Before using a new chain saw
Important
•
Please read this manual carefully.
IMPORTANT!
•
Check that the cutting equipment is correctly fitted
and adjusted. See instructions under the heading
Assembly.
The machine is only designed for cutting wood.
You should only use the saw with the bar and chain
combinations we recommend in the chapter Technical
data.
•
•
•
Refuel and start the chain saw. See the instructions
under the headings Fuel Handling and Starting and
Stopping.
Never use the machine if you are fatigued, while under
the influence of alcohol or drugs, medication or anything
that could affect your vision, alertness, coordination or
judgement.
Do not use the chain saw until sufficient chain oil has
reached the chain. See instructions under the
heading Lubricating cutting equipment.
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the heading Personal protective equipment.
Long-term exposure to noise can result in permanent

accessories. Non-authorized
modifications and/or accessories can
result in serious personal injury or the
death of the operator or others.Your
warranty may not cover damage or
liability caused by the use of non-
authorized accessories or replacement
parts.
Never use any accessories other than those
recommended in this manual. See instructions under
the headings Cutting equipment and Technical data.
CAUTION! Always wear protective glasses or a face
visor to reduce the risk of injury from thrown objects. A
chain saw is capable of throwing objects, such as wood
chips, small pieces of wood, etc, at great force.This can
result in serious injury, especially to the eyes.
WARNING! A chain saw is a dangerous
tool if used carelessly or incorrectly and
!
can cause serious, even fatal injuries. It
is very important that you read and
understand the contents of this
operator’s manual.
WARNING! Running an engine in a
confined or badly ventilated area can
result in death due to asphyxiation or
carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING! The inside of the muffler
contain chemicals that may be
carcinogenic. Avoid contact with these
elements in the event of a damaged
muffler.
WARNING! Faulty cutting equipment or
the wrong combination of bar and saw
chain increases the risk of kickback!
Only use the bar/saw chain combinations
we recommend, and follow the filing
instructions. See instructions under the
heading Technical data.
!
WARNING! Long term inhalation of the
engine’s exhaust fumes, chain oil mist
and dust from sawdust can represent a
health risk.
!
Always use common sense
It is not possible to cover every conceivable situation you
can face when using a chain saw. Always exercise care
and use your common sense. Avoid all situations which
you consider to be beyond your capability. If you still feel
uncertain about operating procedures after reading these
instructions, you should consult an expert before
continuing. Do not hesitate to contact your dealer or us if
you have any questions about the use of the chain saw.
We will willingly be of service and provide you with advice

Machine s safety equipment
In this section the machine’s safety features and their
function are explained. For inspection and maintenance
see instructions under the heading Checking, maintaining
and servicing chain saw safety equipment. See
instructions under the heading, What is what?, to find
where these parts are located on your machine.
Work is constantly in progress to improve the design and
technology - improvements that increase your safety and
efficiency. Visit your dealer regularly to see whether you
can benefit from new features that have been introduced.
The life span of the machine can be reduced and the risk
of accidents can increase if machine maintenance is not
carried out correctly and if service and/or repairs are not

equipment must be inspected and
maintained. See instructions under the
heading Checking, maintaining and
servicing chain saw safety equipment. If
your machine does not pass all the
checks, take the saw to a servicing
dealer for repair.
Chain brake and front hand guard
Your chain saw is equipped with a chain brake that is
designed to stop the chain if you get a kickback.The chain
brake reduces the risk of accidents, but only you can
prevent them.
Take care when using your saw and make sure the
kickback zone of the bar never touches any object.

The chain brake (A) can either be activated manually
(by your left hand) or automatically by the inertia
release mechanism.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
•
The brake is applied when the front hand guard (B) is
pushed forwards.
•
To release the chain brake pull the front hand guard
backwards, towards the front handle.
This movement activates a spring-loaded mechanism
that tightens the brake band (C) around the engine
drive system (D) (clutch drum).
•
Kickback can be very sudden and violent. Most
kickbacks are minor and do not always activate the
chain brake. If this happens you should hold the chain
saw firmly and not let go.
•
The front hand guard is not designed solely to activate
the chain brake. Another important feature is that it
reduces the risk of your left hand hitting the chain if
you lose grip of the front handle.
•
The way the chain brake is activated, either manually
or automatically by the inertia release mechanism,
depends on the force of the kickback and the position
of the chain saw in relation to the object that the
kickback zone of the bar strikes.
If you get a violent kickback while the kickback zone of
the bar is farthest away from you the chain brake is
designed to be activated by the inertia in the kickback
direction.
•
The chain brake must be engaged when the chain
saw is started to prevent the saw chain from rotating.
•
Use the chain brake as a ”parking brake” when
starting and when moving over short distances, to
reduce the risk of moving chain accidentally hitting
your leg or anyone or anything close by.
If the kickback is less violent or the kickback zone of
the bar is closer to you the chain brake is designed to
be activated manually by the movement of your left
hand.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
In the felling position the left hand is in a position that
Throttle lockout
makes manual activation of the chain brake
impossible. With this type of grip, that is when the left
hand is placed so that it cannot affect the movement
of the front hand guard, the chain brake can only be
activated by the inertia action.
The throttle lockout is designed to prevent accidental
operation of the throttle control. When you press the lock
(A) (i.e.when you grasp the handle) it releases the throttle
control (B). When you release the handle the throttle
control and the throttle lockout both move back to their
original positions. This arrangement means that the
throttle control is automatically locked at the idle setting.
Will my hand always activate the chain
brake during a kickback?
No. It takes a certain force to move the hand guard
forward. If your hand only lightly touches the front guard
or slips over it, the force may not be enough to trigger the
chain brake.You should also maintain a firm grip of the
chain saw handles while working. If you do and
experience a kickback, your hand may never leave the
front handle and will not activate the chain brake, or the
chain brake will only activate after the saw has swung
around a considerable distance. In such instances, the
chain brake might not have enough time to stop the saw
chain before it touches you.
Chain catcher
The chain catcher is designed to catch the chain if it
snaps or jumps off.This should not happen if the chain is
properly tensioned (see instructions under the heading
Assembly) and if the bar and chain are properly serviced
and maintained (see instructions under the heading
General working instructions).
There are also certain positions in which your hand
cannot reach the front hand guard to activate the chain
brake; for example, when the saw chain is held in felling
position.
Will my inetria activated chain brake
always activate during kickback in the
event of a kickback?
Right hand guard
No. First your brake must be in working order.Testing the
brake is simple, see instructions under the heading
Checking, maintaining and servicing chain saw safety
equipment.We recommend you do before you begin each
work session. Second the kickback must be strong
enough to activate the chain brake. If the chain brake is
too sensitive it would activate all the time which would be
a nuisance.
Apart from protecting your hand if the chain jumps or
snaps, the right hand guard stops branches and twigs
from interfering with your grip on the rear handle.
Will my chain brake always protect me
from injury in the event of a kickback?
No. First, the chain brake must be in working order to
provide the intended protection. Second, it must be
activated during the kickback as described above to stop
the saw chain.Third, the chain brake may be activated but
if the bar is too close to you the brake might not have
enough time to slow down and stop the chain before the
chain saw hits you.
Vibration damping system
Your machine is equipped with a vibration damping
system that is designed to reduce vibration and make
operation easier.
Only you and proper working technique can eliminate
kickback and its danger.

