bystanders or any combination of these
persons may result from one-handed
HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION
S Do not smoke while handling fuel or while
operating the pruner.
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
engine 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.
Wipe up all fuel spills before starting engine.
S Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) from fueling
site before starting engine.
S Turn the engine off and let unit cool in a
non-combustible area, not on dry leaves,
straw, paper, etc. Slowly remove fuel cap
and refuel unit.
operation.
A
pruner is intended for
two-handed use.
S Operate the pruner only in a well-ventilated
outdoor area.
S Do not operate pruner from a ladder or in a
tree.
S Do not use a pruner to cut down trees or any
portion of the tree trunk.
S Only use for pruning limbs or branches not
greater than 4 inches in diameter.
S Never stand under the limb you are pruning.
Always position yourself out of the path of
falling debris.
S Do not cut small brush and saplings with the
pruner. Slender matter may catch in the
chain and be whipped toward you, pulling
you off balance.
S Make sure the chain will not make contact
with any object while starting the engine.
Never try to start the unit when the guide
bar is in a cut.
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.
KICKBACK
S Do not put pressure on the pruner at the end
of the cut. Applying pressure can cause you
to lose control when the cut is completed.
S Do not run the unit at high speed when not
pruning.
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 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 chain in
the cut. Contacting a foreign object in the
wood can also result in loss of control.
S 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.
S Pinch-Kickback can occur when the wood
closes in and pinches the moving chain in
the cut along the top of the guide bar and the
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 pruner to move in the opposite
direction of the chain rotation. The pruner is
driven straight back toward the operator.
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
S If you strike or become entangled with a
foreign object, stop the engine immediately
and check for damage. Have any damage
repaired by an authorized service dealer
before attempting further operations.
S Do not operate a pruner that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Always replace bar
and chain immediately if it becomes
damaged, broken or is otherwise removed.
S Always stop the unit when work is delayed
or when walking from one cutting location to
another. Stop the engine before setting the
unit down.
S Use only in daylight or good artificial light.
S Use only for jobs explained in this manual
(or manuals for optional attachments).
MAINTAIN YOUR PRUNER IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER
S Have all service performed by a qualified
service dealer with the exception of the
items listed in the maintenance section of
this manual.

REDUCE THE CHANCE OF
KICKBACK
KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES
The following features are included on your
pruner to help reduce the hazard of kickback;
however, such features will not totally elimi-
nate this danger. As a pruner user, do not rely
only on safety devices. You must follow all
safety precautions, instructions, and mainte-
nance in this manual to help avoid kickback
and other forces which can result in serious
injury.
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
object at the tip of the guide bar.
S Keep the working area free from
obstructions such as other trees, branches,
rocks, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid any
obstruction that your 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 Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar, designed
with a small radius tip which reduces the
size of the kickback danger zone on the bar
tip.
Reduced Kickback Symmetrical Guide Bar
S Keep your 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 bar clamp nut is securely
tightened after tensioning the chain.
S Begin and continue cutting at full speed. If
the chain is moving at a slower speed, there
is greater chance of kickback occurring.
S Cut one branch at a time.

the choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.
Once engine has started, move the choke lever
to the OFF CHOKE position.
ON/OFF SWITCH
The ON/OFF switch is located on the trigger
handle and is used to stop the engine. Move the
switch to the OFF position to stop the engine.
PRIMER BULB
COUPLER
The COUPLER enables optional attach-
ments to be installed on the unit.
The PRIMER BULB removes air from the car-
buretor and fuel lines and fills them with fuel.
This allows you to start the engine with fewer
pulls on the starter rope. Activate the primer
bulb by pressing it and allowing it to return to
its original form.
CHAIN TENSION
It is normal for a new chain to stretch during
first 15 minutes of operation. You should
check your chain tension frequently. See
CHOKE
The CHOKE helps to supply fuel to the engine CHAIN TENSION in the SERVICE AND AD-
to aid in cold starting. Activate the choke by JUSTMENTS section.
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.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel
information in the safety rules before you be-
gin. If you do not understand the safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call
1-800-554-6723.
BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require lubrication. The chain
oiler provides continuous lubrication to the chain
and guide bar. Be sure to fill the bar oil tank
when you fill the fuel tank (Capacity = 4.6 fl. oz.).
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. The oil output is automatically
metered during operation. Always fill the bar oil
tank when you fill the fuel tank.
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
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 (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of
unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE automotive
oil or boat oil. These oils will cause engine
damage. When mixing fuel, follow
instructions printed on container.
Genuine PoulanR or Poulan PROR bar and
chain oil is recommended to protect your unit
against excessive wear from heat and fric-
tion. PoulanR or Poulan PROR oil resists
high temperature thinning. If PoulanR or
Poulan PROR bar and chain oil is not avail-
able, use a good grade SAE 30 oil.

