NOTE: If this saw is to be used for com- mercial logging, a chain brake is required and shall not be removed or otherwise dis- abled to comply with Federal OSHA Regula- tions for Commercial Logging.

SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal swellings. Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical attention. An anti-vibration system does not guarantee the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a continual and regular basis must monitor closely their physical condition and the condition of this tool.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Your saw is equipped with a temperature limiting muffler and spark arresting screen which meets the requirements of California Codes 4442 and 4443. All U.S. forest land and the states of

California, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington require by law that many internal combustion engines to be equipped with a spark arresting screen. If you operate a chain saw in a state or locale where such regulations exist, you are legally responsible for maintaining the operating condition of these parts. Failure to do so is a violation of the law. Refer to the SERVICE section for maintenance of the spark arresting screen.

Failure to follow all Safety Rules and Precau- tions can result in serious injury. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgement. If you need assistance, contact your authorized service dealer or call 1-800--554--6723.

The Poulan line of chainsaws has established a strong reputation among both amateur and professional users for their reliability, performance, and innovative features. In this article, we delve into several notable models: the P3314, P3314WS, P3314WSA, P3416, P3516PR, P4018WM, P4018WT, P3818AV, P4018AV, and P4018AV BH.

Starting with the Poulan P3314, this chainsaw is powered by a robust 33cc two-cycle engine, delivering exceptional cutting power for light to medium-duty tasks. Its 14-inch bar provides a perfect balance between agility and efficiency. The tool-less chain tension system is another highlight, allowing users to easily adjust the chain without needing additional tools, enhancing usability.

The P3314WS and P3314WSA models build upon this foundation, introducing enhanced features like an automatic oiler for consistent lubrication during operation, thus prolonging the life of the bar and chain. The P3314WSA also includes an anti-vibration system, providing increased comfort during extended use, reducing operator fatigue.

Next, the Poulan P3416 offers a slightly larger 34cc engine, making it ideal for tackling larger projects while still maintaining a lightweight, easy-to-handle design. Its 16-inch bar is perfect for larger cuts, and the convenient primer bulb aids in easy starting, even in colder weather.

The P3516PR takes performance a step further with a powerful 35cc engine. This model excels in versatility, suitable for both home use and light commercial tasks. Its ergonomic design, along with the lightweight build, enables users to handle the chainsaw comfortably for longer periods.

For those requiring even more power, the P4018WM and P4018WT feature an 40cc engine, capable of handling tougher jobs effortlessly. Both models come equipped with an 18-inch bar, making them well-suited for cutting larger logs or clearing heavy brush. The addition of an easy-access air filter allows for straightforward maintenance, thereby increasing the chainsaw’s longevity.

The P3818AV introduces advanced anti-vibration technology, further enhancing user comfort, while the P4018AV and P4018AV BH models offer specialized features like the brushless motor for greater efficiency and durability. These advanced models are engineered for professionals who demand the highest performance and reliability.

Overall, the Poulan chainsaw lineup provides a range of options tailored to different user needs, from occasional home projects to intense commercial tasks. Each model showcases Poulan's commitment to delivering innovative features that elevate the cutting experience, making them a popular choice for users at all skill levels.
