Cutting Methods, Stopping Your SAW | Poulan 545117546 specs

BEFORE STARTING SAW

WARNING: Be sure to read the electrical safety information in the SAFE- TY RULES section of this manual before you begin. If you do not understand the electrical safety information do not at- tempt to use your unit. Seek help from someone that does understand the in- formation or call the customer assis- tance help line at 1-800-554-6723.

GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL

The bar and chain require lubrication. The manually--operated chain oiler provides lubrication to the chain and guide bar. Be sure to fill the bar oil tank before each cut- ting session. The oiler activator/bar oil cap must be used regularly and often enough to maintain a thin film of oil on the bar and chain while saw is cutting. It is recom- mended that the oiler actuator/bar oil cap be operated every ten (10) seconds and held for approximately three (3) seconds

each time it is pressed. For maximum guide bar and chain life, we recommend you use Poulan chain saw bar oil. If Pou- lan bar oil is not available, you may use a good grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to obtain Poulan brand. The oil output is manually metered during operation. Use a funnel to fill the tank. Replace oil cap se- curely. Check oil level after every 15 min- utes of operation.
