4. For safe operation  
1. Never operate a chain saw when you are  
fatigued, ill, or upset, or under the  
influence of medication that may make  
you drowsy, or if you are under the  
influence of alcohol or drugs.  
8. Before you start the engine, make sure  
the saw chain is not contacting anything.  
9. Always carry the chain saw with the  
engine stopped, the guide bar and saw  
chain to the rear, and the muffler away  
from your body.  
2. Use safety footwear, snug fitting clothing  
and eye, hearing and head protection  
devices.  
10. Always inspect the chain saw before  
each use for worn, Ioose, or changed  
parts. Never operate a chain saw that is  
damaged, improperly adjusted, or is not  
completely and securely assembled. Be  
sure that the saw chain stops moving  
when the throttle control trigger is  
released.  
3. Always use caution when handling fuel.  
Wipe up all spills and then move the  
chain saw at least ten(10) feet(three(3)  
m) from the fueling point before starting  
the engine.  
3a) Eliminate all sources of sparks or  
flame (ie. smoking, open flames, or  
work that can cause sparks) in the  
areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or  
stored.  
11. All chain saw service, other than the  
items listed in the Operator’s Manual,  
should be performed by competent chain  
saw service personnel. (e.g., if improper  
tools are used to remove the flywheel, or  
if an improper tool is used to hold the  
flywheel in order to remove the clutch,  
structural damage to the flywheel could  
occur which could subsequently cause  
the flywheel to disintegrate).  
3b) Do not smoke while handling fuel or  
while operating the chain saw.  
4. Do not allow other persons to be near  
the chain saw when starting the engine  
or cutting a wood. Keep bystanders and  
animals out of the work area. Children,  
pets, and bystanders should be a  
minimum of thirty(30) feet away when  
you start or operate the chain saw.  
12. Always shut off the engine before setting  
it down.  
13. Use extreme caution when cutting small  
size brush and saplings because slender  
material may catch the saw chain and be  
whipped toward you or pull you off  
balance.  
5. Never start cutting until you have a clear  
work area, secure footing, and planned  
retreat path from the falling tree.  
6. Always hold the chain saw firmly with  
both hands when the engine is running.  
Use a firm grip with thumb and fingers  
encircling the chain saw handles.  
14. When cutting a limb that is under  
tension, be alert for spring back so that  
you will not be struck when the tension in  
the wood fibers is released.  
7. Keep all parts of your body away from  
the saw chain when the engine is  
running.  
15. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of  
oil or fuel mixture.

4. For safe operation  
16. Operate the chain saw only in well  
ventilated areas. Never start or run the  
engine inside a closed room or building.  
Exhaust fumes contain dangerous  
carbon monoxide.  
19. When transporting your chain saw, make  
sure the appropriate guide bar scabbard  
is in place.  
20. This chain saw is equipped with a spark  
arrester built-in muffler. Periodically  
check the arrester to keep it in good  
order.  
17. Do not operate a chain saw in a tree  
unless specially trained to do so.  
18. Guard against kickback. Kickback is the  
upward motion of the guide bar which  
occurs when the saw chain at the nose  
of the guide bar contacts an object.  
Kickback can lead to dangerous loss of  
control of the chain saw.  
KICKBACK SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR  
CHAIN SAW USERS  
– WARNING –  
Kickback may occur when the nose or tip of the guide bar touches an object, or when the  
wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Tip contact in some cases may  
cause a lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking the guide bar up and back towards the  
operator. Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar  
rapidly back towards the operator. Either of these reactions may cause you to lose  
control of the saw which could result in serious personal injury.  
Do not rely exclusively on the safety devices built into your saw. As a chain saw user you  
should take several steps to keep cutting jobs free from accident or injury.  
(1) With a basic understanding of kickback you can reduce or eliminate the element of  
surprise. Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.  
(2) Keep a good grip on the saw with both hands, the right hand on the rear handle, and  
the left hand on the front handle, when the engine is running. Use a firm grip with  
thumbs and fingers encircling the chain saw handles. A firm grip will help you reduce  
kickback and maintain control of the saw. Don’t let go.  
(3) Make certain that the area in which you’re cutting is free from obstructions. Do not let  
the nose of the guide bar contact a log, branch, or any other obstruction which could  
be hit while you are operating the saw.  
(4) Cut at high engine speeds.  
(5) Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.  
(6) Follow manufacturers sharpening and maintenance instructions for saw chain.  
(7) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the  
equivalent.

hook completely at the rear end of the cover. (SE4)  
SE3  
SE4  
SE5  
4. While holding up the tip of the bar, adjust the  
chain tension by turning the tensioner screw until  
the tie straps just touch the bottom side of the  
bar rail. (SE5)  
5. Keep holding the guide bar up, tighten the  
mounting nut firmly with the attached socket  
wrench.  
6. Rotate the saw chain by hand, wearing a  
protective glove, to see if it turns smoothly  
without noticeable gap between the tie straps  
and the guide bar.  
NOTE  
A new chain will expand its length in the beginning  
of use. Check and readjust the tension frequently  
as a loose chain can easily derail or cause rapid  
wear of itself and the guide bar.

