The chain oiler provides lubrication to the chainand guidebar. Besureto fill thebar oil tank before each cutting session. 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. For maximum guide bar and chain life, we recommend you use Poulan chain saw bar oil. If Poulan bar oil is not available, you may use a good grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to obtain Poulan brand. Use a funnel to fill the tank. Replace oil cap securely. Check oil level after every 15 minutes of operation. STOPPING YOUR SAW S Release the trigger switch. S If motor does not stop, disconnect the extension cord. Discontinue use of the unit until it has been repaired by an authorized service dealer. STARTING YOUR SAW 1. Connect the saw to a power source using the proper size extension cord; see SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD). 2. Grip both handles firmly. 3. Push and hold the trigger lock- --out button with your right hand thumb. 4. Squeeze and hold the trigger switch. CUTTINGMETHODS OPERATING TIPS S Check chain tension before first use and after 1 minute of operation. See CHECK CHAIN TENSION in the MAINTENANCE 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 steps. This will help you get the “feel” of using your saw before you begin a major sawing operation. S Squeeze trigger switch and allow unit to reach full speed before cutting. S Begin cutting with the saw frame against the log. S Keep the motor at full speed the entire time you are cutting. S Release the trigger switch as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the motor to stop. S Keep the cord away from the cutting area. Position cord so it will not be caught on branches and the like during cutting. S To avoid losing control when cut is complete, do not put pressure on saw at end of cut. S Stop motor before setting saw down. TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES WARNING: Check for broken or dead branches which can fall while cutting causing serious injury. Do not cut near building...
