strenuous work, check with your doctor
before operating a chain saw.
SAFETY RULES
S
Carefully plan your sawing operation in
advance.
Do not start cutting until you
have a clear work area, secure footing,
and, if you are felling trees, a planned re-
treat path.
OPERATE YOUR SAW SAFELY
Do not operate a chain saw with one
hand. Serious injury to the operator, help-
ers, bystanders or any combination of
these persons may result from one-
handed operation. A chain saw is in-
tended for two-handed use.
Operate the chain saw only in a well-ven-
tilated 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 con-
tact with any object while starting the en-
gine. Never try to start the saw when the
guide bar is in a cut.
Do not put pressure on the sawat the end
of the cut. Applying pressure can cause
you to lose control when the cut is com-
pleted.
WARNING:
Always
disconnect
spark plug wire and place wire where it can-
not contact spark plug to prevent accidental
starting
when setting up, transporting, ad-
S
justing or making repairs except carburetor
adjustments.
Because a chain saw is a high-speed wood-
cutting tool, special safety precautions must
be observed to reduce the risk of accidents.
Careless or improper use of this tool can
cause serious injury.

S
Have all chain saw service performed by
a qualified service dealer with the excep-
tion of the items listed in the maintenance
section of this manual. For example, if
improper tools areused to remove orhold
the flywheel when servicing the clutch,
structural damage to the flywheel can oc-
cur and cause the flywheel to burst.
Make certain the sawchain stops moving
when the throttle trigger is released. For
correction, refer to CARBURETOR AD-
JUSTMENTS.
Never modify your saw in any way. Use
only attachments supplied or specifically
recommended by the manufacturer.
Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of
oil or fuel mixture.
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 scab-
bard.
Keep fuel and oil caps, screws, and fas-
teners securely tightened.
Use only Poulan accessories and re-
placement parts as recommended.
