This  engine  is certified  to  operate  on un-
leaded gasoline. Before  operation, gasoline
must be mixed with a good quality synthetic
manual. Avoid contact with the muffler. A hot
muffler can cause serious burns.
To stop  the  engine  move  the ON/STOP
switch to the STOP position.
2-cycle
air-cooled engine oil designed  to be
mixed at a ratio of 40:1. Poulan/Weed Eater
brand synthetic oil is recommended.  A 40:1
ratio is obtained by mixing  3.2 ounces of oil
with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline.  Included
with this saw is a 3.2 ounce container of Pou-
lan/Weed Eater brand synthetic  oil.  Pour the
entire contents of this container into 1 gallon of
gasoline to achieve the proper fuel mixture.
DO NOT USE automotive or boat oil. These
oils will cause engine damage. When mixing
fuel  follow  the  instructions  printed  on  the
container. Always read and follow the safety
rules  listed  under  HANDLE  FUEL  WITH
CAUTION.
To start the engine  hold the saw firmly  on
the  ground as  illustrated.    Make  sure the
chain is free  to turn without  contacting  any
object.
Use only 15”--18” of rope per pull.

BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The bar and chain  require continuous lubri-
cation.  Lubrication  is provided by the auto-
matic oiler system  when the oil tank is kept
filled. 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.

full extent  of the rope as this can cause the
rope to break.  Do  not let starter rope  snap
back.  Hold  the handle and  let the rope re-
wind slowly.

necessary  to thin  bar and  chain oil  with a