equipped with an approved type of spark arrestor screen.
CAUTION! The muffler gets very hot during and after
use.This also applies during idling. Be aware of the fire
hazard, especially when working near flammable
substances and/or vapours.
Cutting hardwoods (most broadleaf trees) creates more
vibration than cutting softwoods (most conifers). Cutting
with cutting equipment that is blunt or faulty (wrong type
or badly sharpened) will increase the vibration level.
WARNING! Never use a saw without a
muffler, or with a damaged muffler. A
damaged muffler may substantially
increase the noise level and the fire
hazard. Keep fire fighting equipment
handy. If a spark arrestor screen is
required in your area, never use the saw
without or with a broken spark arrestor
screen.
WARNING! Overexposure to vibration
can lead to circulatory damage or nerve

The muffler is designed to keep noise levels to a minimum
and to direct exhaust fumes away from the user.
WARNING! The exhaust fumes from the
engine are hot and may contain sparks
which can start a fire. Never start the
machine indoors or near combustible
material!
•
Maintain the correct depth gauge setting! Follow
our instructions and use the recommended depth
gauge clearance. Too large a clearance increases
the risk of kickback.

Sharpening your chain and adjusting
depth gauge setting
General information on sharpening cutting teeth
•
Never use a blunt chain. When the chain is blunt you
have to exert more pressure to force the bar through
the wood and the chips will be very small. If the chain
is very blunt it will produce wood powder and no chips
or shavings.
See instructions under the heading Technical data for
information about sharpening your chain.
•
A sharp chain eats its way through the wood and
produces long, thick chips or shavings.
WARNING! Departure from the
sharpening instructions considerably
increases the risk of kickback.
!
Sharpening cutting teeth
To sharpen cutting teeth you will need a round file and a
file gauge. See instructions under the heading Technical
data for information on the size of file and gauge that are
recommended for the chain fitted to your chain saw.
•
The cutting part of the chain is called the cutter and
consists of a cutting tooth (A) and the depth gauge
(B). The cutters cutting depth is determined by the
difference in height between the two (depth gauge
setting).
•
•
Check that the chain is correctly tensioned. A slack
chain will move sideways, making it more difficult to
sharpen correctly.
When you sharpen a cutting tooth there are four important
factors to remember.
1
Filing angle
Always file cutting teeth from the inside face. Reduce
the pressure on the return stroke. File all the teeth on
one side first, then turn the chain saw and file the teeth
on the other side.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
File all the teeth to the same length. When the length
of the cutting teeth is reduced to 0.16 inch (4 mm) the
chain is worn out and should be replaced.
Tensioning the chain
WARNING! A slack chain may jump off
the bar and cause serious or even fatal
injury.
!
General advice on adjusting depth gauge setting
The more you use a chain the longer it becomes. It is
therefore important to adjust the chain regularly to take up
the slack.
•
When you sharpen the cutting tooth (A) the depth
gauge setting (C) will decrease. To maintain optimal
cutting performance the depth gauge (B) has to be
filed down to achieve the recommended depth gauge
setting. See instructions under the heading Technical
data to find the correct depth gauge setting for your
particular chain.
Check the chain tension every time you refuel. NOTE! A
new chain has a running-in period during which you
should check the tension more frequently.
Tension the chain as tightly as possible, but not so tight
that you cannot pull it round freely by hand.
WARNING! The risk of kickback is
increased if the depth gauge setting is
too large!
!
•
•
Loosen the bar nuts that hold the clutch cover/chain
brake. Use the combination spanner.Then tighten the
bar nuts by hand as tight as you can.
Adjustment of depth gauge setting
•
•
The cutting teeth should be newly sharpened before
adjusting the depth gauge setting. We recommend
that you adjust the depth gauge setting every third
time you sharpen the cutting teeth. NOTE! This
recommendation assumes that the length of the
cutting teeth is not reduced excessively.
Raise the tip of the bar and stretch the chain by
tightening the chain tensioning screw using the
combination spanner. Tighten the chain until it does
not sag from the underside of the bar.
You will need a flat file and a depth gauge tool. We
recommend that you use our depth gauge tool to
acheive the correct depth gauge setting and bevel for
the depth gauge.
•
Use the combination spanner to tighten the bar nuts
while lifting the tip of the bar at the same time. Check
that you can pull the chain round freely by hand and
that it does not sag from the underside of the bar.
•
Place the depth gauge tool over the chain. Detailed
information regarding the use of the depth gauge tool,
will be found on the package for the depth gauge tool.
Use the flat file to file off the tip of the depth gauge that
protrudes through the depth gauge tool. The depth
gauge setting is correct when you no longer feel
resistance as you draw the file along the depth gauge
tool.
The position of the chain tensioning screw on our chain
saws varies from model to model. See instructions under
the heading What is what? to find out where it is on your
model.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Checking chain lubrication
Lubricating cutting equipment
•
Check the chain lubrication each time you refuel. See
instructions under the heading Lubricating the bar tip
sprocket.
