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.  Mix
gasoline and oil at a ratio of 40:1. 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 oil. Pour
the entire  contents  of this  container  into 1
gallon of gasoline to achieve  the proper fuel
mixture.
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.

DO NOT USE automotive oil orboat oil. These
oils will cause  engine damage. When mixing
fuel,  follow instructions  printed on  container.
Once oil is added to gasoline, shake container
momentarily to assure that thefuel isthorough-
ly mixed.  Always read and  follow the  safety
rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.
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.
