BEFORE STARTING SAW

WARNING: Be sure to read the electrical safety information in the safety rules section of this manual before you begin. If you do not understand the elec- trical safety information do not attempt to use your unit. Seek help from someone that does understand the information or call the customer assistance help line at 1-800-554-6723.

GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL

The bar and chain require lubrication. The chain oiler provides lubrication to the chain and guide bar. Be sure to fill the bar oil tank before each cutting session. 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. For maximum guide bar and chain life, we recommend you use Poulan or Poulan ProR chain saw bar oil. If Poulan or Poulan ProR bar oil is not available, you may use a good grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to ob- tain Poulan or Poulan ProR brand. Use a funnel to fill the tank. Replace oil cap se- curely. Check oil level after every 15 min- utes of operation.