WARNING! Poor lubrication of cutting
equipment may cause the chain to snap,
which could lead to serious, even fatal
injuries.
!
Aim the tip of the bar at a light coloured surface about
20 cm (8 inches) away. After 1 minute running at 3/4
throttle you should see a distinct line of oil on the light
surface.
Chain oil
Chain oil must demonstrate good adhesion to the chain
and also maintain its flow characteristics regardless of
whether it is warm summer or cold winter weather.
As a chain saw manufacturer we have developed an
optimal chain oil which has a vegetable oil base. We
recommend the use of our own oil for both maximum
chain life and to minimise environmental damage. If our
own chain oil is not available, standard chain oil is
recommended.
Never use waste oil! Using waste oil can be dangerous
to you and damage the machine and environment.
If the chain lubrication is not working:
•
Check that the oil channel in the bar is not obstructed.
Clean if necessary.
IMPORTANT! When using vegetable based saw chain
oil, dismantle and clean the groove in the bar and saw
chain before long-term storage.Otherwise there is a risk
of the saw chain oil oxidizing, which will result in the saw
chain becoming stiff and the bar tip sprocket jamming.
Filling with chain oil
•
All our chain saws have an automatic chain lubrication
system. On some models the oil flow is also
adjustable.
•
Check that the groove in the edge of the bar is clean.
Clean if necessary.
•
The saw chain oil tank and the fuel tank are designed
so that the fuel runs out before the saw chain oil.
•
Check that the bar tip sprocket turns freely and that
the lubricating hole in the tip sprocket is not blocked.
Clean and lubricate if necessary.
However, this safety feature requires that you use the
right sort of chain oil (if the oil is too thin it will run out
before the fuel), and that you adjust the carburetor as
recommended (a lean mixture may mean that the fuel
lasts longer than the oil) and that you also use the
recommended cutting equipment (a bar that is too
long will use more chain oil).
If the chain lubrication system is still not working after
carrying out the above checks and associated measures
you should contact your servicing dealer.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Chain drive sprocket
Bar
The clutch drum is fitted with one of the following drive
sprockets:
Check regularly:
•
•
Whether there are burrs on the edges of the bar.
Remove these with a file if necessary.
A
Spur sprocket (the chain sprocket is welded on the
drum)
B
Rim sprocket (replaceable)
Whether the groove in the bar has become badly
worn. Replace the bar if necessary.
Regularly check the degree of wear on the drive sprocket.
Replace if wear is excessive. Replace the drive sprocket
whenever you replace the chain.
•
Whether the tip of the bar is uneven or badly worn. If
a hollow forms on the underside of the bar tip this is
due to running with a slack chain.
Needle bearing lubrication
Both versions of sprockets have a needle bearing on the
drive shaft, which has to be greased regularly (once a
week).CAUTION! Use only high quality bearing grease or
engine oil.
•
To prolong the life of the bar you should turn it over
daily.
Checking wear on cutting equipment
WARNING! Most chain saw accidents
happen when the chain touches the
operator.
!
Wear personal protective equipment. See
instructions under the heading Personal
protective equipment.
Check the chain daily for:
Do not tackle any job that you feel you
are not adequately trained for. See
instructions under the headings
Personal protective equipment, How to
avoid kickback, Cutting equipment and
General working instructions.

′
heading Machine s safety equipment.
Replace the saw chain if it exhibits any of the points
above.
Use the recommended protective
equipment and check its condition. See
instructions under the heading General
working instructions.
We recommend you compare the existing chain with a
new chain to decide how badly the existing chain is worn.
When the length of the cutting teeth has worn down to
only 0.16 inch (4 mm) the chain must be replaced.
Check that all the chain saw safety
features are working. See instructions

ASSEMBLY
Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw
Fitting the bar and chain
clockwise using the combination spanner. The chain
should be tensioned until it does not sag from the
underside of the bar.
WARNING! Always wear gloves, when
working with the chain.
!
Check that the chain brake is in disengaged position by
moving the front hand guard towards the front handle.
The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from
the underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by
hand. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar nuts with the
combination spanner.
Remove the bar nuts and remove the clutch cover (chain
brake). Take off the transportation ring (A).
When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be
checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the
chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain
ensures good cutting performance and long life.
A
Fit the bar over the bar bolts. Place the bar in its rearmost
position. Place the chain over the drive sprocket locate it
in the groove on the bar. Begin on the top edge of the bar.
Note: If clutch cover is difficult to remove, replace bar
nuts, engage brake and rerelease (an audible click will be
heard if released properly).
Make sure that the edges of the cutting links are facing
forward on the top edge of the bar.
Fit the clutch cover and locate the chain adjuster pin in the
hole in the bar. Check that the drive links of the chain fit
correctly over the drive sprocket and that the chain is
correctly located in the groove in the bar. Tighten the bar
nuts finger tight.

