TO INSTALL SAW CHAIN:
1. Spread chain out in a loop with cutting edges (A)
pointing CLOCKWISE around loop (Fig. 4A).
2. Slip the chain around the sprocket (B) behind the
clutch (C). Make sure the links fit between the sprock-
et teeth (Fig. 4B).
3. Guide the drive links into the groove (D) and around
the end of the bar (Fig. 4B).
NOTE: The saw chain may droop slightly on the lower part
of bar. This is normal.
4. Install the clutch cover and tighten the 2 screws.
Make sure the chain does not slip off of the bar. Install
the 2 nuts hand tight and follow tension adjustment
instructions in Section SAW CHAIN TENSION
ADJUSTMENT.
NOTE: The guide bar retaining nuts are installed only
hand tight at this point because saw chain adjustment is
required. Follow instructions in Section SAW CHAIN
TENSION ADJUSTMENT.
•SAW CHAIN TENSION ADJUSTMENT
Proper tension of saw chain is extremely important and
must be checked before starting, as well as during any
cutting operation.
Taking the time to make needed adjustments to the saw
chain will result in improved cutting performance and pro-
longed chain life.
TO ADJUST SAW CHAIN:
1. Hold nose of guide bar up and turn adjustment screw
(A) CLOCKWISE to increase chain tension. Turning
screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE will decrease amount
of tension on chain. Ensure the chain fits snugly all
the way around the guide bar (Fig. 5).
2. After making adjustment, and while still holding nose
of bar in the uppermost position, tighten the bar
retaining nuts securely. Chain has proper tension
when it has a snug fit all around and can be pulled
around by gloved hand.
NOTE: If chain is difficult to rotate on guide bar or if it
binds, too much tension has been applied. This requires
minor adjustment as follows:
A. Loosen the 2 bar retaining nuts so they are finger
tight. Decrease tension by turning the bar adjust-
ment screw COUNTERCLOCKWISE slowly. Move
chain back and forth on bar. Continue to adjust until
chain rotates freely, but fits snugly. Increase tension
by turning bar adjustment screw CLOCKWISE.
B. When saw chain has proper tension, hold nose of bar
in the uppermost position and tighten the 2 bar retain-
ing nuts securely.
• CHAIN BRAKE MECHANICAL TEST
Your chain saw is equipped with a Chain brake that
reduces possibility of injury due to kickback. The brake is
activated if pressure is applied against brake lever when,
as in the event of kickback, operator’s hand strikes the
lever. When the brake is actuated, chain movement stops
abruptly.
TO TEST CHAIN BRAKE:
1. The Chain brake is DISENGAGED (chain can move)
when BRAKE LEVER IS PULLED BACK AND
LOCKED (Fig. 7A).
2. The Chain brake is ENGAGED (chain is stopped)
when brake lever is in forward position. You should
not be able to move chain (Fig. 7B).
NOTE: The brake lever should snap into both positions. If
strong resistance is felt, or lever does not move into either
position, do not use your saw. Take it immediately to a pro-
fessional Service Center for repair.
WARNING: Always wear heavy duty gloves
when handling saw chain or making saw
chain adjustments.
CAUTION:A new saw chain stretches, requiring
adjustment after as few as 5 cuts. This is normal
with a new chain, and the interval between future
adjustments will lengthen quickly.
CAUTION: If saw chain is TOO LOOSE or TOO
TIGHT, the sprocket, bar, chain, and crankshaft
bearings will wear more rapidly. Study Fig. 6 for
information concerning correct cold tension (A),
correct warm tension (B), and as a guide for when
saw chain needs adjustment (C).
WARNING: The purpose of the chain brake is to
reduce the possibility of injury due to kickback;
however, it cannot provide the intended meas-
ure of protection if the saw is operated care-
lessly. Always test the chain brake before using
your saw and periodically while on the job.
• FUEL
Use regular grade unleaded gasoline mixed with Talon
40:1 custom 2-cycle engine oil for best results. Use mix-
ing ratios in Section FUEL MIXING TABLE.
• MIXING FUEL
Mix fuel with Talon brand 2 cycle oil in an approved con-
tainer. Use mixing table for correct ratio of fuel to oil.
Shake container to ensure thorough mix.
• FUEL AND LUBRICATION
• FUEL MIXING TABLE
• RECOMMENDED FUELS
Some conventional gasolines are being blended with oxy-
genates such as alcohol or an ether compound to meet
clean air standards.Your Talon engine is designed to oper-
ate satisfactorily on any gasoline intended for automotive
use including oxygenated gasolines.
• CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATION
Always refill the chain oil tank each time the fuel tank is
refilled. We recommend using Talon Chain, Bar and
Sprocket Oil, which contains additives to reduce friction
and wear and to assist in the prevention of pitch forma-
tion on the bar and chain.
• ENGINE PRE-START CHECKS
1. Fill the fuel tank (A) with correct fuel mixture (Fig. 8A).
2. Fill the oil tank (B) with correct chain and bar oil (Fig.
8A).
3. Be certain the chain brake is disengaged (C) before
starting unit (Fig. 8A).
•TO START ENGINE
The choke has 3 positions: RUN (A), HALF (B) and
CHOKE (C) (Fig. 9A).
1. Slide red STOP switch (D) up for starting (Fig. 9B).
2. Move the yellow choke lever (E) to (CHOKE) (Fig.
9C).
3. Push the primer bulb (F) 10 times (Fig. 9D).
4. Latch throttle advance: depress latch and hold (G)
squeeze throttle trigger (H) release trigger and then
the latch (Fig. 9E).
5. Place saw on a firm, flat surface. Hold saw firmly as
shown. Pull starter rapidly 4 times. Beware of mov-
ing chain! (Fig.9F)
6. Move yellow choke lever (E) to (HALF) (Fig. 9G).
7. Hold saw firmly and pull starter rapidly 4 times.
Engine should start (Fig. 9H).
8. Warm up for 10 seconds. Depress and release trig-
ger (I) for IDLE, then go to step 9 (Fig. 9I).
9. Move yellow choke lever (E) to (RUN) (Fig. 9J). If
engine failed to start, repeat these instructions.
FUEL AND LUBRICATION
WARNING:Never use straight gasoline in your
unit. This will cause permanent engine damage
and void the manufacturer’s warranty for that prod-
uct. Never use a fuel mixture that has been stored
for over 90 days.
WARNING: If 2-cycle lubricant other than Talon
Custom Lubricant is to be used, it must be a pre-
mium grade oil for 2-cycle air cooled engines
mixed at a 40:1 ratio. Do not use any 2-cycle oil
product with a recommended mixing ratio of
100:1. If insufficient lubrication is the cause of
engine damage, it voids the manufacturer’s engine
warranty for that occurrence.
WARNING: Lack of lubrication voids engine
warranty.
