HELPFUL TIP
IMPORTANT:
Have  all
repairs other than the rec-
ommended
maintenance
described in the instruction
manual  performed  by  an
authorized service dealer.
If any dealer  other than an authorized
service  dealer performs  work  on  the
product, Poulan PRO  may not pay for
repairs  under warranty.  It  is your  re-
sponsibility  to  maintain  and  perform
general maintenance.
CHECK CHAIN SHARPNESS
A  sharp chain  makes wood  chips. A  dull
chain makes  a sawdust  powder and  cuts
slowly. See CHAIN SHARPENING.
CHECK GUIDE BAR
Conditions which require guide bar mainte-
nance:
S  Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.
S  Saw has to be forced through the cut.
S  Inadequate supply of oil to bar/chain.
Check the condition of guide bar each time
chain is  sharpened. A  worn guide bar  will
damage the chain and make cutting difficult.
After each use, ensure ON/STOP switch is
in the STOP position, then clean all sawdust
from the guide bar and sprocket hole.
