WARNING:

Alternative fuels (not

gasoline) such as E--15 (15% alcohol), E--20

(20% alcohol), E--85 (85% alcohol) are NOT

classified as gasoline and are NOT approved

for use in 2--stroke gasoline engines. Use of al-

ternative fuels will cause problems such as: im-

proper clutch engagements, overheating, va-

por lock, power loss, lubrication deficiency,

deterioration of fuel lines, gaskets and internal

carburetor components, etc. Alternative fuels

cause high moisture absorption into the fuel/oil

mixture leading to oil and fuel separation.

BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION

The bar and chain require continuous lubri-

cation. Lubrication is provided by the auto-

matic 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 weath-

er 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 sys-

tem to pump enough oil for adequate lubrica-

tion. Genuine Poulan or Poulan PRO bar and

chain oil is recommended to protect your unit

against excessive wear from heat and fric-

tion. Poulan or Poulan PRO oil resists high

temperature thinning.

If Poulan or Poulan PRO bar and chain oil is

not available, use a good grade SAE 30 oil.

S

Never use waste oil for bar and chain lubri-

cation.

S

Always stop the engine before removing

the oil cap.

CHAIN BRAKE

Ensure chain brake is disengaged by pulling

the front hand guard back toward the front han-

dle as far as possible. The chain brake must be

disengaged before cutting with the saw.

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.

Left Hand

on Front

Handle

Starter Rope Handle

Right Foot Through Rear Handle

Hold saw firmly while pulling starter rope.

Use only 15

-- 18

(40 -- 45 cm) of

rope per pull.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to throw

or drop--start the chain saw. Doing so will put

the operator at risk of serious injury due to

loss of control of the chain saw.

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 attempt to cut material with

the choke/fast idle lever in the FULL CHOKE

position.

HELPFUL TIP

If your engine still does not

start after following these

instructions, please call

1--800--554--6723.
