S Carefully plan your sawing operation in ad-
vance. Do not start cutting until you have a
clear work area, secure footing, and, if you
are felling trees, a planned retreat path.
Wipe up all fuel spills before starting saw.
S Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) from fuel-
ing site before starting engine.
S 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.
OPERATE YOUR SAW SAFELY
S Do not operate a chain saw with one hand.
Serious injury to the operator, helpers, by-
standers or any combination of these per-
sons may result from one-handed opera-
S 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.
tion.
A
chain saw is intended for
two-handed use.
S Operate the chain saw only in a well-venti-
lated outdoor area.
KICKBACK
S Do not operate saw from a ladder or in a
tree.
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 con-
tacts 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 ob-
ject in the wood can also result in loss of
chain saw control.
S Rotational Kickback can occur when the
moving chain contacts an object at the up-
per 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 to-
ward the operator.
S 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.
S 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.
S 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 com-
pleted.
S Stop the engine before setting the saw
down.
S Do not operate a chain saw that is dam-
aged, improperly adjusted, or not com-
pletely and securely assembled. Always
replace bar, chain, hand guard, or chain
brake immediately if it becomes damaged,
broken or is otherwise removed.
S 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
S Have all chain saw service performed by a
qualified service dealer with the exception
of the items listed in the maintenance sec-
tion of this manual. For example, if improp-
er tools are used to remove or hold the fly-
wheel when servicing the clutch, structural
damage to the flywheel can occur and
cause the flywheel to burst.
S 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.
S Make certain the saw chain stops moving
when the throttle trigger is released. For
correction, refer to CARBURETOR AD-
JUSTMENTS.
Avoid Pinch--Kickback:
S Never modify your saw in any way.
S Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil
or fuel mixture.
S Be extremely aware of situations or ob-
structions that can cause material to pinch
the top of or otherwise stop the chain.
S Do not cut more than one log at a time.
S Do not twist the saw as the bar is with-
drawn from an undercut when bucking.
Avoid Pull--In:
S Keep fuel and oil caps, screws, and fas-
teners securely tightened.
S Use only Poulan PROR accessories and
replacement parts as recommended.
S Always begin cutting with the engine at full
speed and the saw housing against wood.
S Use wedges made of plastic or wood.
Never use metal to hold the cut open.
HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION
S Do not smoke while handling fuel or while
operating the saw.
S 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 en-
gine to cool before refueling.
S 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.

KICKBACK
S Recognize that kickback can happen.
With a basic understanding of kickback,
you can reduce the element of surprise
which contributes to accidents.
S Never let the moving chain contact any ob-
ject at the tip of the guide bar.
S Keep the working area free from obstruc-
tions 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.
S 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 encir-
cling and your left thumb under the front
handlebar. Keep your right hand complete-
ly around the rear handle whether your are
right handed or left handed. Keep your left
arm straight with the elbow locked.
S Position your left hand on the front handle-
bar 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.
S Stand with your weight evenly balanced on
both feet.
S Stand slightly to the left side of the saw to
keep your body from being in a direct line
with the cutting chain.
S Keep your saw chain sharp and properly
tensioned. A loose or dull chain can in-
crease the chance of kickback occurring.
Follow manufacturer’s chain sharpening
and maintenance instructions. Check ten-
sion at regular intervals with the engine
stopped, never with engine running. Make
sure the chain brake nuts are securely
tightened after tensioning the chain.
S Begin and continue cutting at full speed. If
chain is moving at a slower speed, there is
greater chance of kickback occurring.
S Cut one log at a time.
S Do not overreach. You could be drawn or
thrown off balance and lose control of saw.
S Do not cut above shoulder height. It is diffi-
cult to maintain control of saw above
shoulder height.
KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES
S Use extreme caution when re-entering a
previous cut.
WARNING: The following features
are included on your saw to help reduce the
hazard of kickback; however, such features
will not totally eliminate this dangerous reac-
tion. 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.
S Do not attempt cuts starting with the tip of
the bar (plunge cuts).
S Watch for shifting logs or other forces that
could close a cut and pinch or fall into chain.
S Use Reduced-Kickback Guide Bar and Low-
Kickback Chain specified for your saw.

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 AND
CAREFULLY TO AVOID KICKBACK. Re-
duced--kickback guide bars and low--kick-
back saw chains reduce the chance and
magnitude of kickback and are recom-
mended. Your saw has a low kickback chain
and bar as original equipment. Repairs on a
chain brake should be made by an autho-
rized servicing dealer. Take your unit to the
place of purchase if purchased from a ser-
vicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized
master service dealer.

