THROTTLE LOCK-OUT

The THROTTLE LOCK--OUT must be pressed before you can squeeze the throttle trigger. This feature prevents you from acci- dentally squeezing the trigger.

CHOKE/FAST IDLE LEVER

The choke and fast idle are set by pulling the CHOKE/FAST IDLE LEVER out to the full ex- tent for cold starting or after refueling. The choke provides additional fuel to the engine during cold starting.

The PRIMER BULB circulates fuel to the car- buretor to provide quicker starting.

CHAIN BRAKE

The chain brake is a device designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs. The chain brake activates automatically in the event of kick- back. The chain brake activates manually if the front hand guard is pushed forward. The chain brake is disengaged by pulling the front hand guard back toward the front handle as far as possible.

CHAIN TENSION

It is normal for a new chain to stretch during the first 15 minutes of operation. You should check your chain tension frequently. See CHAIN TENSION under the ASSEMBLY section.

WARNING: Muffler is very hot during and after use. Do not touch the muffler or al- low combustible material such as dry grass or fuel to do so.

With a maximum power output of 2.3 horsepower, this chainsaw ensures efficient cutting through even tougher materials. It is equipped with a 18-inch cut chain, providing a great balance of length and control for various cutting jobs.

The chainsaw is equipped with a chain brake that stops the chain immediately in the event of kickback, preventing accidents and ensuring safety during use. Additionally, the ergonomically designed handle provides a comfortable grip and reduces fatigue, making it easier to handle the chainsaw during extended use.

With a lightweight construction of approximately 10.6 pounds, the Poulan P4018WTL is easy to carry and maneuver, providing both power and portability. Furthermore, it is designed with reduced vibration technology, which minimizes user fatigue and enhances comfort during operation.

In conclusion, the Poulan P4018WTL chainsaw combines power, features, and safety to meet the demands of various cutting tasks.
