OPERATE
YOUR
SAW SAFELY
• 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.
• Operate the chain saw only in a welFventilated outdoor area.
• Do not operate saw from a ladder or in a
tree.
• Make sure the chain will not make contact
with any object while starting the engine.
Never try to start the saw when the guide
bar is in a cut.
• Do not put pressure on the saw at the end
of the cut. Applying pressure can cause
you to lose control when the cut is completed.
• Stop the engine before setting the saw
down.
• Do not operate a chain saw that is damaged, improperly adjusted,
or not completely and securely assembled.
Always
replace bar, chain, hand guard, or chain
brake immediately if it becomes damaged,
broken or is otherwise removed.
• With the engine stopped, hand carry the
chain saw with the muffler away from your
body, and the guide bar and chain to the
rear, preferably covered with a scabbard.
MAINTAIN
YOUR
SAW
IN GOOD
WORKING
ORDER
• Have all chah_ saw service performed by a
qualified service dealer with the exception
of the items listed in the maintenance sectionofthis manual. Forexample,
ifimproper tools are used to remove or hoid the flywheel when servicing the clutch, structural
damage to the flywheel can occur and
cause the flywheel to burst.
• Make certain the saw chain stops moving
when the throttle trigger is released.
For
correction,
refer to CARBURETOR
ADJUSTMENTS.
• Never modify your saw in any way.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil
or fuel mixture.
• Keep fuel and oil caps, screws, and fasteners securely tightened.
• Use only Poulan®
accessories
and replacement parts as recommended.
HANDLE
FUEL WITH CAUTION
• Do not smoke while handling fuel or while
operating the saw.
• Eliminate all sources of sparks or flame in
the areas where fuel is mixed or poured.
There should be no smoking, open flames,
or work that could cause sparks. Allow engine to coot before refueling.
• Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area on
bare ground; store fuel in a cool, dry, well
ventilated
place; and use an approved,
marked container for all fuel purposes.
Wipe up all fuel spills before starting saw.
• Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) from fueling site before starting engine.
• Turn the engine off and let saw cool in a
non-combustible
area, not on dry leaves,
straw, paper, etc. Slowly remove fuel cap
and refuel unit.
• Store the unit and fuel in an area where fuel
vapors cannot reach sparks
or open
flames from water heaters, electric motors
or switches, furnaces, etc.
KICKBACK
A_,WARNING:
Avoid kickback
which
can result in serious injury. Kickback
is the
backward, upward or sudden forward motion
of the guide bar occurring when the saw
chain near the upper tip of the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or branch, or
when the wood closes in and pinches the
saw chain in the cut. Contacting a foreign object in the wood can also result in loss of
chain saw control,
• Rotational
Kickback
can occur when the
moving chain contacts an object at the upper tip of the guide bar. This contact can
cause the chain to dig into the object,
which stops the chain for an instant, The
result is a lightning fast, reverse reaction
which kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator.
• Pinch-Kickback
can occur when the the
wood closes in and pinches the moving
saw chain in the cut along the top of the
guide bar and the saw chain is suddenly
stopped. This sudden stopping
of the
chain results in a reversal of the chain
force used to cut wood and causes the
saw to move in the opposite direction of the
chain rotation, The saw is driven straight
back toward the operator.
• Pull-In can occur when the moving chain
contacts a foreign object in the wood in the
cut along the bottom of the guide bar and the
saw chain is suddenly stopped. This sudden
stopping pulls the saw forward and away
from the operator and could easily cause the
operator to lose control of the saw.
Avoid
Pinch-Kickback:
• Be extremely aware of situations or obstructions that can cause material to pinch
the top of or otherwise stop the chain,
• Do not cut more than one log at a time,
• Do not twist the saw as the bar is withdrawn from an undercut when bucking,
Avoid Pull-In:
• Always begin cutting with the engine at full
speed and the saw housing against wood.
• Use wedges made of plastic or wood.
Never use metal to hold the cut open.

REDUCE
THE CHANCE
OF
KICKBACK
• Recognize
that kickback
can happen.
With a basic understanding
of kickback,
you can reduce the element of surprise
which contributes to accidents.
• Never let the moving chain contact any object at the tip of the guide bar.
• Keep the working area free from obstructions such as other trees, branches, rocks,
fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid
any obstruction that your saw chain could
hit while you are cutting. When cutting a
branch, do not let the guide bar contact
branch or other objects around it.
• Keep your saw chain sharp and properly
tensioned.
A loose or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback occurring.
Follow manufacturer's
chain sharpening
and maintenance instructions. Check tension at regular intervals with the engine
stopped, never with the engine running.
Make sure the chain brake nuts are securely tightened after tensioning the chain.
• Beginandcontinuecuttingatfulispeed.
If
the chain is moving at a slower speed,
there is greater chance of kickback occurring.
• Out one log at a time.
• Use extreme caution when re-entering a
previous cut.
• Do not attempt cuts starting with the tip of
the bar (ptunge cuts).
• Watch for shifting logs or other forces that
could close a cut and pinch or fall into
chain.
• Use the Reduced-Kickback
Guide Bar
and Low-Kickback
Chain specified
for
your saw.