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 in-
dicate 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.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Your saw is equipped
with a temperature limiting muffler and spark
arresting screen which meets the
requirements of California Codes 4442 and
4443. All U.S. forest land and the states of
California, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New
Jersey, Oregon, and Washington require
many internal combustion engines to be
equipped with a spark arresting screen by
law. If you operate a chain saw in a state or
locale where such regulations exist, you are
legally responsible for maintaining the
operating condition of these parts. Failure to
do so is a violation of the law. Refer to the
SERVICE section for maintenance of the
spark arresting screen.
S An adjusting pin and screw is used to ad-
just the tension of the chain. It is very im-
portant when assembling the bar, that the
pin located on the adjusting screw aligns
into a hole in the bar. Turning the screw will
move the adjustment pin up and down the
screw. Locate this adjustment before you
begin mounting the bar onto the saw. See
illustration below.

Adjusting the tension:
Chain tension is very important. Chain
stretches during use. This is especially true
during the first few times you use your saw.
Always check chain tension each time you
use and refuel your saw.
You can adjust the chain tension by loosen-
ing the chain brake nuts and turning the ad-
justing screw 1/4 of a turn while lifting up on
the bar.
Place chain onto the sprocket
S If chain is too tight, turn adjusting screw 1/4
turn counterclockwise.
S Fit bottom of drive links between the teeth
in the sprocket in the nose of the guide bar.
S Fit chain drive links into bar groove.
S Pull guide bar forward until chain is snug in
the groove of the bar. Ensure all drive links
are in the bar groove.
S If chain is too loose, turn adjusting screw
1/4 turn clockwise.
S Hold guide bar against the saw frame mak-
ing sure the adjusting pin is aligned with
the hole in the bar. Remember this pin
moves the bar forward and backward as
screw is turned. Install the chain brake.
S Replace the chain brake nuts and tighten
finger tight. Once the chain is tensioned
you will need to tighten chain brake nuts.
Adjusting
Screw
S Lift up the tip of the bar and tighten the
chain brake nuts securely with the bar tool.
S Recheck chain tension. Tension is correct
when chain does not sag below the bar but
still can be moved around the bar.
CHAIN TENSION (Including units with
chain already installed)
NOTE: When adjusting chain tension,
make sure the chain brake nuts are finger
tight only. Attempting to tension the chain
when the chain brake nuts are tight can
cause damage.
WARNING: If the chain is operated
with a loose chain, the chain could jump off
the guide bar and result in serious injury.

FUELING & LUBRICATION
STARTING
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.
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 2-cycle air-cooled
engine oil. We recommend Poulan PROR
brand oil. If you do not use this oil, use a good
quality 2-cycle air-cooled oil designed to be
mixed at a ratio of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained
by mixing 3.2 onces of oil with 1 gallon of
unleaded gasoline. Included with this saw is a
3.2 ounce container of Poulan/Weed Eater
brand oil. Pour the entire contents of this
container into 1 gallon of gasoline to achieve
the proper fuel mixture.
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.

DO NOT USE automotive or boat oil. These
oils will cause engine damage. When mixing
fuel follow the instructions printed on the
container. Always read and follow the safety
rules listed under HANDLE FUEL WITH
CAUTION.
Right foot through rear handle
BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require continuous lubrica-
tion. 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 discolor-
ation of the bar.
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.
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.
NOTE: Do not cut material with the choke/
fast idle lever at the FULL CHOKE position.
STARTING A COLD ENGINE (or a
warm engine after running out of
fuel)
S Move ON/STOP switch to the ONposition.
S Pull the choke/fast idle lever out to the full
extent.
Genuine Poulan or Poulan PROR bar and
chain oil is recommended to protect your unit
against excessive wear from heat and friction.
Poulan or Poulan PROR oil resists high
temperature thinning. If Poulan or Poulan
PROR bar and chain oil is not available, use a
good grade SAE 30 oil.

CHOKE/FAST IDLE LEVER
IMPORTANT
(SIDE VIEW)
Experience indicates that alcohol--blended
fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or meth-
anol) can attract moisture which leads to sepa-
ration and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage. To avoid engine prob-
lems, 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 addi-
tional information.

