It is equipped with a built-in automatic oiler that ensures the chain remains properly lubricated during use, prolonging the life of both the bar and the chain. Additionally, the air filter is easily accessible, allowing for quick and hassle-free cleaning or replacement, which is crucial for maintaining optimal engine performance.

The Poulan PL500 also focuses on environmental considerations, incorporating technologies to minimize emissions and fuel consumption. This eco-friendly approach not only helps users comply with environmental regulations but also contributes to a cleaner outdoor environment for everyone.
