Serious injury tothe operator,
helpers, by-
standers
orany combination
ofthese p er-
sons m ay result from one-handed

• 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 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.
• 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 ofoil
or fuel mixture.
• Keep fuel and oil caps, screws, and fas-
teners securely tightened.
• Use only Poulan®
accessories
and re-
placement
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 cool 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 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. Slowly 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.
• 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.
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 not 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.
