DIFFICULT STARTING (or starting a flooded engine):

The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has not started after 10 pulls. Flooded engines can be cleared of excess fuel by following the warm engine starting procedure listed above. Insure the ON/ STOP switch is in the ON position.

Starting could require pulling the starter rope handle many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded. If engine fails to start, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call 1-800-554-6723.

Braking function control CAUTION: The chain brake must be

checked several times daily. The engine must be running when performing this proce- dure. This is the only instance when the saw should be placed on the ground with the en- gine running.

Place the saw on firm ground. Grip the rear handle with your right hand and the front han- dle with your left hand. Apply full throttle by fully depressing the throttle trigger. Activate the chain brake by turning your left wrist against the hand guard without releasing your grip around the front handle. The chain should stop immediately.

Inertia activating function control

WARNING: When performing the following procedure, the engine must be turned off.

Grip the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand. Hold the chain saw approximately 14! (35 cm) above a stump or other wooden surface. Release your grip on the front handle and use the weight of the saw to let the top of the guide bar fall forward and contact the stump. When the tip of the bar hits the stump, the brake should activate.

CHAIN BRAKE

WARNING: If the brake band is worn too thin it may break when the chain brake is triggered. With a broken brake band, the chain brake will not stop the chain. The chain brake should be replaced by an autho- rized service dealer if any part is worn to less than 0.020! (0.5 mm) thick. Repairs on a chain brake should be made by an autho- rized service dealer. Take your unit to the place of purchase if purchased from a ser- vicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized master service dealer.

SThis saw is equipped with a chain brake. The brake is designed to stop the chain if

kickback occurs.

S The inertia--activated chain brake is activated if the front hand guard is pushed forward, either manually (by hand) or automatically (by sudden movement).

S If the brake is already activated, it is disengaged by pulling the front hand guard back toward the front handle as far as possible.

SWhen cutting with the saw, the chain brake must be disengaged.

IMPORTANT POINTS

SCheck chain tension before first use and after 1 minute of operation. See CHAIN

TENSION in the ASSEMBLY section.

S Cut wood only. Do not cut metal, plastics, masonry, non-wood building materials, etc.

SStop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign object. Inspect the saw and repair or re-

place parts as necessary.

SKeep the chain out of dirt and sand. Even a

small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain and thus increase the possibility of kickback.

SPractice cutting a few small logs using the following techniques to get the “feel” of us- ing your saw before you begin a major sawing operation.

S Squeeze the throttle trigger and allow the engine to reach full speed before cutting.

S Begin cutting with the saw frame against the log.

S Keep the engine at full speed the entire time you are cutting.

S Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only light downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the bar, chain, or en- gine can result.

The Poulan 1950 and 2055 chainsaws represent a blend of power and precision, designed to cater to both professional loggers and home users alike. These models have made a significant mark in the realm of outdoor power equipment, thanks to their robust features and cutting-edge technologies.

Starting with the Poulan 1950, this chainsaw is equipped with a 50cc engine, delivering plenty of power for a variety of cutting tasks. Its lightweight design allows for maneuverability and ease of use, making it a favorable option for detailed pruning as well as heavier cutting jobs. One of the standout features of the 1950 is its automatic oiling system, which ensures that the chain receives adequate lubrication during operation, extending the life of both the chain and the bar. This model also features a simple pull-start mechanism that enhances user convenience, allowing for quick starts even in cold weather conditions.

Moving on to the Poulan 2055, this chainsaw is slightly more powerful, boasting a 55cc engine that provides increased torque for more demanding tasks. Designed with advanced technologies, the 2055 not only improved performance but also user comfort. It is fitted with a vibration-dampening system, which minimizes vibrations transferred to the user’s hands, reducing fatigue and strain during extended use. Furthermore, the 2055 features an easy-to-access air filter and spark plug, simplifying maintenance and upkeep, which is essential for long-term performance.

In addition to their respective power sources, both models utilize a chain brake system designed to enhance safety. This feature automatically stops the chain rotation if the saw is accidentally dropped or if a kickback situation arises. The ergonomic handles and lightweight construction of both chainsaws make them suitable for a wide range of users, from novices to seasoned professionals.

In summary, the Poulan 1950 and 2055 chainsaws are powerful, efficient, and designed with the user in mind. They combine advanced engineering with practical features, ensuring that whether tackling small garden tasks or larger jobs, these chainsaws deliver consistent performance. With their reliability and ease of use, they have certainly carved out a reputable niche in the world of outdoor power equipment.