S Never use waste oil for bar and chain
lubrication.
S Always stop the engine before removing
the oil cap.
4. Move choke lever to FULL CHOKE by
aligning lever with position shown on de-
cal (see illustration below).
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 stor-
age. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system
of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, empty the fuel system before stor-
age 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. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

PRUNING
Pruning technique
WARNING: Be alert for and guard
against kickback. Do not allow the moving
chain to contact any other branches or ob-
jects at the nose of the guide bar when prun-
ing. Allowing such contact can result in seri-
ous injury.
1. Make the first cut 6 inches from the tree
trunk on the bottom of the limb. Use top of
guide bar to make this cut. Cut 1/3
through the diameter of the limb.
NOTE: When making the second and third
cuts, rest the foot of the pruner against the
tree limb that is being cut to prevent whipping
of the branch.
IMPORTANT POINTS
S Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly
gripped on the pruner. Maintain secure
footing and balance.
S Plan cut carefully. Check direction branch
will fall.
S Watch out for springpoles. Springpoles are
small size limbs which can catch the chain
and whip toward you or pull you off balance.
Use extreme caution when cutting small size
limbs or slender material.
S Watch out for branches immediately behind
the branch being pruned. If the chain hits
the rear branch, damage to the unit may
occur.
S Be alert for springback. Watch out for
branches that are bent or under pressure.
Avoid being struck by the branch or the
pruner when the tension in the wood fibers
is released.
Foot
S Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear
branches out of the way to avoid tripping
over them.
2. Next, move 2 -- 4 inches farther out on the
limb and make a second cut all the way
through the limb.
3. Then, make a final cut leaving a 1 -- 2 inch
collar from the trunk of the tree to avoid
damage to the tree.
S Long branches should be removed in
several pieces.

INSPECT AND CLEAN UNIT AND LA-
BELS
S After each use, inspect complete unit for
loose or damaged parts. Clean the unit and
labels using a damp cloth with a mild deter-
gent.
S Wipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.
CHECK CHAIN TENSION
WARNING: DO NOT operate the
pruner if the chain is loose. If the pruner is oper-
ated with a loose chain, the chain could jump off
the guide bar and result in serious injury.
WARNING: Wear protective gloves
when handling chain. The chain is sharp and
can cut you even when it is not moving. Make
chain adjustments with lower end supported.
Chain tension is very important. Chains
stretch during use. This is especially true dur-
ing the first few times you use your pruner. Al-
ways check chain tension each time you use
and refuel your unit.
1. Use the screwdriver end of the chain ad-
justment tool (bar tool) to move chain
around guide bar to ensure kinks do not
exist. The chain should rotate freely.
CHECK CHAIN SHARPNESS
A sharp chain makes wood chips. A dull chain
makes a sawdust powder and cuts slowly.
See CHAIN SHARPENING in the SERVICE
AND ADJUSTMENTS section.
CLEAN AIR FILTER
A dirty air filter decreases engine perform-
ance and increases fuel consumption and
harmful emissions. Always clean after every
5 hours of operation.

BAR MAINTENANCE
4. Using bar tool, roll chain around guide bar
to ensure all links are in bar groove.
If your pruner cuts to one side, has to be
forced through the cut, or been run with an im-
proper 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/OFF switch is in
the OFF position, then clean all sawdust from
the guide bar and sprocket hole.
5. Lift up tip of guide bar to check for sag.
Release tip of guide bar, then turn adjust-
ing screw 1/4 turn clockwise. Repeat until
sag does not exist.
6. While lifting tip of guide bar, tighten bar
clamp nut securely with the bar tool.
To maintain guide bar:
S Move ON/OFF switch to the OFF position
and disconnect spark plug.
S Loosen and remove bar clamp nut and
chain brake. Remove bar and chain from
pruner.
S Clean the oil holes and bar groove after
each 5 hours of operation.
