ing checked
regularly
as chain saw noise
can damage
hearing.
Secure hair a bove
shoulder
length.
• Keep all parts of your body away from the
chain when the engine is running.
• Keep children,
bystanders,
and animals
a
minimum
of 30 feet (10 Meters) away from
the work area. Do not allow other people or
animals
to be near the chain saw when
starting
or operating
the chain saw.
• Do not handle
or operate
a chain
saw
when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or if you
have taken alcohol,
drugs, or medication.
You must be in good physical
condition
and mentally
alert.
Chain
saw
work
is
strenuous.
If you have any condition
that
might be aggravated
by strenuous
work,
check with your doctor before operating
a
chain saw.
• 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.
OPERATE
YOUR
SAW
SAFELY
• Do not operate a ct_ain 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-
tion.
A
chain
saw
is
intended
for
two-handed
use.
• Operate the chain saw only in a welFventi-
iated outdoor area.
• Do not operate
saw from a ladder or in a
tree, unless you are specifically
trained to
do so.
• 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 com-
pleted.
• Stop the engine
before
setting
the saw
down.
• 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.
• 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 a_l 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 toots 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.
• 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 fas-
teners securely
tightened.
• Use only Poulan
or Poulan
Pro accesso-
ries
and
replacement
parts
as recom-
mended.
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 en-
gine to cool before refueling.
• Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor
area on
bare ground;
store fuel in a cool, dry, weII
ventilated
place; and use
an approved,
marked
container
for all fuel
purposes.
Wipe up all fuel spilis before starting
saw.
• Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) from fuel-
ing site before starting
engine.
• Turn the engine off and let saw cool in a
non-combustible
area, not on dry leaves,
straw, paper, etc. SiowIy
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
AI_,WARNING:
Kickback
can
occur
when the moving chain contacts
an object at
the upper portion of the tip of the guide bar or
when the wood
closes
in and pinches
the
saw chain in the cut. Contact
at the upper
portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause
the chain to dig into the object, which stops
the chain for an instant. The result is a light-
ning fast, reverse
reaction
which
kicks the
guide bar up and back toward the operator.
If
the saw chain is pinched along the top of the
guide bar, the guide bar can be driven rapidly
back
toward
the operator.
Either
of these
reactions
can
cause
loss
of saw
control
which
can result
in serious
injury.
Guard
against
kickback
Rotational
Kickback
is the rapid upward
and backward
motion of the chain saw that
can occur when the moving
saw chain near
the upper portion
of the tip of the guide bar
contacts
an object such as a log or a branch.
Pinch-Kickback
and
Pull-In
occur
when
the
chain
is suddenly
stopped
by being
pinched,
caught,
or by contacting
a foreign
object in the wood. 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.
Pinch-Kickback
drives
the
saw
straight
back
toward
the operator.
PulFIn
pulis the saw away from the operator.