• Keep a good, firm grip on the saw with both
hands when the engine is running and
don't let go. A firm grip will help you reduce
kickback and maintain control of the saw.
Keep the fingers of your left hand encircling and your left thumb under the front
handlebar.
Keep your right hand comptetety around the rear handle whether
your are right handed or left handed. Keep
your left arm straight with the elbow
locked.
• Position your left hand on the front handlebar so it is in a straight line with your right
hand on the rear handle when making
bucking cuts. Never reverse right and left
hand positions for any type of cutting.
• Stand with your weight evenly balanced on
both feet.
• Stand slightly to the left side of the saw to
keep your body from being in a direct line
with the cutting chain.
• Do not overreach.
You could be drawn or
thrown off balance and lose control of the
saw.
• Do not cut above shoulder height, it is difficult to maintain
control of saw above
shoulder height.
KICKBACK
SAFETY
_kWARNING:
FEATURES
The following features
are included on your saw to help reduce the
hazard of kickback; however, such features
will not totally eliminate this danger.
As a
chain saw user, do not rely only on safety devices.
You must follow all safety precautions, instructions, and maintenance
in this
manual to help avoid kickback and other
forces which can result in serious injury.
• Reduced-Kickback
Guide Bar, designed
with a small radius tip which reduces the
size of the kickback danger zone on the
bar tip. A Reduced-Kickback
Guide Bar
has been demonstrated
to significantly reduce the number and seriousness of kickbacks when tested in accordance
with
safety requirements for gasoline powered
chain saws as set by ANSI Bt75.1.

Kickback can also be caused by pinching the
saw chain along the top of the guide bar, This
action may push the guide bar rapidly back
toward the operator, Either of these events
may cause you to lose control of the saw
which could result in serious injury or even
death, DO NOT RELY UPON ANY OF THE
DEVICES BUILT INTO YOUR SAW. YOU
SHOULD USE THE SAW PROPERLY AN D
CAREFULLY
TO AVOID KICKBACK.
Reduced-kickback
guide bars and low-kickback saw chains reduce the chance and
magnitude
of kickback
and are recommended. Your saw has a tow kickback chain
and bar as original equipment,
Repairs on a
chain brake should be made by an authorized servicing dealer, Take your unit to the
place of purchase if purchased from a servicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized
master service dealer,
Computed
kickback
angle (CKA) listed on your saw and listed in
the CKA table below represents angle of
kickback your bar and chain combinations
will have when tested in accordance with
CSA (Canadian Standards Association) and
ANSi standards. When purchasing replacement bar and chain, considerations
should
be given to the lower CKA values. Lower
CKA values represent safer angles to the
user, higher values indicate more angle and
higher kick energies. Computed angles represented in the non-activated
column indicate total energy and angle associated without activation
of the chain brake during
kickback. Activated angle represents chain
stopping time relative to activation angle of
chain brake and resulting kick angle of saw.
In all cases lower CKA values represent a
safer operating environment for the user.
The following guide bar and chain combinations meet kickback requirements
of CSA
Z62.1, Z62.3, & ANSi B175.1 when used on
saws listed in this manual
Use of bar and
chain combinations other than those listed is
not recommended
and may not meet the
CKA requirements
per standard.

