• Carefully
plan your sawing
operation
in ad-
vance. Do not start cutting
until you have a
clear work area, secure
footing,
and, ifyou
are felling trees, aplanned
retreat path.
OPERATE
YOUR
S AW
SAFELY
• 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-
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.
• 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 aH chah_ saw service performed
by a
qualified service dealer with the exception
of the items listed in the maintenance
sec-
tionofthis
manual.
Forexample,
ifimprop-
er tools are used to remove or hoid 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 PROn_
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 en-
gine to coot 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 t0 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. SIowly 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 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,
• 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.
• 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.
• Puff-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
stepping
pulls the saw foP_vard 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 ob-
structions
that can cause material to pinch
the top of or otherwise
stop the chain,
• Do net cut more than one log at a time,
• Do not twist the saw as the bar is with-
drawn 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.