•
•
Use good quality unleaded gasoline.
CAUTION! Engines equipped with catalytic
converters must be run on unleaded fuel
mixtures. Leaded gasoline will destroy the catalytic
converter and it will no longer serve its purpose. The
green fuel cap on saws fitted with catalytic converters
means that only unleaded gasoline can be used.
•
•
The lowest recommended octane grade is 87
((RON+MON)/2). If you run the engine on a lower
octane grade than 87 so-called knocking can occur.
This gives rise to a high engine temperature and
increased bearing load, which can result in serious
engine damage.
•
•
Always mix the gasoline and oil in a clean container
intended for fuel.
Always start by filling half the amount of the gasoline
to be used. Then add the entire amount of oil. Mix
(shake) the fuel mixture. Add the remaining amount of
gasoline.
When working with continuous high revs (e.g.limbing)
a higher octane is recommended.
Environment fuel
•
•
•
Mix (shake) the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling
the machine’s fuel tank.
Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a
time.
If the machine is not used for some time the fuel tank
should be emptied and cleaned.
JONSERED recommends the use of alkylate fuel or
environment fuel for four-stroke engines blended with
two-stroke oil as set out below. Note that carburetor
adjustment may be necessary when changing the type of
fuel (see the instructions under the heading Carburetor).
Running-in
Avoid running at a too high speed for extended periods
during the first 10 hours.
Chain oil
•
We recommend the use of special oil (chain oil) with
good adhesion characteristics.
Two-stroke oil
•
•
•
For best results and performance use JONSERED
two-stroke engine oil, which is specially formulated for
our air-cooled two stroke-engines.
Never use two-stroke oil intended for water-cooled
engines, sometimes referred to as outboard oil (rated
TCW).
Never use oil intended for four-stroke engines.
•
•
Never use waste oil. This results in damage to the oil
pump, the bar and the chain.
It is important to use oil of the right grade (suitable
viscosity range) to suit the air temperature.

FUEL HANDLING
•
•
In temperatures below 32°F (0°C) some oils become
too viscous.This can overload the oil pump and result
in damage to the oil pump components.
•
Move the machine at least 10 ft (3 m) from the
refuelling point before starting it.
Contact your service agent when choosing chain oil.
Fueling
WARNING! Taking the following
precautions, will lessen the risk of fire:
!
Do not smoke and do not place any hot
objects in the vicinity of fuel.
•
Never start the machine:
1
If you have spilled fuel or chain oil on the machine.
Wipe off the spillage and allow remaining fuel to
evaporate.
Always stop the engine and let it cool for
a few minutes before refuelling.
2
3
If you have spilled fuel on yourself or your clothes,
change your clothes.Wash any part of your body that
has come in contact with fuel. Use soap and water.
When refuelling, open the fuel cap slowly
so that any excess pressure is released
gently.
If the machine is leaking fuel. Check regularly for
leaks from the fuel cap and fuel lines.
Tighten the fuel cap carefully after
refuelling.
WARNING! Never use a machine with
visible damage to the spark plug guard
and ignition cable. A risk of sparking
arises, which can cause a fire.
Always move the machine away from the
refuelling area before starting.
!
Clean the area around the fuel cap. Clean the fuel and
chain oil tanks regularly. The fuel filter must be replaced
at least once a year. Contamination in the tanks causes
malfunction. Make sure the fuel is well mixed by shaking
the container before refuelling.The capacities of the chain
oil tank and fuel tank are carefully matched.You should
therefore always fill the chain oil tank and fuel tank at the
same time.
Transport and storage
•
Always store the chain saw and fuel so that there is no
risk of leakages or fumes coming into contact with
sparks or naked flames from electrical equipment,
electric motors, relays/switches, boilers and the like.
•
•
Always store fuel in an approved container designed
for that purpose.
For longer periods of storage or for transport of the
chain saw, the fuel and chain oil tanks should be
emptied.Ask where you can dispose of waste fuel and
chain oil at your local gas station.
•
The bar guard must always be fitted to the cutting
attachment when the machine is being transported or
in storage, in order to prevent accident contact with
the sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can cause
serious cuts to yourself or persons you bump into with
an exposed chain.
WARNING! Fuel and fuel vapor are highly
flammable.Take care when handling fuel
!
and chain oil. Be aware of the risks of
fire, explosion and those associated with
inhalation.
Long-term storage
Empty the fuel/oil tanks in a well ventilated area.Store the
fuel in approved cans in a safe place. Fit the bar guard.
Clean the machine. See instructions under the heading
Maintenance schedule.
Fuel safety
•
Never refuel the machine while the engine is running.
Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete
service is carried out before long-term storage.
•
Make sure there is plenty of ventilation when refuelling
or mixing fuel (gasoline and 2-stroke oil).

Check that all handles are free from oil.
Check that the anti vibration system works and is not
damaged.
2
Do not use the machine in bad weather, such as
dense fog, heavy rain, strong wind, intense cold, etc.
Working in bad weather is tiring and often brings
added risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable felling
direction, etc.

