S Pinch-Kickback can occur when the the wood closes in and pinches the moving saw chain in the cut along the top of the guide bar and the saw chain is suddenly stopped. This sudden stopping of the chain results in a reversal of the chain force used to cut wood and causes the saw to move in the opposite direction of the chain rotation. The saw is driven straight back toward the operator.
this design work together to give balance and resistance in controlling the pivot of the saw back toward the operator if kickback occurs. S Do not overreach. You could be drawn or thrown off balance and lose control of the saw. S Do not cut above shoulder height. It is difficult to maintain control of saw above shoulder height.

FUELING & LUBRICATION FUELING ENGINE In freezing weather oil will thicken, making it necessary to thin bar and chain oil with a small amount (5 to 10%) of #1 Diesel Fuel or kerosene. Bar and chain oil must be free flowing for the oil system to pump enough oil for adequate lubrication. Genuine Poulan or Poulan PROR bar and chain oil is recommended to protect your unit against excessive wear from heat and friction. Poulan or Poulan PROR oil resists high temperature thinning.
4. Push the choke/fast idle lever in to the HALF CHOKE position. 5. Pull the starter rope quickly with your right hand until the engine starts. 6. Allow the engine to run for approximately 30 seconds. Then, squeeze and release throttle trigger to allow engine to return to idle speed. ON/STOP SWITCH (0.5 mm) thick. Repairs on a chain brake should be made by an authorized service dealer.
S Practice cutting a few small logs using the following techniques to get the “feel” of using 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 engine can result.
NOTE: Before felling cut is complete, use wedges to open the cut when necessary to control the direction of fall. To avoid kickback and chain damage, use wood or plastic wedges, but never steel or iron wedges. S Be alert to signs that the tree is ready to fall: cracking sounds, widening of the felling cut, or movement in the upper branches. S As tree starts to fall, stop saw, put it down, and get away quickly on your planned retreat path. S DO NOT cut down a partially fallen tree with your saw.
1st Cut S Be alert for springback. Watch out for branches that are bent or under pressure. Avoid being struck by the branch or the saw when the tension in the wood fibers is released. S Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear branches out of the way to avoid tripping over them. 2nd Cut Using a support stand 2nd Cut 1st Cut 1st Cut 2nd Cut LIMBING S Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only then can limbing be done safely and properly.
