NOTE: If this saw is to be used for com- mercial logging, a chain brake is required and shall not be removed or otherwise dis- abled to comply with Federal OSHA Regula- tions for Commercial Logging.

SAFETY NOTICE: Exposure to vibrations through prolonged use of gasoline powered hand tools could cause blood vessel or nerve damage in the fingers, hands, and joints of people prone to circulation disorders or abnormal swellings. Prolonged use in cold weather has been linked to blood vessel damage in otherwise healthy people. If symptoms occur such as numbness, pain, loss of strength, change in skin color or texture, or loss of feeling in the fingers, hands, or joints, discontinue the use of this tool and seek medical attention. An anti-vibration system does not guarantee the avoidance of these problems. Users who operate power tools on a continual and regular basis must monitor closely their physical condition and the condition of this tool.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Your saw is equipped with a temperature limiting muffler and spark arresting screen which meets the requirements of California Codes 4442 and 4443. All U.S. forest land and the states of

California, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington require by law that many internal combustion engines to be equipped with a spark arresting screen. If you operate a chain saw in a state or locale where such regulations exist, you are legally responsible for maintaining the operating condition of these parts. Failure to do so is a violation of the law. Refer to the SERVICE section for maintenance of the spark arresting screen.

Failure to follow all Safety Rules and Precau- tions can result in serious injury. If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgement. If you need assistance, contact your authorized service dealer or call 1-800--554--6723.

The P4018AV BH is a standout model featuring a powerful 40cc, 2-cycle engine that delivers robust cutting performance. Equipped with an anti-vibe handle system, it minimizes user fatigue during extended use. Its 18-inch cutting bar increases the cutting capacity, making it suitable for larger trees and branches. The tool-less chain tensioning system allows for quick adjustments, ensuring optimal performance without the need for additional tools.

The P3314WSA offers a 33cc engine, making it a lightweight option for casual users. This model is particularly suitable for homeowners and novice users who require a dependable chainsaw for light to moderate cutting tasks. The 14-inch guide bar provides excellent maneuverability, while the automatic oiler ensures continuous lubrication of the chain for smoother operation.

Moving to the P3416, this chainsaw is well-balanced and powered by a 34cc engine. With a 16-inch cutting bar, it strikes a perfect balance between power and portability, making it ideal for pruning and small to medium tree felling. The high visibility wrap handle provides extra comfort and control during operation.

The P3818AV further enhances user experience with its advanced anti-vibration technology, which significantly reduces the vibrations felt through the handles. This model features an 18-inch guide bar, making it versatile for various cutting tasks, from firewood to storm cleanup.

The P4018AV and P4018WT bring additional power to the table. The P4018AV has a similar engine and features to the BH model but in a different configuration, while the P4018WT is designed for tougher jobs with a fully-wrapped handle for improved grip and handling. The rugged construction of both models ensures they can withstand rigorous use in demanding environments.