9
Check that the muffler is securely attached and not
damaged.
Check that all parts of the chain saw are tightened
correctly and that they are not damaged or missing.
3
Take great care when removing small branches and
avoid cutting bushes (i.e.cutting many small branches
at the same time). Small branches can be grabbed by
the chain and thrown back at you, causing serious
injury.
Check that the chain catcher is in place and not
damaged.
10 Check the chain tension.
General working instructions
IMPORTANT!
This section describes basic safety rules for using a
chain saw. This information is never a substitute for
professional skills and experience. If you get into a
situation where you feel unsafe, stop and seek expert
advice. Contact your chain saw dealer, service agent or
an experienced chain saw user. Do not attempt any task
that you are not sure you can handle!
4
Make sure you can move and stand safely. Check the
area around you for possible obstacles (roots, rocks,
branches, ditches, etc.) in case you have to move
suddenly. Take great care when working on sloping
ground.
Before using a chain saw you must understand the
effects of kickback and how to avoid them. See
instructions under the heading How to avoid kickback.
Before using a chain saw you must understand the
difference between cutting with the top and bottom
edges of the bar. See instructions under the headings
How to avoid kickback and Machine’s safety equipment.
Wear personal protective equipment. See instructions
under the heading Personal protective equipment.
5
Take great care when cutting a tree that is under
tension. A tree that is under tension may spring back
to its normal position before or after being cut. If you
position yourself incorrectly or make the cut in the
wrong place the tree may hit you or the machine and
cause you to lose control. Both situations can cause
serious personal injury.

WORKING TECHNIQUES
Have control over the workpiece. If the pieces you
intend to cut are small and light, they can jam in the
saw chain and be thrown towards you. Even if this
does not need to be a danger, you may be surprised
and lose control of the saw. Never saw stacked logs or
branches without first separating them. Only saw one
log or one piece at a time. Remove the cut pieces to
keep your working area safe.
6
Before moving your chain saw switch off the engine
and lock the chain using the chain brake. Carry the
chain saw with the bar and chain pointing backwards.
Fit a guard to the bar before transporting the chain
saw or carrying it for any distance.
7
When you put the chain saw on the ground, lock the
saw chain using the chain brake and ensure you have
a constant view of the machine. Switch the engine off
before leaving your chain saw for any length of time.
4
Never use the chain saw above shoulder height
and avoid cutting with the tip of the bar. Never use
the chain saw one-handed!
General rules
1
If you understand what kickback is and how it happens
then you can reduce or eliminate the element of
surprise. By being prepared you reduce the risk.
Kickback is usually quite mild, but it can sometimes be
very sudden and violent.
2
Always hold the chain saw firmly with your right hand
on the rear handle and your left hand on the front
handle. Wrap your fingers and thumbs around the
handles.You should use this grip whether you are
right-handed or left-handed. This grip minimizes the
effect of kickback and lets you keep the chain saw
under control. Do not let go of the handles!
5
In order to keep control of your saw, always maintain
a firm foothold. Never work on a ladder, in a tree or on
any other insecure support.
3
Most kickback accidents happen during limbing.Make
sure you are standing firmly and that there is nothing
in the way that might make you trip or lose your
balance.
Lack of concentration can lead to kickback if the
kickback zone of the bar accidentally touches a
branch, nearby tree or some other object.
6
Always use a fast cutting speed, i.e. full throttle.

avoid kickback.
bar, i.e. when cutting from the underside of the object.
This is known as cutting with a pushing chain. The
chain tries to push the chain saw back towards the
user. If the saw chain is jamming, the saw may be
pushed back at you.
Terms
Cutting = General term for cutting through wood.
Limbing = Cutting branches off a felled tree.
Splitting = When the object you are cutting breaks off
before the cut is complete.
There are five important factors you should consider
before making a cut:
1
Make sure the cutting equipment will not jam in the
cut.
8
Unless the user resists this pushing force there is a
risk that the chain saw will move so far backwards that
only the kickback zone of the bar is in contact with the
tree, which can lead to a kickback.
2
3
Make sure the object you are cutting will not split.
Cutting with the bottom edge of the bar, i.e. from the
top of the object downwards, is known as cutting with
a pulling chain. In this case the chain saw pulls itself
towards the tree and the front edge of the chain saw
body rests naturally on the trunk when cutting. Cutting
with a pulling chain gives the operator better control
over the chain saw and the position of the kickback
zone.
Make sure the chain will not strike the ground or any
other object during or after cutting.
4
Is there a risk of kickback?
9
Follow the instructions on sharpening and maintaining
your bar and chain. When you replace the bar and
chain use only combinations that are recommended
by us. See instructions under the headings Cutting
equipment and Technical data.
5
Do the conditions and surrounding terrain affect how
safely you can stand and move about?
Two factors decide whether the chain will jam or the object
that you are cutting will split: the first is how the object is
supported before and after cutting, and the second is
whether it is in tension.
Basic cutting technique
In most cases you can avoid these problems by cutting in
two stages; from the top and from the bottom.You need to
support the object so that it will not trap the chain or split
during cutting.
WARNING! Never use a chain saw by
holding it with one hand. A chain saw is
not safely controlled with one hand.
Always have a secure, firm grip around
the handles with both hands.
!
IMPORTANT! If the chain jams in the cut: stop the
engine! Don’t try to pull the chain saw free. If you do you
may be injured by the chain when the chain saw
suddenly breaks free.Use a lever to open up the cut and
free the chain saw.
General
•
•
Always use full throttle when cutting!
Reduce the speed to idle after every cut (running the
engine for too long at full throttle without any load, i.e.
without any resistance from the chain during cutting,
can lead to serious engine damage).
The following instructions describe how to handle the
common situations you are likely to encounter when using
a chain saw.

When limbing thick branches you should use the same
approach as for cutting.
Cut difficult branches piece by piece.

