FILLING THE FUEL TANK
See Figure 2.
Clean the surface around the fuel cap to prevent con-
tamination.

Loosen the fuel cap slowly.

Carefully pour the fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spill-
age.

Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the
o-ring.

Immediately replace the fuel cap and hand tighten. Wipe
up any fuel spillage.
NOTE: It is normal for the engine to emit smoke during and
after the first use.
ADDING BAR AND CHAIN OIL
See Figure 3.
Use HOMELITE Bar and Chain Oil. It is designed for chains
and chain oilers, and is formulated to perform over a wide
temperature range with no dilution required. Chain saw
should use approximately one tank of oil per tank of fuel.
NOTE: Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise contaminated
oils. Damage may occur to the oil pump, bar, or chain.
Carefully pour the bar and chain oil into the oil tank.

Fill the oil tank every time you fuel the engine.
OPERATING THE CHAIN BRAKE
See Figures 4 - 5.
Check the operating condition of the chain brake prior to
each use.
Using the back of your left hand, engage the chain brake
by pushing the chain brake lever/hand guard toward the
bar while the chain is rotating rapidly.

Reset the chain brake back into the RUN position by
grasping the top of the chain brake lever/hand guard and
pulling toward the front handle until you hear a click.
WARNING:
If the chain brake does not stop the chain immediately, or
if the chain brake will not stay in the run position without
assistance, take the saw to an authorized service center
for repair prior to use.
