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. Reg- ular users should have hearing checked regularly as chain saw noise

can damage hearing. Secure hair above shoulder length.

S Keep all parts of your body away from the chain when the engine is running.

S Keep children, bystanders, and ani- mals 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 retreat path.

OPERATE YOUR SAW SAFELY

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

intended for two-handed use.

S Operate the chain saw only in a well- ventilated outdoor area.

S Do not operate saw from a ladder or in a tree, unless you are specifically trained to do so.

S Make sure the chain will not make con- tact with any object while starting the engine. Never try to start the saw when the guide bar is in a cut.

S Do not put pressure on the saw at the end of the cut. Applying pressure can cause you to lose control when the cut is completed.

SStop the engine before setting the saw down.

Be alert for springback when cutting a limb that is under tension so you will not

be struck by the limb or saw when theS

tension 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 ex- ception of the items listed in the mainte- nance section of this manual. For ex- ample, if improper tools are used to remove or hold the flywheel when serv- icing the clutch, structural damage to

the flywheel can occur and cause the flywheel to burst.

S Make certain the saw chain stops mov- ing when the throttle trigger is released. For correction, refer to “Carburetor Ad- justments.”

S Never modify your saw in any way. Use only attachments supplied or specifi- cally recommended by the manufactur- er.

S Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.

S With 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 scabbard.

S Keep 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,