3
Turn the log and finish the cut from the opposite side.
Cutting
The log is supported at one end. There is a high risk
that it will split.
WARNING! Never attempt to cut logs
while they are in a pile or when a couple
!
of logs are lying together. Such
procedures drastically increase the risk
of kickback which can result in a serious
or fatal injury.
Start by cutting from below (about 1/3 of the way through).
Finish by cutting from above so that the two cuts meet.
If you have a pile of logs, each log you attempt to cut
should be removed from the pile, placed on a saw horse
or runners and cut individually.
Remove the cut pieces from the cutting area. By leaving
them in the cutting area, you increase the risk for
inadvertently getting a kickback, as well as increasing the
risk of losing your balance while working.
The log is supported at both ends. There is a high risk
that the chain will jam.
Start by cutting from above (about 1/3 of the way through).
Finish by cutting from below so that the two cuts meet.
The log is lying on the ground. There is little risk of the
chain jamming or the object splitting. However there is a
risk that the chain will touch the ground when you finish
the cut.
Cut all the way through the log from above. Avoid letting
the chain touch the ground as you finish the cut. Maintain
full throttle but be prepared for what might happen.

tree. It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and
there is high accident risk. See instructions under the
heading Freeing a tree that has fallen badly.
IMPORTANT! It takes a lot of experience to fell a tree.
Inexperienced users of chain saws should not fell trees.
Do not attempt any task beyond your experience level!
Safe distance
The safe distance between a tree that is to be felled and
anyone else working nearby is at least 2 1/2 tree lengths.
Make sure that no-one else is in this ”risk zone” before or
during felling.
IMPORTANT! During critical felling operations, hearing
protectors should be lifted immediately when sawing is
completed so that sounds and warning signals can be
heard.
Felling direction
Clearing the trunk and preparing your retreat
The aim is to fell the tree in a position where you can limb
and cross-cut the log as easily as possible.You want it to
fall in a location where you can stand and move about
safely.
Delimb the stem up to shoulder height. It is safer to work
from the top down and to have the tree between you and
the saw.
Once you have decided which way you want the tree to fall
you must judge which way the tree would fall naturally.
Several factors affect this:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Lean of the tree
Bend
Wind direction
Arrangement of branches
Weight of snow
Obstacles within the reach of the tree: for example,
other trees, power lines, roads and buildings.
Look for signs of damage and rot in the stem, this
makes it more probably that the tree will break and
start to fall before you expect it to.
Remove any undergrowth from the base of the tree and
check the area for obstacles (stones, branches, holes,
etc.) so that you have a clear path of retreat when the tree
starts to fall.Your path of retreat should be roughly 135
degrees away from the intended felling direction.
•
Danger zone
Felling direction
Retreat path
Danger zone
You may find you are forced to let the tree fall in its natural
direction because it is impossible or dangerous to try to
make it fall in the direction you first intended.
Danger zone
Another very important factor, which does not affect the
felling direction but does affect your safety, is to make sure
the tree has no damaged or dead branches that might
break off and hit you during felling.

WORKING TECHNIQUES
Felling
Felling cut
The felling cut is made from the opposite side of the tree
and it must be perfectly horizontal. Stand on the left side
of the tree and cut on the pull stroke.
WARNING! Unless you have special
training we advise you not to fell trees
with a diameter larger than the bar length
of your saw!
!
Make the felling cut about 1.5-2 inches (3-5 cm) above the
bottom directional cut.
Felling is done using three cuts. First you make the
directional cuts, which consist of the top cut and the
bottom cut, then you finish with the felling cut. By placing
these cuts correctly you can control the felling direction
very accurately.
Directional cuts
To make the directional cut you begin with the top cut.The
saw’s front handle (1) is used as felling direction guide.
Aim along the front handle toward a goal further forward
in the terrain, where you would like the tree to fall (2).
Stand on the right-hand side of the tree, behind the saw,
and cut with a pull stroke.
Finish the felling cut parallel with the directional cut line so
that the distance between them is at least 1/10 of the
trunk diameter.The uncut section of the trunk is called the
felling hinge.
Next make the bottom cut so that it finishes exactly at the
end of the top cut.
The felling hinge controls the direction that the tree falls in.
The directional cuts should run 1/4 of the diameter
through the trunk and the angle between the top cut and
bottom cut should be 45°.
All control over the felling direction is lost if the felling
hinge is too narrow or non-existent, or if the directional
cuts and felling cut are badly placed.
The line where the two cuts meet is called the directional
cut line. This line should be perfectly horizontal and at
right angles (90°) to the chosen felling direction.
When the felling cut and directional cut are complete the
tree should start to fall by itself or with the aid of a felling
wedge or breaking bar.

Cutting trees and branches that are in tension
There are methods for felling trees with a diameter larger
than the bar length. However these methods involve a
much greater risk that the kickback zone of the bar will
come into contact with the tree.
Preparations:Work out which side is in tension and where
the point of maximum tension is (i.e. where it would break
if it was bent even more).
Decide which is the safest way to release the tension and
whether you are able to do it safely. In complicated
situations the only safe method is to put aside your chain
saw and use a winch.
Freeing a tree that has fallen badly
General advice:
Freeing a ”trapped tree”
Position yourself so that you will be clear of the tree or
branch when the tension is released.
It is very dangerous to remove a trapped tree and there is
high accident risk.
Never try to fell the tree that is trapped.
Make one or more cuts at or near the point of maximum
tension. Make as many cuts of sufficient depth as
necessary to reduce the tension and make the tree or
branch break at the point of maximum tension.
Never cut straight through a tree or branch that is in
tension!
Never work in the risk zone of the hanging trapped tree.
If you must cut across tree/limb, make two to three cuts,
one inch apart, one to two inches deep.
Continue to cut deeper until tree/limb bends and tension
is released.
Cut tree/limb from outside the bend, after tension has
been released.

