All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the operation and maintenance sections, should be performed by your nearest Homelite service dealer. Do not use in the rain, snow or wet conditions. Always maintain a proper stance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS KICKBACK See Figures 1 and 2. WARNING: Kickback may occur when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contact at the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object and stop the chain for an instant. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Push and Pull - This reaction force is always opposite to the direction the chain is moving where wood contact is made.
Thus, the operator must be ready to control the PULL when cutting on the bottom edge of the bar, and PUSH when cutting along the top edge. When making a replacement, be sure to order one of the Homelite bars listed for your saw in this operator's manual. The proper size SAFE-T-TIP® nose guard comes installed on the bar. Use only guide bars that have a provision for mounting the SAFE-T-TIP®. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The cell may explode. Batteries should be recycled, consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.

BATTERY CHARGER RED LIGHT. CHAIN OIL SYSTEM See Figure 8.
Use HOMELITE Bar and Chain Oil. It is formulated to perform over a wide temperature range with no dilution required. NOTE: Do not use dirty, used or otherwise con- taminated oils. STARTING AND STOPPING THE CHAIN See Figure 9. WARNING: Keep body to the left of the chain line.
Never straddle the saw or chain, or lean over past the chain line. STARTING THE CHAIN SAW 1.
Place the chain saw on a flat bare surface and make sure no objects or obstructions are in imme- diate vicinity which could come in contact with the bar and chain. WARNING: Never use a left-handed (cross-handed) grip, or any stance which would place your body or arm across the chain line. Maintain a proper grip on the saw whenever the unit is running.
The fingers should encircle the handle and the thumb is wrapped under the handle- bar. PROPER CUTTING STANCE See Figure 13. Weight should be balanced with both feet on solid ground. Keep left arm with elbow locked in a 'straight arm' position to withstand any kickback force. Your body should always be to the left of the chain line. WARNING: Periodically glance at the top of the tree during the backcut to assure the tree is going to fall in the desired direction.
WARNING: If the tree starts to fall in the wrong direction, or if the saw gets caught or hung up during the fall, leave the saw and save yourself! Felling a tree - When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more persons, at the.
Felling Backcut. The backcut is always made level and horizontal, and at a minimum of 2 inches (5 cm) above the horizontal cut of the notch. See Figures 15 and 16. Never cut through to the notch. Always leave a band of wood between the notch and backcut (approximately 2 inches (5 cm) or 1/10 the diameter of the tree). When bucking on a slope, always stand on the uphill side of the log.
To maintain complete control of the chain saw when cutting through the log, release the cutting pressure near the end of the cut without relaxing your grip on the chain saw handles. Do not let the chain contact the ground. TYPES OF CUTTING USED See Figure 21. OVERBUCKING Begin on the top side of the log with the bottom of the saw against the log; exert light pressure downward.

Note that the saw will tend to pull away from you. UNDERBUCKING Begin on the under side of the log with the top of the saw against the log. PRUNING See Figure 23. Pruning is trimming limbs from a live tree. Work slowly, keeping both hands on the chain saw with a firm grip.
Always make sure your footing is secure and your weight is distributed evenly on both feet. Do not cut from a ladder, this is extremely danger- ous. ASSEMBLING BAR AND CHAIN See Figures 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29. CAUTION: Remove the battery pack from the chain saw and make sure the chain has stopped before you do any work on the saw. WARNING: The safety instructions in this section are to protect the user from serious personal injury. Replace the chain cover, washer and chain cover screw. Tighten the chain cover screw finger tight only.
The bar must be free to move for tension adjustment. Remove all the slack from the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw clockwise until the chain seats snugly against the bar with the drive links in the bar groove. CHAIN TENSION See Figures 30 and 31. Stop the engine before setting the chain tension. Make sure the guide bar screw is loosened to finger tight, turn the chain tensioner clockwise to tension the chain. Refer to “Assembling the Bar and Chain” earlier in this manual for additional information.
NOTE: Inspect the drive sprocket for wear or damage when replacing the chain. If signs of wear or damage are present in the areas indicated, have the drive sprocket replaced by a Homelite Service dealer. HOW TO SHARPEN THE CUTTERS See Figure 34 and 35.
Put a few firm strokes on every tooth. File all left hand cutters in one direction.
Then move to the other side and file the right hand cutters in the opposite direction. Occasionally remove filings from the file with a wire brush. WARNING: Improper chain sharpening increases the potential of kickback.
Use a Flat File and a Depth Gauge Jointer to lower all gauges uniformly. Depth gauge jointers are available in.020 in.
(0.5 mm to 0.9 mm). Use a.025 in. (0.6 mm) depth gauge jointer. After lowering each depth gauge, restore original shape by rounding the front.
