Frequently Asked Questions - PL3816 POULAN

What is the fuel mix ratio for the Poulan PL3816 chainsaw?

The recommended fuel mix ratio is 40:1 (40 parts gasoline to 1 part 2-stroke oil). Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane of 87 and a high-quality 2-stroke oil.

How do I adjust the chain tension on my PL3816?

Loosen the bar nuts, turn the tensioning screw clockwise to tighten the chain (the chain should snugly fit the bar with no sag, yet you can pull it freely by hand), then retighten the bar nuts. Ensure the chain brake is off before adjusting.

Why won't my Poulan PL3816 start?

Common causes include stale fuel, a clogged air filter, a fouled spark plug, or incorrect starting procedure. Make sure you use fresh fuel, clean the air filter, replace the spark plug if needed, and follow the cold start procedure: primer bulb 5 times, set choke to full, pull until it fires, then set choke to half and pull again.

What type of chain oil should I use?

Use a dedicated bar and chain oil. You can also use SAE 30 or 40 motor oil in a pinch, but bar and chain oil is preferred because it has tack agents that reduce fling-off and provide better lubrication.

How often should I sharpen the chain?

Sharpen the chain whenever it becomes dull (e.g., produces sawdust instead of chips, requires excess pressure, or the cut veers). Typically after 2-4 hours of cutting, but frequency depends on wood type and cleanliness. Use a 5/32 inch (4 mm) round file and file at a 30-degree angle.

What is the correct spark plug gap for the PL3816?

The spark plug gap should be set to 0.025 inch (0.6 mm). Use a spark plug wrench to remove and gap tool to adjust. Replace the spark plug annually or sooner if fouled.

Can I use ethanol-blended gasoline in my chainsaw?

Ethanol blends up to E10 (10% ethanol) are generally acceptable, but avoid higher ethanol content as it can damage the engine. Use fuel stabilizer if the unit will be stored for more than 30 days to prevent gumming.

How do I clean the air filter on my PL3816?

Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, tap it gently to remove loose debris, wash it in warm soapy water, rinse, and let it dry completely before reinstalling. Do not use oil on the filter unless specified. Replace if damaged or excessively dirty.

What safety gear should I wear when using the Poulan PL3816?

Always wear safety goggles or face shield, hearing protection, heavy work gloves, chainsaw chaps or pants, steel-toed boots, and a hard hat. Avoid loose clothing and secure long hair.

Where can I find replacement parts for the PL3816?

Replacement parts are available at Poulan authorized dealers, online retailers like Amazon, and the official Poulan website. Common parts include chains (part number often 530095990 or similar), bars, air filters, spark plugs, and oil caps.

STANDARDS

This saw has been designed in accordance with:

ANSI B175.1-2012 American National Standards for Gasoline-Powered Chain Saws - Safety Requirements

CSA Z62.1-11 Chain Saws – Occupational Health and Safety

CSA Z62.3-11 Chain Saw Kickback Occupational Health and Safety

INTRODUCTION

A chainsaw is a high-speed wood-cutting tool. Special safety precautions must be observed to reduce the risk of accidents.

Failure to follow all safety rules and precautions can result in serious injury.

If situations occur which are not covered in this manual, use care and good judgment. If you need assistance, contact your authorized service dealer or call consumer support.

PLANNING AHEAD

• Read this manual carefully until you completely understand and can follow all safety rules, precautions, and operating instructions before attempting to use the unit.
• Restrict the use of your saw to adult users who understand and can follow safety rules, precautions, and operating instructions found in this manual.
• Wear protective gear. Always use steel-toed safety footwear with non-slip soles; snug-fitting clothing; safety chaps; 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 chainsaw noise can damage hearing. Secure hair above shoulder length.

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

• Keep 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 chainsaw when starting or operating the chainsaw.

• Do not handle or operate a chainsaw when you are fatigued, ill, or upset, or if you have taken alcohol, drugs, or medication. You must be in good physical condition and mentally alert. Chainsaw work is strenuous. If you have any condition that might be aggravated by strenuous work, check with your doctor before operating a chainsaw.

• Carefully 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.

OPERATING YOUR SAW

• Do not operate a chainsaw with one hand. Serious injury to the operator, helpers, bystanders or any combination of these persons may result from one-handed operation. A chainsaw is intended for two-handed use.
• Operate the chainsaw only in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
• Do not operate saw from a ladder or in a tree.

• Make sure the chain will not make contact with any object while starting the engine. Never try to start the saw when the guide bar is in a cut.
• 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.
• Stop the engine before setting the saw down.
• Do not operate a chainsaw that is damaged, improperly adjusted, or not completely and securely assembled. Always replace bar, chain, hand guard, or chain brake immediately if it becomes damaged, broken or is otherwise removed.

- 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.

- With the engine stopped, hand-carry the chainsaw with the muffler away from your body, and the guide bar and chain to the rear, preferably covered with a scabbard.

MAINTAINING YOUR SAW

Line drawing of a person in traditional attire holding a chainsaw (no text or symbols)

- Have all chainsaw service performed by a qualified service dealer with the

exception 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 occur and cause the flywheel to burst.

• Make certain the saw chain stops moving when the throttle trigger is released. For correction, refer to Carburetor Adjustment.
• Never modify your saw in any way.
• Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil or fuel mixture.
• Keep fuel and oil caps, screws, and fasteners securely tightened.
• Use only genuine accessories and replacement parts as recommended.
• 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 chainsaw 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.