ounces of oil with 1 gallon of unleaded
gasoline,
Included with this saw is a 3.2
ounce container
of oil.
Pour the entire
contents of this container
into 1 gallon of
gasolh_e to achieve the proper fuel mixture.
DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These
oils wifl cause engine damage. When mixing
fuel, follow instructions printed on container.
Once oil is added to gasoline, shake container
momentarily
to assure that the fuel is
thoroughly mixed. Always read and follow the
safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your
unit.
BAR AND CHAIN
LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require continuous tubrication. Lubrication is provided by the automatic oiler system when the oil tank is kept
filled. Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and
chain. Too little oil will cause overheating
shown by smoke coming from the chain and/
or discoloration of the bar.
In freezing weather oil will thicken, making it
necessary
to thin bar and chain oil with a
small amount (5 to 10%) of #1 Diesel Fuel or
kerosene.
Bar and chain oil must be free
flowing for the oil system to pump enough oil
for adequate lubrication.
Genuine
Poulan_;
bar and chain oil is
recommended
to protect your unit against
excessive
wear from heat and friction.
Poulan_;
oil resists high temperature
thinning. If Poulan_;
bar and chain oil is not
available, use a good grade SAE 30 oil.
• Never use waste oil for bar and chain lubrication.
• Always stop the engine before removing
the oil cap.
IMPORTANT
Experience indicates that alcohol-blended
fuels (called gasoho] or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which leads
to separation and formation of acids during
storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
To
avoid engine problems,
the fuel system
should be emptied before storage for 30
days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next
season.
See STORAGE
section for additional information.
"=WARNING:
The chain must not
move when the engine runs at idle speed. If
the chain moves at idle speed refer to CARBURETOR
ADJUSTMENT
within
this
manual, Avoid contact with the muffler. A hot
muffler can cause serious burns,
To stop the engine move the ON/STOP
switch to the STOP position.
To start the engine hold the saw firmly on
the ground as illustrated,
Make sure the

CHAIN
WAR
IMPORTANT
POINTS
• Check chain tension before first use and
after 1 minute of operation.
See CHAIN
TENSION in the ASSEMBLY section.
• Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics,
masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.
• Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign
object. Inspect the saw and repair or replace parts as necessary.
• Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
and thus increase the possibility of kickback.
• Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following techniques to get the "feel" of using your saw before you begin a major
sawing operation.
• Squeeze the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to reach full speed before
cutting.
• Begin cutting
with the saw frame
against the log.
• Keep the engine at full speed the entire
time you are cutting.
• Allowthechaintocutforyou.
Exertonly

If you force
the cut. damage to the bar. chain, or engine can result.
BRAKE
NIN G:
If the brake band is worn
too thin it may break when the chain brake is
triggered. With a broken brake band, the chain
brake will not stop the chain, The chain brake
should be replaced by an authorized service
dealer if any part is worn to less than 0,020"
(0.5 mm) thick, Repairs on a chain brake
should be made by an authorized service deaf
er. Take your unit to the place of purchase if
purchased from a servicing dealer, or to the
nearest authorized master service dealer.
• This saw is equipped with a chain brake.
The brake is designed to stop the chain if
kickback occurs.
• The inertia-activated
chain
brake
is
activated if the front hand guard is pushed
forward,
either manually
(by hand) or
automatically
(by sudden movement).
• If the brake is already
activated,
it is
disengaged by pulling the front hand guard
back toward the front handle as far as
possible.
• When cutting with the saw. the chain brake
must be disengaged.
10
FELLING
•
Release the throttle trigger as soon as
the cut is completed, allowing the engine to idle. If you run the saw at full
throttle without a cutting load, unnecessary wear can occur to the chain, bar,
and engine.
• To avoid losing control when cut is complete, do not put pressure on saw at end
of cut.
• Stop the engine before setting the saw
down after cutting.

_WARNING:
or
dead branches which can fall while cutting
causing serious injury, Do not cut near buildings or electrical wires if you do not know the
direction of tree fall, nor cut at night since you
will not be able to see well, nor during bad
weather such as rain, snow, or strong winds,
etc. If the tree makes contact with any utility
line, the utility company should be notified
immediately.
• Carefully plan your sawing operation in advance.
• Clearthework

all around the tree so you can have secure
footing.
• Study the natural conditions
that can
cause the tree to fail h_a particular direction,
Natural conditions that can cause a tree to
fall in a particular direction include:
• The wind direction and speed.
• The lean of the tree. The lean of a tree
might not be apparent due to uneven or
sloping terrain. Use a plumb or level to determine the direction of tree lean.
• Weight and branches on one side.
• Surrounding trees and obstacles.
• Make notch cut by cutting the top of the
notch first. Cut through 1/3 of the diameter
of the tree. Next complete the notch by cutting the bottom of the notch. See illustration. Once the notch is cut, remove the
notch of wood from the tree.

• After removing
the wood from the notch,
make the felling cut on the opposite side of
the notch. This is done by making a cut
about two inches higher than the center of
the notch. This will leave enough uncut
wood between the felling cut and the notch
to form a hinge. This hinge will help prevent the tree from falling in the wrong direction.
Look for decay and rot. If thetrunk is rotted,
it can snap and fall toward the operator.
Check for broken or dead branches which
can fall on you while cutting.