this happens when the chain is moving it
can cause very serious, even fatal
injuries. It is vital you understand what
causes kickback and that you can avoid
it by taking care and using the right
working technique.
!
What is kickback?
Make sure that you can stand and move about safely.
Work on the left side of the trunk. Work as close as
possible to the chain saw for maximum control.If possible,
let the weight of the chain saw rest on the trunk.
The word kickback is used to describe the sudden
reaction that causes the chain saw and bar to jump off an
object when the upper quadrant of the tip of the bar,
known as the kickback zone, touches an object.
Kickback always occurs in the cutting plane of the bar.
Normally the chain saw and bar are thrown backwards
and upwards towards the user. However, the chain saw
may move in a different direction depending on the way it
was being used when the kickback zone of the bar
touched the object.
Keep the trunk between you and the chain saw as you
move along the trunk.
Cutting the trunk into logs
See instructions under the heading Basic cutting
technique.
Kickback only occurs if the kickback zone of the bar
touches an object.

re-adjust, turn the T-screw clockwise while the engine is
running, until the chain starts to rotate.Then turn counter-
clockwise until the chain stops. A correctly adjusted idle
speed setting occurs when the engine runs smoothly in
every position. It should also be good margin to the rpm
when the chain starts to rotate.

The L and H-jets are used to adjust the supply of fuel
to match the rate that air is admitted, which is
controlled with the throttle. If they are screwed
clockwise the air/fuel ratio becomes leaner (less fuel)
and if they are turned anti-clockwise the ratio
becomes richer (more fuel). A lean mixture gives a
higher engine speed and a rich mixture gives a lower

MAINTENANCE
Checking the front hand guard
High speed jet H
At the factory the engine is adjusted at sea level.
When working at a high altitude or in different
weather conditions, temperatures and atmospheric
humidity, it may be necessary to make minor
adjustments to the high speed jet.
Make sure the front hand guard is not damaged and that
there are no visible defects such as cracks.
CAUTION! If the high speed jet is screwed in too far,
it may damage the piston/cylinder.
When test run at the factory, the high speed jet is set so
that the engine satisfies the applicable legal requirements
at the same time as achieving maximum performance.
The carburetor’s high speed jet is then locked using a
limiter cap in the fully screwed out position.The limiter cap
limits the potential to adjust the high speed jet to at most
half a turn.
Move the front hand guard forwards and back to make
sure it moves freely and that it is securely anchored to the
clutch cover.
Correctly adjusted carburetor
When the carburetor is correctly adjusted the machine
accelerates without hesitation and the machine 4-cycles
a little at max. speed. It is also important that the chain
does not rotate at idle. If the L-jet is set too lean it may
cause starting difficulties and poor acceleration. If the H-
jet is set too lean the machine will have less power, poor
acceleration and could suffer damage to the engine.
Checking the inertia brake release
Checking, maintaining and
servicing chain saw safety
equipment
With the engine turned off, hold the chain saw over a
stump or other firm object. Let go of the front handle so
that the bar drops towards the stump as the chain saw
rotates around the rear handle.
Note! All servicing and repair work on the machine
requires special training. This is especially true of the
machine′s safety equipment.If your machine fails any of
the checks described below we recommend you to
contact our servicing dealer.
Chain brake and front hand guard
Checking brake band wear
When the bar hits the stump the brake should be
applied.
Brush off any wood dust, resin and dirt from the chain
brake and clutch drum. Dirt and wear can impair
operation of the brake.
Regularly check that the brake band is at least 0.024 inch
(0.6 mm) thick at its thinnest point.

MAINTENANCE
Checking the brake trigger
•
Check that the throttle control and throttle lockout
move freely and that the return springs work properly.
Place the chain saw on firm ground and start it.Make sure
the chain does not touch the ground or any other object.
See the instructions under the heading Start and stop.
•
Start the chain saw and apply full throttle. Release the
throttle control and check that the chain stops and
remains stationary. If the chain rotates when the
throttle control is in the idle position you should check
the carburetor idle adjustment.
Grasp the chain saw firmly, wrapping your fingers and
thumbs around the handles.
Chain catcher
Check that the chain catcher is not damaged and is firmly
attached to the body of the chain saw.
Apply full throttle and activate the chain brake by tilting
your left wrist forward onto the front hand guard. Do not
let go of the front handle. The chain should stop
immediately.
Right hand guard

or defective.
Stop switch
The muffler is designed to reduce the noise level and to
direct the exhaust gases away from the operator. The
exhaust gases are hot and can contain sparks, which may
cause fire if directed against dry and combustible
material.
Start the engine and make sure the engine stops when
you move the stop switch to the stop setting.
A muffler equipped with a catalytic converter significantly
reduces the amount of hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen
oxides (NO) and aldehydes in the exhaust fumes. Carbon
monoxide (CO), which is poisonous and odorless, is not
however reduced! Consequently, never work in an
enclosed or badly ventilated area. Good air circulation
should always prevail when working in snowy hollows,
ravines or in confined conditions.
Starter
Muffler
WARNING! When the recoil spring is
wound up in the starter housing it is
under tension and can, if handled
carelessly, pop out and cause personal
injury.
Never use a machine that has a faulty muffler.
Care must be exercised when replacing
the return spring or the starter cord.
Wear protective glasses and protective
gloves.
Changing a broken or worn starter cord
Regularly check that the muffler is securely attached to
the machine.
•
Loosen the screws that hold the starter against the
crankcase and remove the starter.
Some mufflers are equipped with a special spark arrestor
screen. If your machine has this type of muffler, you
should clean the screen at least once a week.This is best
done with a wire brush. A blocked screen will cause the
engine to overheat and may lead to serious damage.
Note! The screen must be replaced if it is damaged. If the
screen is blocked the machine will overheat and this will
cause damage to the cylinder and piston. Never use a