DIFFICULT STARTING (or starting a
flooded engine)
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.
The engine may be flooded with too much
fuel if it has not started after 10 pulls.
Flooded engines can be cleared of excess
fuel by following the warm engine starting
procedure listed above. Insure the ON/
STOP switch is in the ON position.
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.
CUTTING METHODS
CHAIN BRAKE
IMPORTANT POINTS
S Check chain tension before first use and
after 1 minute of operation. See CHAIN
TENSION in the ASSEMBLY section.
S Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics,
masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.
S Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign
object. Inspect the saw and repair parts as
necessary.
S Keep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a
small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain
and increase the possibility of kickback.
S Practice cutting a few small logs using the
following techniques to get the “feel” of us-
ing your saw before you begin a major
sawing operation.
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 ser-
vice dealer. Take your unit to the place of pur-
chase if purchased from a servicing dealer,
or to the nearest authorized master service
dealer.
S This saw is equipped with a chain brake.
The brake is designed to stop the chain if
kickback occurs.
S
Squeeze the throttle trigger and allow
the engine to reach full speed before
cutting.
S The inertia--activated chain brake is
activated if the front hand guard is pushed
forward, either manually (by hand) or
automatically (by sudden movement).
S If the brake is already activated, it is
disengaged by pulling the front hand guard
back toward the front handle as far as
possible.
S

Release the throttle trigger as soon as
the cut is completed, allowing the en-
gine to idle. If you run the saw at full
throttle without a cutting load, unneces-
sary wear can occur to the chain, bar
and engine.
NOTE: If the tree has large buttress roots,
remove them before making the notch. If us-
ing saw to remove buttress roots, keep saw
chain from contacting ground to prevent dull-
ing of the chain.
NOTCH CUT AND FELLING THE
TREE
To avoid losing control when cut is com-
plete, do not put pressure on saw at end
of cut.
S 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 cut-
ting the bottom of the notch. See illustra-
tion. Once the notch is cut remove the
notch of wood from the tree.
S Stop the engine before setting the saw down.
TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES
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, at night since you will not be able to
see well, or during bad weather such as rain,
snow, or strong winds, etc. If tree makes con-
tact with any utility line, the utility company
should be notified immediately.
S Carefully plan your sawing operation in ad-
vance.
S Clear the work area. You need a clear area
all around the tree so you can have secure
footing.
Final cut here 2 inches
above center of notch.
First cut
Notch
Second cut
S The chain saw operator should keep on
the uphill side of the terrain as the tree is
likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
S 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:
S The wind direction and speed.
S 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.
S 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 de-
termine the direction of tree lean.
S Weight and branches on one side.
S Surrounding trees and obstacles.
Look for decay and ro.t If the trunk is rotted, it
can snap and fall toward the operator.
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. En-
gine 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.

control fall

Plan a clear retreat path to the rear and diago-
nal to the line of fall.
NOTE: Before felling cut is complete, use
wedges to open the cut if necessary to
control the direction of fall. To avoid kickback
and chain damage, use wood or plastic
wedges, but never steel or iron wedges.
Plan a clear retreat path
S Be alert to signs that the tree is ready to
fall: cracking sounds, widening of the fell-
ing cut, or movement in the upper
branches.
Direction of Fall
45_
S As tree starts to fall, stop saw, put it down,
and get away quickly on your planned re-
treat path.
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 de-
sired direction of fall. After a felling cut is
made on the opposite side of tree, the tree
will tend to fall into the notch.
S 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 com-
pletely, 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 length.
WARNING: Never turn saw upside
down to undercut. The saw cannot be con-
trolled in this position.
Always make your first cut on the compres-
sion side of the log. The compression side of
the log is where the pressure of the log’s
weight is concentrated.
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.
First cut on compression side of log
IMPORTANT POINTS
S Cut only one log at a time.
S Cut shattered wood very carefully; sharp
pieces of wood could be flung toward oper-
ator.
Second cut
Second cut
S 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.
S Do not cut in an area where logs, limbs,
and roots are tangled. Drag the logs into a
clear area before cutting by pulling out ex-
posed and cleared logs first.
First cut on compression side of log
BUCKING WITHOUT A SUPPORT
S Overcut through 1/3 of the diameter of log.
S Roll log over; finish with a second overcut.
S Watch for saws with a compression side to
prevent the saw from pinching. See il-
lustrations for cutting logs with a compres-
sion side.
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. Do not
attempt to restart your saw when it is pinched
or hung in a log.
BUCKING USING A LOG OR SUP-
PORT STAND
S Remember your first cut is always on the
compression side of the log (refer to the il-
lustrations below for your first and second
cuts).
S Your first cut should extend 1/3 of the
diameter of the log.
S Finish with your second cut.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
IMPORTANT POINTS
S Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly
gripped on saw. Maintain secure footing
and balance.
S Watch out for springpoles. Use extreme
caution when cutting small size limbs. Slen-
der material may catch saw chain and be
whipped toward you or pull you off balance.
S Be alert for springback. Watch out for
branches that are bent or under pressure.

CAUTION: It is important to prevent gum
deposits from forming in essential fuel sys-
tem parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hose, or fuel tank during storage. Alco-
hol blended fuels (called gasohol or using
ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to fuel mixture separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the engine.
