Sears 316.35084 manual Starting/Stopping Instructions, Chain Brake Test, Chain Lubrication

STARTING/STOPPING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Activate the CHAIN BRAKE® slowly and

deliberately. Keep the chain from touching anything; don’t let the saw tip forward.

WARNING: If chain does not stop, turn engine off

and take your unit to the nearest Authorized Service Center for service.

CHAIN BRAKE TEST

1.Place saw on a clear, firm, flat surface.

2.With the chain brake pulled back to the disengaged position, start the engine.

3.Grasp the rear handle (A) with your right hand (Fig. 10).

4.With your left hand, hold the front handle (B) [not Chain Brake® lever (C)] firmly (Fig. 10).

5.Squeeze the throttle trigger to 1/3 throttle, then imm- ediately engage the Chain Brake® lever by pushing forward (C) (Fig. 10).

6.Chain should stop abruptly. When it does, immediately release the throttle/trigger.

7.If Chain Brake® functions properly, turn the engine off and return the Chain Brake® to the DISENGAGED position.

Chain Lubrication

Adequate lubrication of the saw chain is essential at all times to minimize friction with the guide bar. Never starve the bar and chain of oil. Running the saw with too little oil will decrease cutting efficiency, shorten saw chain life, cause rapid dulling of chain, and cause excessive wear of bar from overheating. Too little oil is evidenced by smoke, bar discoloration or pitch build-up.

Automatic Oiler

Your chain saw is equipped with an automatic gear driven oiler system. The oiler automatically delivers the proper amount of oil to the bar and chain. As the engine speed increases, so does the oil flow to the bar pad. The amount of oil flowing to the bar and chain may be changed by turning the adjustment screw (D) with a small slotted screwdriver as shown in Fig. 11. Turn the screw clockwise to DECREASE oil flow and counterclockwise to INCREASE the flow.