MAINTENANCE
The filter can be cleaned more thoroughly by washing it in
water and detergent.
Needle bearing lubrication
An air filter that has been in use for a long time cannot be
cleaned completely. The filter must therefore be replaced
with a new one at regular intervals. A damaged air filter
must always be replaced.
The clutch drum has a needle bearing on the output shaft.
This needle bearing must be lubricated regularly (once a
week).CAUTION! Use only high quality bearing grease or
engine oil. See instructions under the heading Cutting
equipment.
A JONSERED chain saw can be equipped with different
types of air filter according to working conditions, weather,
season, etc. Contact your dealer for advice.
Spark plug
Adjustment of the oil pump
The spark plug condition is influenced by:
The oil pump is adjustable. Adjustments are made by
turning the screw using a screwdriver or combination
spanner. The machine is supplied from the factory with
the screw set to position 2. Turning the screw clockwise
will reduce the oil flow and turning the screw anti-
clockwise will increase the oil flow.
•
•
Incorrect carburetor adjustment.
An incorrect fuel mixture (too much or incorrect type
of oil).
•
A dirty air filter.
These factors cause deposits on the spark plug
electrodes, which may result in operating problems and
starting difficulties.
If the machine is low on power, difficult to start or runs
poorly at idle speed: always check the spark plug first
before taking any further action. If the spark plug is dirty,
clean it and check that the electrode gap is 0.020 inch (0.5
mm). The spark plug should be replaced after about a
month in operation or earlier if necessary.

Cooling system
Winter use
Running problems can occur when using the machine in
the cold and snowy conditions caused by:
•
•
Too low engine temperature.
To keep the working temperature as low as possible the
machine is equipped with a cooling system.
Icing of the air filter and carburetor.
Special measures are therefore often required:
The cooling system consists of:
•
Partly mask the air inlet on the starter to increase the
working temperature of the engine.

Recommended original and replacement bar and chain combinations
Following is a list of recommended cutting equipment for the Jonsered chain saw models CS 2152 and CS 2153. The
combinations of power head, bar and chain have been tested and found to be in accordance with the kickback and
vibration requirements of ANSI B 175.1–2000.
The guide bar nose radius is determined by either the maximum number of teeth in the nose sprocket or the
corresponding maximum nose radius of a hard nose.
The following list is the chain saw manufacturers recommendations. There may be other combinations available, which
will also achieve kickback reduction.
As we are listing the maximum guide bar nose radius, you may use a guide bar with smaller nose radius than in our list.
For guide bars of the same length, all sprocket-nose guide bars of the same pitch and having the same number of
sprocket teeth may be considered to have equivalent kickback energy. A hard nose bar having the same length and nose
radius as a sprocket-nose bar may be considered to have equivalent or less kickback energy than the sprocket-nose bar.

AMERICAN STANDARD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Other safety precautions
Safety precautions for chain saw
users
(ANSI B 175.1-2000 Annex C)
WARNING! Do not operate a chain saw
with one hand! Serious injury to the
operator, helpers, bystanders or any
combination of these persons may result
from one-handed operation. A chain saw
is intended for two-handed use.
!
Kickback safety precautions
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.
!
Do not operate a chain saw when you are fatigued.
Use safety footwear; snug-fitting clothing, protective
gloves, and eye, hearing and head protection devices.
Tip contact in some cases may cause a
lightning fast reverse reaction, kicking
the guide bar up and back towards the
operator.
Use caution when handling fuel. Move the chain saw at
least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling point before starting
the engine.
Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when
starting or cutting with the chain saw. Keep bystanders
and animals out of the work area.
Pinching the saw chain along the top of
the guide bar may push the guide bar
rapidly back towards the operator.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area,
secure footing and a planned retreat path from the falling
tree.
Either of these reactions may cause you
to lose control of the saw which could
result in serious personal injury.
Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when
the engine is running.
Do not rely exclusively upon the safety
devices built into your saw. As a chain
saw user, you should take several steps
to keep your cutting jobs free from
accident or injury.
Before you start the engine, make sure that the saw chain
is not contacting anything.
Carry the chain saw with the engine stopped, the guide
bar and saw chain to the rear, and the muffler away from
your body.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce
or eliminate the element of surprise. Sudden surprise
contributes to accidents.
Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly
adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Be
sure that the saw chain stops moving when the throttle
control trigger is released.
Keep a good firm 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.
Shut off the engine before setting the chain saw down.
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.
When cutting a limb that is under tension be alert for
springback so that you will not be struck when the tension
in the wood fibers is released.
Make sure that the area in which you are cutting is free
from obstacles. Do not let the nose of the guide bar
contact a log, branch, or any other obstacle which could
be hit while you are operating the saw.
Keep handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture.
Operate the chain saw only in well-ventilated areas.
Cut at high engine speeds.
Do not operate a chain saw in a tree unless you have
been specifically trained to do so.
Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
Follow manufacturer’s sharpening and maintenance
instructions for the saw chain.
Do not operate a chain saw above shoulder height.
All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the
operator’s/owner’s safety and maintenance instructions,
should be performed by competent chain saw service
personnel. (For example, 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 and subsequently
cause the flywheel to burst.)
Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the
manufacturer or the equivalent.
When transporting your chain saw, use the appropriate
guide bar guard.
