1. 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. 9. Never start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and a planned retreat path from the falling tree.
2. Use safety footwear, snug fitting clothing and eye, hearing and head protection devices. Use the vibration-proof glove. 3. Keep the saw chain sharp and the saw, including the AV system, well maintained. A dull chain will increase cutting time, and pressing a dull chain through wood will increase the vibrations transmitted to your hands. A saw with loose components or with damaged or worn AV buffers will also tend to have higher vibration levels. 4. All the above mentioned precautions do not guarantee that you will not sustain whitefinger disease or carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, continual and regular users should monitor closely the condition of their hands and fingers. If any of the above symptoms appear, seek medical advice immediately. 5. Always use caution when handling fuel. Wipe up all spills and then move the chain saw at least 3 m from the fueling point before starting the engine. 6. Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame (i.e. smoking, open flames, or work that can cause sparks) in the areas where fuel is mixed, poured, or stored. 7. Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the chain saw. 8. Do not allow other persons to be near the chain saw when starting or cutting. Keep bystanders and animals out of the work area. Children, pets and bystanders should be a minimum of 10 m away when you start or operate the chain saw. GB-4

10. 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.
11. Keep all parts of your body away from the saw chain when the engine is running.
12. Before you start the engine, make sure the saw chain is not contacting anything. 13. 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. 14. Always inspect the chain saw before each use for worn, Ioose, or damaged 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. 15. All chain saw service, other than the items listed in the Owners 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
GZ400 which could subsequently cause the flywheel to disintegrate.) 16. Always shut off the engine before setting it down. 17. 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. 18. 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. 19. Never cut in high wind, bad weather, when visibility is poor or in very high or low temperatures. Always check the tree for dead branches which could fall during the felling operation. 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 Iose 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.
20. Keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil or fuel mixture. 21. 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. 22. Do not operate the chain saw in a tree unless specially trained to do so. 23. 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.

(3) Make certain that the area in which you are 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.
24. When transporting your chain saw, make sure the appropriate guide bar scabbard is in place.
(5) Do not overreach or cut above shoulder height.
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
(6) Follow the manufacturers sharpening and maintenance instructions for the saw chain. (7) Only use replacement bars and chains specified by the manufacturer or the equivalent. GB-5

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 itseif and the guide bar.

4. Fuel and Chain Oil

FUEL WARNING Gasoline is very flammable. Avoid smoking or bringing any flame or sparks near fuel. Make sure to stop the engine and allow it cool before refueling the unit. Select outdoor bare ground for fueling and move at least 3 m (10 ft) away from the fueling point before starting the engine. 4. Pour in the rest of gasoline and agitate 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. Put a clear indication on the outside of the container to avoid mixing up with gasoline or other containers. 6. Indicate the contents on outside of container for easy identification. FUELING THE UNIT 1. Untwist and remove the fuel cap. Rest the cap on a dustless place. 2. Put fuel into the fuel tank to 80% of the full capacity. 3. Fasten the fuel cap securely and wipe up any fuel spillage around the unit. WARNING 1. Select flat and bare ground for fueling. 2. Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from the fueling point before starting the engine. 3. Stop the engine before refueling the unit. At that time, be sure to sufficiently agitate the mixed gasoline in the container. FOR YOUR ENGINE LIFE, AVOID: 1. FUEL WITH NO OIL (RAW GASOLINE) It will cause severe damage to the internal engine parts very quickly. 2. GASOHOL It can cause deterioration of rubber and/ or plastic parts and disruption of engine lubrication. 3. OIL FOR 4-CYCLE ENGINE USE It can cause spark plug fouling, exhaust port blocking, or piston ring sticking. 4. Mixed fuels which have been left unused for a period of one month or more may clog the carburetor and result in the engine failing to operate properly. 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.

The Zenoah engines are lubricated by oil specially formulated for air-cooled 2-cycle gasoline engine use. If Zenoah 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.
RECOMMENDED MIXING RATIO GASOLINE 50 : OIL 1 (when using ZENOAH genuine oil) 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 89RON (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. 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 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.
Note: As for 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.
CHAIN OIL Use special chain saw oil or synthetic 2-stroke oil.
Note: Do not use wasted or regenerated oil that can cause damage to the oil pump.

5. Operating the Engine

It is very dangerous to run a chainsaw that mounts broken parts or lacks any parts. Before starting engine, make sure that all the parts including bar and chain are installed properly. 6. Push the choke knob to HALF CHOKE position. 7. Pull starter grip until engine runs.