• Exhaust emission are controlled by the  
fundamental engine parameters and  
components (eq., carburation, ignition  
timing and port timing) without  
addition of any major hardware or the  
introduction of an inert material during  
combustion.  
• These engines are certified to operate on  
unleaded gasoline.  
• Make sure to use gasoline with a  
minimum octane number of 89 RON  
(USA/Canada: 87AL)  
• If you use a gasoline of a lower octane  
value than prescribed, there is a danger  
that the engine temperature may rise and  
an engine problem such as piston seizing  
may consequently occur.  
• The RedMax engines are lubricated by oil  
specially formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle  
gasoline engine use. If RedMax oil is not  
available, use an anti-oxidant added  
quality oil expressly labeled for air-cooled  
2-cycle engine use. (JASO FC GRADE  
OIL or ISO EGC GRADE)  
• Do not use BIA or TCW (2-stroke water-  
cooling type) mixed oil.  
• Unleaded gasoline is recommended to  
reduce the contamination of the air for the  
sake of your health and the environment.  
• Poor quality gasolines or oils may damage  
sealing rings, fuel lines or fuel tank of the  
engine.  
HOW TO MIX FUEL  
IMPORTANT  
Pay attention to agitation.  
1. Measure out the quantities of gasoline  
and oil to be mixed.  
2. Put some of the gasoline into a clean,  
approved fuel container.  
3. Pour in all of the oil and agitate well.  
4. Pour In the rest of gasoline and agitate  
8   
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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. In the case of storing the product for a  
long period of time, clean the fuel tank  
after rendering it empty. Next, activate the  
engine and empty the carburetor of the  
composite fuel.  
6. In the case of scrapping the used mixed  
oil container, scrap it only at an authorized  
repository site.  
5. Put a clear indication on the outside of the  
container to avoid mixing up with gasoline  
or other containers.  
NOTE  
6. Indicate the contents on outside of  
container for easy identification.  
As lot details of quality assurance, read the  
description in the section Limited Warranty  
carefully. Moreover, normal wear and  
change in product with no functional  
influence are not covered by the warranty.  
Also, be careful that, if the usage in the  
instruction manual is not observed as to the  
mixed gasoline, etc. described therein, it  
may not be covered by the warranty.

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. When  
the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not  
attempt to pull it out by force, but use a wedge or  
a lever to open the cut.  
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK  
• This saw is equipped with a special “low  
kickback” chain that greatly reduces the severty  
of kickback should it occur.  
• The saw chain has been tested in accordance  
with American National Standard Safety  
Specifications for gasoline powered chain saw  
(ANSI B175.1 1985) as having an acceptable  
low kickback level. On this saw never use any  
chain other than those recommended on page  
18 of this manual, or which is not designated as  
meeting the ANSI B175.1 kickback levels on this  
saw.  
• Low kickback saw chains are chains which have  
met the kickback requirements of ANSI B175.1  
when tested on the representative samples of  
chain saws below 3.8 C.I.D. specified in ANSI  
B175.1.  
• The guide bar supplied with this saw has an  
under 1.2 inch radius sprocket nose which  
produces a specific kickback energy. Never use  
a bar with a larger nose radius. Use only those  
recommended on page 18.  
• The length of bars has a great effect on  
kickback. Use only those length as specified on  
page 18.  
• This saw is also equipped with a chain brake  
that will stop the chain in the event of kickback if  
operating properly. You must check the chain  
brake operation before each usage by running  
the saw at full throttle for 1 or 2 seconds and  
pushing the front hand guard forward. The chain

8. Sawing  
should stop immediately with the engine  
at full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or  
does not stop then replace the brake band  
and clutch drum before use.  
SA1  
• It is extremely important that the chain  
brake be checked for proper operation  
before each use and that the chain be  
sharp in order to maintain the kickback  
safety level of this saw. Removal of the  
safety devices, inadequate maintenance,  
or incorrect replacement of the bar or  
chain may increase the risk of serious  
personal injury due to kickback. (SA1)  
FELLING A TREE (SA2)  
WARNING  
When you fell a tree, be sure to warn your  
neighboring workers of the danger.  
SA2  
1. Decide the felling direction considering the  
wind, Iean of the tree, location of heavy  
branches, ease of job after felling, and  
other factors .  
2. While clearing the area around the tree,  
arrange a good foothold and retreat path.  
3. Make a notch cut one-third of the way into  
the tree on the felling side.  
4. Make a felling cut from the opposite side  
of the notch and at a level slightly higher  
than the bottom of the notch.  
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.
