ページを印刷するCorrect fuel mixture
is
one
of
the
most important points
in
operating
your
engine.
Follow
these instructions
carefully, and
DO NOT POUR
UN-
MIXED
GASOLINE OR
OIL
INTO
THE FUEL TANK.
Type
of
Oil
Use
SAE
#30
motor
oil
(non-deter-
gent), such
as
Mobiloil or
a
comparable
straight
mineral
oil.
A
detergent
oil
or
oil
containing
additives
is not
advised.
Type
of
Gasoline
A
good grade
of
regular
gasoline,
available at
your
local
filling
station,
is
recommended
for
use
in
your
Chain-
saw engine. High octane
or
Ieaded
fuels
offer no
advantages
and
ARE,
NOT
advised.
Mixing
Ratio
of Oil to
Gasoline
Thoroughly ntix
3/+
pint of
oil
with
each
gallon
of
gasoline.
This rich oil
mixture may
cause
difficulty with idl-
ing, but
it
is
necessary
to properly
wear
in
the various parts
of
the
engine.
Chain and Guide Bar
Lubrication
A
positive action
oil
pump
located
in
the upper portion
of
the fuel
tank
(See
Figure
No.
3)
provides
ample
Iubrication
to
the cutting chain
and
guide bar. FiU
this
oil
reservoir with
SAE #30 oil,
being
sure
to
keep
the
oil
level
in
the
reservoir
4bove the in-
take tube
of
the
oil
pump. When
the
reservoir
is
filled
and cap
replaced,
push the
oil
pump
plunger a couple
of
times
until
pressure
is
felt, or until
you
see
oil
appearing
on the
guide
bar
op-
posite
the
convenient
oil fitting in
the
reduction housing.
In
extremely
cold
weather,
or
when
cutting wood
which
contains
a lot of pitch,
sap
or
resin,
use
a
50-50 mixture
of
kerosene
and
oil in
the
oil
reservoir. This
will
pro-
vide
good
lubrication
as
well
as
keep-
ing the
guide
bar
g,roove
and
chain
comparatively
clean.
Be
sure
that the spike
bumper
(abutment
strut)
is
flush
against
the
sawing
log
to
keep
the
engine
unit from
being
pulled againsithe
log.
Do not
operate
your
Chainsaw
when
it
needs
repair.
Do not allow
the
saw
to run while
on a
cement
floor.
Do not run
saw
when
it
is dull or
improperly filed.
After
refueling, move
the
engine
a.
few feet away from the
fue-ling
site.
Keep Chainsaw clean
of
dust
and
inflammables,
and check
to
see
that
spark
plug
and electrical con-
nections
are
tight.
Your Clinton
Chainsaw
is well-built
for
maximum
safety and
efficiency, but
carelessness
in
operation
can
cause
accidents.
Read the following
sugges-
tions carefully,
and remember
them
as
you work with your
saw.
l.
Do not
start
the engine
in
a closed
room. Have ample ventilation
at
all
times.
2.
Do not touch the chain
when
the
epgine
is
running even
at a
slow
speed.
3.
Keep engine adjusted
to
an
idle
speed
which
stops
the chain
com-
pletely.
4.
Do not
move
the chain from
one
location
to
another
without first
stopping
the
engine.
Never Carry the
Chainsaw
from
Place
5.
Major
controls
on
your
Clinton
chainsaw
are
conveniently
grouped
around
the hand grip
assembly for
finger
tip
action.
You
will
flnd
Your
saw easy
to
manage once
you
associate
the following controls with their
loca-
tions
on the
saw.
(See
Figure No.
3).
THE
THROTTLE
CONTROL
Trigger-type, located
on
the
handle
grip. The
engine speed,
or
throttle
cpening,
is
increased
by
squeezing the
trigger upward into the
handle.
THE HIGH
SPEED
MIXTURE AD-
JUSTMENT
SCREW
Projects

ob-
tain
proper
fuel
mixture, make
the
engine
run
smoothly
and achieve
maxi-
mum
power.
THE IDLE FUEL MIXTURE
AD-
JUSTMENT SCREW
-
This
device
is
found
on