Note: Allow the saw to run in this position 15~30 seconds, depending upon the temperature.
8. Push the choke knob in to the RUN position.

STARTING THE ENGINE

1. Fill fuel and chain oil tanks respectively, and tighten the caps securely. Fuel Chain oil
Note: When restarting immediately after stopping the engine, set the Choke knob in the HALF CHOKE position (choke open and throttle lever in the starting position).

ADJUSTING THE CARBURETOR

L needle H needle Idle adjusting screw
5. While holding the saw unit securely on the ground, pull the starter grip until the engine attempts to start, but no more than 5 times.
The carburetor on your unit has been factory adjusted, but may require fine tuning due to a change in operating conditions. Before adjusting the carburetor, make sure that the provided air/fuel filters are clean and fresh and the fuel properly mixed. When adjusting, take the following steps:
Note: Be sure to adjust the carburetor with the bar chain attached.
Do not start the engine while the chain saw hangs in one hand. The saw chain may touch your body. This in very dangerous.
Fine adjustment of the idling speed T
Adjust the idle speed with the T-screw. If it is necessary to readjust, 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.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Release the throttle lever to allow the engine to idle for a few minutes. 2. Set the switch to the O (STOP) position. Switch

T-screw

Contact your servicing dealer, if the idle speed setting cannot be adjusted so that the chain stops. Do not use the chain saw until it has been properly adjusted or repaired.

[Important] Do not put the chain saw on the ground when the chain is still moving. For additional safety, set the chain brake when the saw is not in use. In the event that the ignition switch will not stop the saw, pull the choke knob out to the fully extended position "FULL CHOKE" and engage chain brake to stop the engine. If the ignition switch will not stop the saw when set to the "STOP" position, have the ignition switch repaired before using the chain saw again to prevent unsafe conditions or serious injury.
Note: When you are finished using the saw, always re lieve tank pressure by loosening, then retightening, the chain oil and fuel mix caps. Allow the engine to cool before storing.

CHAIN BRAKE

This machine is equipped with an automatic brake to stop saw chain rotation upon occurrence of kickback during saw cutting. The brake is automatically operated by inertial force, which acts on the weight fitted inside the front guard. This brake can also be operated manually with the front guard turned down to the guide bar. To release the brake, pull up the front guard toward the front handle till a click sound is heard.
Carburetor anti-freeze mechanism
Operating chain saws in temperatures of 0 5C at times of high humidity may result in ice forming within the carburetor, and this in turn may cause the output power of the engine to be reduced or for the engine to fail to operate smoothly. This product has accordingly been designed with a ventilation hatch on the right side of the surface of the cylinder cover to allow warm air to be supplied to the engine and to thereby prevent icing from occurring. Under normal circumstances the product should be used in the normal operating mode, i.e., in the mode to which it is set at the time of shipment. However when the possibility exists that icing may occur, the unit should be set to operate in the anti-freeze mode before use. Anti-freeze mode Normal operating mode Cylinder cover

[Caution]

Be sure to confirm brake operation during daily inspection. Sunshine mark Snow mark Continuing to use the product in the anti-freeze mode even when temperatures have risen and returned to normal, may result in the engine failing to start properly or in the engine failing to operate at its normal speed, and for this reason you should always be sure to return the unit to the normal operating mode if there is no danger of icing occurring.

How to confirm:

1) Turn off the engine. 2) Holding the chain saw horizontally, release your hand from the front handle, hit the tip of the guide bar to a stump or a piece of wood, and confirm brake operation. Operating level varies by bar size.
HOW TO SWITCH BETWEEN OPERATING MODES
Cylinder cover Choke knob Icing cap In case the brake is not effective, ask our dealer for inspection and repairs. If the engine keeps rotating at high speed with the brake engaged, the clutch will overheat causing trouble. When the brake engages during operation, immediately release the throttle lever to stop the engine.
1. Flip the engine switch to turn off the engine. 2. Remove the cover to the air filter, remove the air filter, and then remove the choke knob from the cylinder cover. 3. Loosen the screws holding the cylinder cover in place (i.e., the three screws on the inside and the one screw on the outside of the cover), and then remove the cylinder cover. 4. Press with your finger down on the icing cap located on the right-hand side of the cylinder cover to remove the icing cap. 5. Adjust the icing cap so that the snow mark faces upwards and then return it to its original position in the cylinder cover. 6. Fix the cylinder cover back into its original position, and then fix all other parts back into their proper positions.

