To receive full value from the warranty, the operator must maintain unit as instructed in this manual. Various ad- justments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your unit. • Once a year, replace the spark plug, air filter, and check guide bar and chain for wear. A new spark plug and air filter assures proper air-fuel mixture and helps your engine run better and last longer. CHECK FOR DAMAGED OR WORN PARTS Contact your Sears Service Center for replacement of damaged or worn parts. NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of oil to appear under the saw after engine stops. Do not confuse this with a leaking oil tank. • ON/STOP Switch - Ensure ON/STOP switch functions properly by moving the switch to the STOP position. Make sure engine stops; then restart engine and continue. • Fuel Tank - Do not use saw if fuel tank shows signs of damage or leaks. • Oil Tank - Do not use saw if oil tank shows signs of damage or leaks. CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS • Bar Nuts • Chain AND PARTS • Muffler • Cylinder Shield • Air Filter • Handle Screws • Vibration Mounts • Starter Housing • Front Hand Guard CHECK CHAIN TENSION ,_ WARNING: Wear protective gloves when handling chain. The chain is sharp and can cut you even when it is not moving. Chain tension is very important. Chains stretch during use. This is especially true during the first few times you use your saw. Always check chain tension each time before you start the chain saw. 1. Use a screwdriver to move chain around guide bar to ensure kinks do not exist. The chain should ro- tate freely. 14
