Carefully plan your sawing operation in advance. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and, if you are felling trees, a planned retreat path.

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 well-ventilated 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 chain saw service performed by a qualified service dealer with the exception of the items listed in the maintenance section of this manual. For example, if improper tools are used to remove or hold 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 AD-

JUSTMENTS.

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 PROR 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 cool 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

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.

Begin and continue cutting at full speed. If the chain is moving at a slower speed, there is greater chance of kickback occurring.

Cut 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 (plunge 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.

MAINTAIN CONTROL

Stand to the left of the saw

Thumb on underside of handlebar

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 completely 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 FEATURES

WARNING:

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 B175.1.

DEVICES BUILT INTO YOUR SAW. YOU

SHOULD USE THE SAW PROPERLY AND

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 low 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.

Tip contact in some cases may cause a lightning fast reverse REACTION, kicking the guide bar up and back toward the operator.

Pinching the saw chain along the top of the guide bar may push the guide bar rapidly back toward the operator.

Either of these reactions may cause you to lose control of the saw which could result in serious injury.Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into your saw.

Not a Low---Kickback Chain

Front Hand Guard, designed to reduce the chance of your left hand contacting the chain if your hand slips off the front handlebar.

Position of front and rear handlebars, designed with distance between handles and

“in-line” with each other. The spread and

“in-line” position of the hands provided by this design work together to give balance and resistance in controlling the pivot of the saw back toward the operator if kickback occurs.

WARNING:

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 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.

FUELING & LUBRICATION

STARTING

WARNING:

Remove fuel cap slowly when refueling.

FUELING ENGINE

This engine is certified to operate on unleaded gasoline.

Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1.

Poulan/Weed Eater brand synthetic oil is recommended. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2

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 gasoline to achieve the proper fuel mixture.

DO NOT USE automotive oil or boat oil. These oils will 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 lubrication. 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 or Poulan PRO

R bar and chain oil is recommended to protect your unit against excessive wear from heat and friction.

Poulan or Poulan PRO

R oil resists high temperature thinning.

If Poulan or

Poulan PRO

R 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 gasohol 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 CAR-

BURETOR 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 is free to turn without contacting any object.

Use only 15”---18” of rope per pull.

Hold saw firmly while pulling starter rope

Left hand on front handle

Right foot through rear handle

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER

When pulling the starter rope, do not use the full extent of the rope as this can cause the rope to break. Do not let starter rope snap back. Hold the handle and let the rope rewind slowly.

For cold weather starting, start the unit at

FULL CHOKE; allow the engine to warm up before squeezing the throttle trigger.

NOTE:

Do not cut material with the choke/ fast idle lever at the FULL CHOKE position.

STARTING A COLD ENGINE (or warm engine after running out of fuel):

NOTE:

In the following steps, when the choke/fast idle lever is pulled out to the full extent, the correct throttle setting for starting is set automatically.

1. Move ON/STOP switch to the ON position.

2. Pull out choke/fast idle to the full extent.

3. Slowly press primer bulb 6 times.

4. Pull the starter rope quickly with your right hand 5 times. Then, proceed to the next step.

NOTE:

If the engine sounds as if it is trying to start before the 5th pull, stop pulling and immediately proceed to the next step.

5. Push the choke/fast idle lever in completely (to the OFF position).

6. Pull the starter rope quickly with your right hand until the engine starts.

7. Allow the engine to run for approximately

Starting could require pulling the starter rope handle many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call

1-800-554-6723.

CHAIN BRAKE

WARNING:

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 dealer. 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).

Braking function control

CAUTION:

The chain brake must be checked several times daily. The engine must be running when performing this procedure. This is the only instance when the saw should be placed on the ground with the engine running.

Place the saw on firm ground. Grip the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand. Apply full throttle by fully depressing the throttle trigger. Activate the chain brake by turning your left wrist against the hand guard without releasing your grip around the front handle. The chain should stop immediately.

Inertia activating function control

WARNING:

When performing the following procedure, the engine must be turned off.

Grip the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain saw approximately 14! (35 cm) above a stump or other wooden surface. Release your grip on the front handle and use the weight of the saw to let the top of the guide bar fall forward and contact the stump.

When the tip of the bar hits the stump, the brake should activate.

CUTTING METHODS

10 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.

www.mymowerparts.com

For Parts Call K&T 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983

Begin cutting with the saw frame against the log.

Keep the engine at full speed the entire time you are cutting.

Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only light downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or engine can result.

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.

TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES

FELLING LARGE TREES

(6 inches in diameter or larger)

The notch method is used to fell large trees.

A notch is cut on the side of the tree in the desired direction of fall. After a felling cut is made on the opposite side of tree, the tree will tend to fall into the notch.

NOTE:

If the tree has large buttress roots, remove them before making the notch. If using saw to remove buttress roots, keep saw chain from contacting ground to prevent dulling of the chain.

NOTCH CUT AND FELLING THE

TREE

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.

Final (felling) cut here. 2 inches above center of notch.

WARNING:

Check for broken 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.

Carefully plan your sawing operation in advance.

Clear the work area. You need a clear area all around the tree so you can have secure footing.

Study the natural conditions that can cause the tree to fall in 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.

Look for decay and rot. If the trunk is rotted, it can snap and fall toward the operator. Check for broken or dead branches which can fall on you while cutting.

