To meet clean air standards, some areas of the United States and Canada use oxygenated fuels to help reduce emissions. If using an oxygenated fuel, make sure it is unleaded and meets the minimum octane rating requirements. Before using an oxygenated fuel, try to confirm the fuel’s contents. Some states/provinces require this information to be posted on the pump. The following are the EPA approved percentages of oxygenates: Ethanol (ethyl or grain alcohol) 10% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 10% ethanol by volume. Gasoline containing ethanol may be marketed under the name “Gasohol.” Do not use E85 fuel. MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether) 15% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 15% MTBE by volume. Methanol (methyl or wood alcohol) 5% by volume. You may use gasoline containing up to 5% methanol by volume as long as it also contains cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors to protect the fuel system. Gasoline containing more than 5% methanol by volume may cause starting and/or performance problems. It may also damage metal, rubber, and plastic parts of the product or your fuel system. If you notice any undesirable operating symptoms, try another service station or switch to another brand of gasoline. NOTE: Fuel system damage or performance problems resulting from the use of an oxygenated fuel containing more than the percentages of oxygenates stated previously are not covered under warranty. FILLING THE fuel TANK See Figure 2. n Clean the surface around the fuel cap to prevent contamination. n Loosen the fuel cap slowly. n Carefully pour the fuel mixture into the tank. Avoid spillage. n Prior to replacing the fuel cap, clean and inspect the gasket. n 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. Fig. 2 50:1 GASOLINE & LUBRICANT MIX Page 14 — English ADDING bar and chain lubricant See Figure 3. Use HOMELITE Bar and Chain Lubricant. 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 lubricant per tank of fuel. Note: Do not use dirty, used, or otherwise contaminated lubricants. Damage may occur to the oil pump, bar, or chain. n Carefully pour the bar and chain lubricant into the oil tank. n 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. n Engage the chain brake by rotating your left hand around the front handle, allowing the back of your hand to push the chain brake lever/hand guard toward the bar while the chain is rotating rapidly. Be sure to maintain both hands on the saw handles at all times. n 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. STARTING THE ENGINE See Figures 6 - 11. Starting the product differs depending on whether the engine is cold or warm. WARNING: Keep your body to the left of the chain line. Never straddle the saw or chain, or lean over past the chain line. operation Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Brake Position CHAIN LUBRICANT Fig. 6 Starter grip Run Position Page 15 — English STOP STOP STOP STOP operation n Place the chain saw on level ground and ensure that no objects or obstructions are in the immediate vicinity that could come in contact with the bar and chain. n Hold the front handle firmly with your left hand and put your right foot onto the base of the rear handle. To start a cold engine: n Set the ignition switch to the RUN ( I ) position. n Make sure the chain brake is in the run position by pulling back on the lever/hand guard. n Fully press and release the primer bulb 7 times. n Pull choke lever all the way out to FULL position. n When the temperature is above 50°F, pull the starter grip until the engine attempts to start, but no more than 3 times. When the temperature is below 50°F, pull the starter grip until the engine attempts to start, but no more than 5 times. n Push choke lever to RUN position. n Pull starter grip until engine runs. Note: Allow the saw to run in this position 15- 30 seconds, depending upon the temperature. n Depress the trigger release and squeeze and release the throttle trigger to return the engine to idle after a total run time of at least 30 seconds. CAUTION: Failure to release partial throttle when chain brake lever is in the brake position will result in serious damage to the unit. Never squeeze and hold the throttle trigger while the chain brake is in the brake position. To start a warm engine: n Set the ignition switch to the RUN ( I ) position. n Make sure the ch...