6. Sawing

Before proceeding to your job, read the section For Safe Operation. It is recommended to first practice sawing easy logs. This also helps you get accustomed to your unit. gine at full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or does not stop, replace the brake band and clutch drum before use. 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 ot serious personal injury due to kickback.
Always follow the safety regulations. The chain saw must only be used for cutting wood. It is forbidden to cut other types of material. Vibrations and kickback vary with different materials and the requirements of the safety regulations would not be respected. Do not use the chain saw as a lever for lifting, moving or splitting objects. Do not lock it over fixed stands. It is forbidden to hitch tools or applications to the PTO other than those specified by the manufacturer.

FELLING A TREE

Felling direction

Notch cut

Felling cut
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light pressure while running the engine at full throttle. 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 way.
1. Decide the felling direction considering the wind, lean of the tree, location of heavy branches, ease of completing the task 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. When you fell a tree, be sure to warn neighboring workers of the danger. Bucking and Limbing Always ensure your foothold. Do not stand on the log. Be alert to the rolling over of a cut log. Especially when working on a slope, stand on the uphill side of the log. Follow the instructions in For Safe Operation to avoid kickback of the saw. Before starting work, check the direction of bending force inside the log to be cut. Always finish cutting from the opposite side of the bending direction to prevent the guide bar from being caught in the cut.

GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK

This saw is 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 the throttle for I 2 seconds and pushing the front hand guard forward. The chain should stop immediately with the en-
GZ400 A log lying on the ground First check to which side the limb is bent. Then make the initial cut from the bent side and finish by sawing from the opposite side. Be alert to the springing back of a cut limb. Saw down halfway, then roll the log over and cut from the opposite side. A log hanging off the ground Pruning of Standing Tree
Cut up from the bottom, finish down from the top. In area A, saw up from the bottom one-third and finish by sawing down from the top. In area B, saw down from the top one-third and finish by sawing up from the bottom. Cutting the limbs of Fallen Tree Do not use an unstable foothold or ladder. Do not overreach. Do not cut above shoulder height. Always use both your hands to hold the saw.

7. Maintenance

Before cleaning, the inspecting or repairing the unit, make sure that engine has stopped and is cool. Disconnect the spark plug to prevent accidental starting.

8. Maintenance of Saw Chain and Guide Bar
Saw Chain It is very important for smooth and safe operation to always keep the cutters sharp.
The cutters need to be sharpened when: Sawdust becomes powder-like. You need extra force to saw in. The cut path does not go straight. Vibration increases. Fuel consumption increases. Cutter setting standards: Be sure to wear safety gloves. After each cutter has been filed, check the depth gauge and file it to the proper level as illustrated.
Before filing: Make sure the saw chain is held securely. Make sure the engine is stopped. Use a round file of proper size for the chain. Chain type: Carlton N1C-BL-M-57E SK File size: 5/32 in (1.6 mm) Place the file on the cutter and push straight forward. Keep the file position as illustrated.
Appropriate gauge checker

Mirage

Industrial Mowers & Engine
The 2008/2009 lawn & garden season saw the launch of the Mirage UT46/4S utility mower, the D46/4S grassbox mower, the F1/4S grassbox mower and the P48/4S hover mower all powered by a Mirage M120S 2-stroke petrol engine. The UT46/4S, D46/4S, F1/4S and P48/4S have been sold into several different applications ranging from homeowners to commercial contractors and industrial hire fleets with no reported failures. Most dealers should be familiar with these mowers by now. These mowers have provided an economical solution to consumers who require an industrial 2-stroke mower, but cant afford the high prices of established 2-stroke engine brands currently in the market place. All mowers have been well received so far by consumers. Due to demand outstripping supply, Mirage M120S engines have only been available on complete mowers so far. The good news is the M120S will be available as a bare replacement engine from mid-March 2009 onwards. If you have not yet seen or purchased the Mirage UT46/4S, D46/4S, F1/4S, P48/4S or M120S please do not hesitate to contact us to view a demo unit.

Briggs & Stratton

Walk Behind Engine Special
Most dealers have taken advantage of the special we have been offering on the Briggs & Stratton 375 Sprint engine. The promotion has been an overwhelming success with engine sales really surging during the month of January where over 100 units were sold. To date nearly 200 engines have been sold since the beginning of December 2008. Due to the great support we have had on this promotion, we have secured more stock and we will be extending the promotion for another 100 units until the end of the season or while this stock lasts. We would like to thank everyone for their support on this special!