Make sure there is enough room for the tree to fall. Maintain a distance of

2-1/2 tree lengths from the nearest person or other objects. Engine noise can drown out a warning call.

Remove dirt, stones, loose bark, nails, staples, and wire from the tree where cuts are to be made.

Plan a clear retreat path to the rear and diagonal to the line of fall.

First cut

Notch

Second cut

Hinge

After removing the cutout of wood, 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.

Hinge holds tree on stump and helps control fall

Closing of notch

11 NOTE:

Before felling cut is complete, use wedges to open the cut when necessary to control the direction of fall. To avoid kickback and chain damage, use wood or plastic wedges, but never steel or iron wedges.

Be alert to signs that the tree is ready to fall: cracking sounds, widening of the felling cut, or movement in the upper branches.

As tree starts to fall, stop saw, put it down, and get away quickly on your planned retreat path.

DO NOT cut down a partially fallen tree with your saw. Be extremely cautious with partially fallen trees that may be poorly supported. When a tree doesn’t fall completely, set the saw aside and pull down the tree with a cable winch, block and tackle, or tractor.

CUTTING A FALLEN TREE

(BUCKING)

Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree to the desired log size.

WARNING:

Never turn saw upside down to undercut. The saw cannot be controlled in this position.

Always make your first cut on the compression side of the log. The compression side of the log is where the pressure of the log’s weight is concentrated.

First cut on compression side of log

WARNING:

Do not stand on the log being cut. Any portion can roll causing loss of footing and control. Do not stand downhill of the log being cut.

IMPORTANT POINTS

Cut only one log at a time.

Cut shattered wood very carefully; sharp pieces of wood could be flung toward operator.

Use a sawhorse to cut small logs. Never allow another person to hold the log while cutting and never hold the log with your leg or foot.

Do not cut in an area where logs, limbs, and roots are tangled such as in a blown down area. Drag the logs into a clear area before cutting by pulling out exposed and cleared logs first.

TYPES OF CUTTING USED FOR

BUCKING

WARNING:

If saw becomes pinched or hung in a log, don’t try to force it out. You can lose control of the saw resulting in injury and/or damage to the saw. Stop the saw, drive a wedge of plastic or wood into the cut until the saw can be removed easily. Restart the saw and carefully reenter the cut. To avoid kickback and chain damage, do not use a metal wedge. Do not attempt to restart your saw when it is pinched or hung in a log.

Use a wedge to remove pinched saw

Second cut

First cut on compression side of log

BUCKING WITHOUT A

SUPPORT

Overcut through

1/3 of the diameter of the log.

Roll the log over and finish with a second overcut.

Watch for logs with a compression side to prevent the saw from pinching. See illustrations for cutting logs with a compression side.

BUCKING USING A LOG OR

SUPPORT STAND

Remember your first cut is always on the compression side of the log.

(Refer to the illustrations below for your first and second cut)

Your first cut should extend

1/3 of the diameter of the log.

Finish with your second cut.

WARNING:

Limit pruning to limbs shoulder height or below. Do not cut if branches are higher than your shoulder. Get a professional to do the job.

Make your fist cut

1/3 of the way through the bottom of the limb.

Next make a 2nd cut all the way

through the limb. Then cut a third overcut leaving a 1 to 2 inch collar from the truck of the tree.

LIMBING AND PRUNING

WARNING:

Be alert for and guard against kickback. Do not allow the moving chain to contact any other branches or objects at the nose of the guide bar when limbing or pruning. Allowing such contact can result in serious injury.

Pruning technique

SERVICE

WARNING:

Never climb into a tree to limb or prune. Do not stand on ladders, platforms, a log, or in any position which can cause you to lose your balance or control of the saw.

IMPORTANT POINTS

Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly gripped on the saw. Maintain secure footing and balance.

Watch out for springpoles. Springpoles are small size limbs which can catch the saw chain and whip toward you or pull you off balance. Use extreme caution when cutting small size limbs.

Be alert for springback. Watch out for branches that are bent or under pressure.

Avoid being struck by the branch or the saw when the tension in the wood fibers is released.

Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear branches out of the way to avoid tripping over them.

LIMBING

Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only then can limbing be done safely and properly.

Leave the larger limbs underneath the felled tree to support the tree as you work.

Start at the base of the felled tree and work toward the top, cutting branches and limbs. Remove small limbs with one cut.

Keep the tree between you and the chain.

Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch you are cutting.

Remove larger, supporting branches with the cutting techniques described in BUCK-

ING WITHOUT A SUPPORT.

WARNING:

Disconnect the spark plug before performing maintenance except for carburetor adjustments.

We recommend all service and adjustments not listed in this manual be performed by an authorized service dealer.

CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS

Your carburetor is equipped with limiter caps.

Carburetor adjustment is a complicated task.

We recommend that you take your unit to an authorized service dealer. Damage will occur if you turn the needles beyond the limiter stops.

BAR MAINTENANCE

If your saw cuts to one side, has to be forced through the cut, or been run with an improper amount of bar lubrication it may be necessary to service your bar. A worn bar will damage your chain and make cutting difficult.

After each use, ensure ON/STOP switch is in the STOP position, then clean all sawdust from the guide bar and sprocket hole.

To maintain guide bar:

Move ON/STOP switch to the STOP position.

Loosen and remove chain brake nuts and chain brake. Remove bar and chain from saw.
