5. Installing guide bar and saw chain SE1 A standard saw unit package contains the items as shown. (SE1) Open the box and install the guide bar and the saw chain to the power unit as follows. WARNING The saw chain has very sharp edges. Use thick, protective gloves to avoid injury. SE2 SE3 1. Loosen a nut and remove the chain cover. 2.

6. Fuel and chain oil WARNING • Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 3m (10ft) away from the fueling point before starting the engine. • The ZENOAH engines are lubricated by oil specially formulated for air-cooled 2cycle gasoline engine use.
6. Fuel and chain oil again for at least one minute. As some oils may be difficult to agitate depending on oil ingredients, sufficient agitation is necessary for the engine to last long. Be careful that, if the agitation is insufficient, there is an increased danger of early piston seizing due to abnormally lean mixture. 5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers. 6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy identification.
7. Operation OP1 ■ FUELING THE UNIT (OP1) 1. Remove the fuel tank cap and pour fuel into the tank up to 80% of full capacity. 2. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel spillage around the unit. 3. Remove the oil tank cap and pour chain oil into the tank. Fasten the cap securely. WARNING 1. Select bare ground for fueling. 2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling point before starting the engine. 3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit.
7. Operation OP5 4. Pull out the choke knob to the closed position. (OP5) NOTE When restarting immediately after stopping the engine, Ieave the choke knob at the open position. 5. While holding the saw unit securely on the ground, pull the starter rope vigorously. (OP6) OP6 WARNING Do not start the engine while hanging the chain saw with a hand. The saw chain may touch your body. It's very dangerous. 6. When engine has ignited first, push in the choke knob and pull the rope again to start the engine. 7.
7. Operation ■ ADJUSTING CARBURETOR (OP9) The carburetor has been adjusted at the factory.

If you have to make the adjustment yourself, please carefully follow the procedure below. NOTE Be sure to adjust the carburetor with the bar chain attached. OP9 1.
8. Sawing NOTE • Before proceeding to your job, read “For Safe Operation” section. It is recommended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get accustomed to your unit. • It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure while running the engine at full throttle. • Racing the engine with the chain seized in a cutaway can damage the clutch system.
8. Sawing ■ LOGGING AND LIMBING WARNING 1. Always ensure your foothold as well as stability of the tree. 2. Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log. 3. Read the instructions in “For safe operation” to avoid kickback of the saw. SA3 Before starting work, check the direction of bending force inside the log to be cut. Always finish cutting from the opposite side of bending direction to prevent the guide bar from being caught in the cutaway.
8. Sawing ● Pruning SA6 WARNING 1. Do not use an unstable foothold or a stepladder. 2. Do not overreach. 3. Do not cut above shoulder height. 4. Always use both hands to grip the saw. Cut up from the bottom, finish down from the top.
9. Maintenance MA1 WARNING Make sure to stop the engine before inspecting and/or servicing the unit. ■ DAILY MAINTENANCE MA2 SAW CHAIN It is one of the essential factors for smooth and safe operation to keep the cutters always in good condition. It’s time to reform the cutters when; 1. Sawdust has become powder-like. 2. You need extra force to saw in. 3. The cutaway tends to curve by itself. 4. The unit vibrates abnormally when sawing. 5. Fuel consumption has increased.
9. Maintenance MA5 GUIDE BAR 1. Remove sawdust in the bar groove and the oiling port. (MA5) 2. Grease the nose sprocket from the feeding port on the tip of the guide bar. (MA6) MA6 MA7 MA8 3. Periodically turn over the guide bar when mounting it to the unit, in order to prevent partial wear. 4. The bar rail should always be a square. Check for wear of the bar rail. Apply a ruler to the bar and the outside of a cutter. If a gap is observed between them, the rail is normal.
9. Maintenance MA9 OILING PORT Dismount the guide bar and check the oiling port for blocking by sawdust. (MA9) GENERAL Inspect the entire unit for fuel leakage, Ioose fastenings, and damage to major parts, especially handle joints and guide bar mounting. When anything wrong be found, make sure to have it repaired before next usage. MA10 ■ MONTHLY MAINTENANCE FUEL FILTER When the engine runs short of fuel supply, check the fuel filter for blockage.
9. Maintenance HANDLE MOUNTING JOINTS Inspect the handle mounting joints and replace when any adhered part is peeled off or a crack is observed on the rubber part. Also replace when the inside of the rear damper metal has worn remarkably. 10. Storage 1. Empty the fuel tank and run the engine out of fuel. 2. Empty the oil tank. 3. Clean the entire unit. 4.
