before starting the en­
gine.

G. BAR AND CHAIN Oil.
• The guide bar and cutting chain require con­
tinuous lubrication in order to remain in
operating condition.
Lubrication is provided
by the automatic oiler system when the oil
tank is kept filled. ^
—Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain.
—Too little oil will cause overheating shown
;......... by smoke coming from the chain and/or
...... discoloration of the guide bar rails. •
• Use Sears Bar and Chain Lubricant #71-36554
: or clean SAE SOW oil.
• In freezing weather oil will thicken, making it
necessary to thin bar and chain oil with a
small amount of Diesel Fuel #1 dr Kerosene.
Bar and chain oil must be free flowing for the
oil system to pump enough oil for adequate
lubrication.
1. USE THE FOLLOWING:
30°F or above — Lubricant — undiluted.
3 0 ° F - 0 ° F — ‘
Below 0°F
95% lubricant to 5% Diesel
Fuel #1 or Kerosene.
90% lubricant to 10%
Diesel Fuel #1 or Kerosene.
2. HOW TO FILL THE OIL TANK
a. Stop the engine.
b. Turn saw on its side with oil cap up. Figure
12 .
c. Loosen cap slowly and wait for pressure in
the tank to be released before removing the
cap. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
d. Fill the oil tank.
e. Replace the oil cap securely.
3. IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
a. Fill the oil tank each time you refill the fuel
tank to ensure there will be sufficient oil for
the chain whenever you start and run the
saw.
b. The saw will use about 1/2 tank of chain oil
for each tank of fuel mixture. If less oil is
used, check for a plugged oil hole in the
guide bar.
c. It is normal for a small amount of oil to ap­
pear under the saw after the engine stops.
This is due to oil draining from the bar and
chain when not in use.
