WARNING: Always disconnect spark plug wire and place wire where it can- not contact spark plug to prevent accidental starting when setting up, transporting, ad- justing or making repairs except carburetor adjustments.

Because a chain saw is a high-speed wood- cutting tool, special safety precautions must be observed to reduce the risk of accidents. Careless or improper use of this tool can cause serious injury.

unit.

SRestrict the use of your saw to adult us- ers who understand and can follow safe- ty rules, precautions, and operating in- structions found in this manual.

SWear protective gear. Always use steel- toed safety footwear with non-slip soles; snug-fitting clothing; heavy-duty, non- slip gloves; eye protection such as non- fogging, vented goggles or face screen; an approved safety hard hat; and sound barriers--ear plugs or mufflers to protect your hearing. Regular users should have hearing checked regularly as chain saw

noise can damage hearing. Secure hair above shoulder length.

SKeep all parts of your body away from the machine when the engine is running.

SKeep children, bystanders, and animals a minimum of 30 feet (10 Meters) away from the work area. Do not allow other people or animals to be near the chain saw when starting or operating the chain saw.

SDo not handle or operate a chain saw when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or if you have taken alcohol, drugs, or medication. You must be in good physi- cal condition and mentally alert. Chain saw work is strenuous. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by

strenuous work, check with your doctor before operating a chain saw.

SCarefully plan your sawing operation in advance. Do not start cutting until you have a clear work area, secure footing, and, if you are felling trees, a planned re- treat path.

OPERATE YOUR SAW SAFELY

SDo not operate a chain saw with one hand. Serious injury to the operator, help- ers, bystanders or any combination of these persons may result from one- handed operation. A chain saw is in-

tended for two-handed use.

SOperate the chain saw only in a well-ven- tilated outdoor area.

SDo not operate saw from a ladder or in a

tree, unless you are specifically trained to do so.

SMake sure the chain will not make con- tact with any object while starting the en- gine. Never try to start the saw when the

guide bar is in a cut.

SDo not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut. Applying pressure can cause you to lose control when the cut is com- pleted.

SStop the engine before setting the saw

down.

SBe alert for springback when cutting a limb that is under tension so you will not be struck by the limb or saw when the ten- sion in the wood fibers is released.

MAINTAIN YOUR SAW IN GOOD WORKING ORDER

SHave all chain saw service performed by a qualified service dealer with the excep- tion of the items listed in the maintenance section of this manual. For example, if improper tools are used to remove or hold the flywheel when servicing the clutch, structural damage to the flywheel can oc-

cur and cause the flywheel to burst.

SMake certain the saw chain stops moving when the throttle trigger is released. For correction, refer to CARBURETOR AD-

JUSTMENTS.

SNever modify your saw in any way. Use only attachments supplied or specifically recommended by the manufacturer.

SKeep the handles dry, clean, and free of

oil or fuel mixture.

SWith the engine stopped, hand carry the chain saw with the muffler away from your body, and the guide bar and chain to the rear, preferably covered with a scab-

bard.

SKeep fuel and oil caps, screws, and fas-

teners securely tightened.

SUse only Poulan accessories and re- placement parts as recommended.

HANDLE FUEL WITH CAUTION

SDo not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the saw.

SEliminate all sources of sparks or flame in the areas where fuel is mixed, or poured. There should be no smoking, open flames, or work that could cause sparks. Allow engine to cool before refueling.
