This chainsaw is part of Poulan’s line of reliable outdoor power equipment, making it an excellent choice for tackling various cutting tasks, from trimming branches to felling small trees.

One of the main features of the Poulan 161608 is its powerful engine. It is equipped with a 38cc 2-stroke gas engine, which provides ample power for demanding cutting applications. The engine is designed for durability and reliability, ensuring that users can rely on the chainsaw for a range of tasks without frequent breakdowns.

Safety is a priority for Poulan, and this chainsaw features a chain brake that helps protect the user by stopping the chain in case of kickback. The front handguard and rear handle are ergonomically designed for a secure grip, reducing fatigue during extended use. Furthermore, the anti-vibration technology integrated into the design helps absorb shock, providing increased comfort and control when operating the chainsaw.

Maintenance is made easy with the Poulan 161608, as it features an automatic oiling system that ensures the chain remains lubricated, reducing wear and tear and extending the life of the chainsaw. Additionally, the tool-less chain tensioning system allows users to easily adjust the chain without the need for additional tools, making it more convenient for on-the-go maintenance.

In summary, the Poulan 161608 is a powerful and efficient chainsaw that combines user-friendly features, safety mechanisms, and ease of maintenance.