HANDLING FUEL

• Do not smoke while handling fuel or while operating the saw.
• Eliminate 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.
• Always have fire extinguishing tools available if you should need them.
• Mix and pour fuel in an outdoor area on bare ground; store fuel in a cool, dry, well ventilated place; and use an approved, marked container for all fuel purposes. Wipe up all fuel spills before starting saw.
• Move at least 10 feet (3 meters) from fueling site before starting engine.
• Turn the engine off and let saw cool in a non-combustible area, not on dry leaves, straw, paper, etc. Slowly remove fuel cap and refuel unit.
• Store the unit and fuel in an area where fuel vapors cannot reach sparks or open flames from water heaters, electric motors or switches, furnaces, etc.

UNDERSTANDING KICKBACK

WARNING! Avoid kickback which can result in serious injury. Kickback is the backward, upward or sudden forward motion of the guide bar occurring when the saw chain near the upper tip of the guide bar contacts any object such as a log or branch, or when the wood closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut. Contacting a foreign object in the wood can also result in loss of chainsaw control.

ROTATIONAL KICKBACK

Rotational kickback can occur when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper tip of the guide bar. This contact can cause the chain to dig into the object, which stops the

chain for an instant. The result is a lightning fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up and back toward the operator.

■ PINCH KICKBACK

Pinch kickback can occur when 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.

■ PULL-IN

Pull-in can occur when the moving chain contacts a foreign object in the wood in the cut along the bottom of the guide bar and the saw chain is suddenly stopped. This sudden stopping pulls the saw forward and away from the operator and could easily cause the operator to lose control of the saw.

REDUCING THE CHANCE OF KICKBACK

• Recognize that kickback can happen. With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce the element of surprise which contributes to accidents.
• Never let the moving chain contact any object at the tip of the guide bar.
• Keep the working area free from obstructions such as other trees, branches, rocks, fences, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid any obstruction that your saw chain could hit while you are cutting. When cutting a branch, do not let the guide bar contact branch or other objects around it.
• Keep your saw chain sharp and properly tensioned. A loose or dull chain can increase the chance of kickback occurring. Follow manufacturer's chain sharpening and maintenance instructions. Check tension at regular intervals with the engine stopped, never with the engine running. Make sure the bar nuts are securely tightened after tensioning the chain.
• Begin and continue cutting at full speed. If the chain is moving at a slower speed, there is greater chance of kickback occurring.

• Use wedges made of plastic or wood. Never use metal to hold the cut open.

• Cut one log at a time.

• Use extreme caution when re-entering a previous cut.
• Do not attempt cuts starting with the tip of the bar (plunge cuts).
• Watch for shifting logs or other forces that could close a cut and pinch or fall into chain.
• Do not twist the saw as the bar is withdrawn from an undercut when bucking.
• Use the reduced-kickback guide bar and low-kickback chain specified for your saw.

MAINTAINING CONTROL

- Keep a good, firm grip on the saw with both hands when the engine is running and don't let go. A firm grip will help you reduce kickback and maintain control of the saw. Keep the fingers of your left hand encircling and your left thumb under

Illustration of a person wearing protective gear and using a manual workbench (no text or symbols)

the front handlebar. Keep your right hand completely around the rear handle whether you are right handed or left handed. Keep your left arm straight with the elbow locked.

• Position your left hand on the front handlebar so it is in a straight line with your right hand on the rear handle when making bucking cuts. Never reverse right and left hand positions for any type of cutting.
• Stand with your weight evenly balanced on both feet.
• Stand slightly to the left side of the saw to keep your body from being in a direct line with the cutting chain.
• Do not overreach. You could be drawn or thrown off balance and lose control of the saw.
• Do not cut above shoulder height. It is difficult to maintain control of saw above shoulder height.

KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES

WARNING! The following features are included on your saw to help reduce the hazard of kickback; however, such features will not totally eliminate this danger. As a chainsaw user, do not rely only on safety devices. You must follow all safety precautions, instructions, and maintenance in this manual to help avoid kickback and other forces which can result in serious injury.

REDUCED KICKBACK GUIDE BAR

The reduced-kickback guide bar is designed with a small radius tip which reduces the size of the kickback danger zone on the bar tip. A reduced-kickback guide bar has been demonstrated to significantly reduce the number and seriousness of kickbacks when tested in accordance with safety requirements for gasoline powered chainsaws as set by ANSI B175.1.

A low-kickback chain is designed with a contoured depth gauge and guard link which deflect kickback force and allow wood to gradually ride into the cutter. Low-kickback chain has met kickback performance requirements when tested on a representative sample of chainsaws below 3.8 cubic inch displacement specified in ANSI B175.1.

■ FRONT HAND GUARD

The front hand guard is designed to reduce the chance of your left hand contacting the chain if your hand slips off the front handlebar.

The distance and “in-line” position of the hands provided by the front and rear handles work together to give balance and resistance in controlling the pivot of the saw back toward the operator if kickback occurs.

■ CHAIN BRAKE

The chain brake is designed to stop the chain in the event of kickback.

NOTE: We do not represent and you should not assume that the chain brake will protect you in the event of a kickback. Do not rely upon any of the devices built into your saw. You should use the saw properly and carefully to avoid kickback.

Repairs on a chain brake should be made by an authorized servicing dealer. Take your unit to the place of purchase if purchased from a servicing dealer, or to the nearest authorized master service dealer.

NOTE: If this saw is to be used for commercial logging, a chain brake is required and shall not be removed or otherwise disabled to comply with Federal OSHA Regulations for Commercial Logging.

ASSEMBLY

If received assembled, repeat all steps to ensure your saw is properly assembled and all fasteners are secure.

1. Check that the chain brake is in the unlocked position by pulling the front hand guard towards the front handle.

Line drawing of a chain-linker with motion arrow indicating clockwise motion (no text or symbols)

1. Loosen and remove the bar nuts and the clutch cover from the saw.

2. Remove the plastic shipping spacer (A) if present.

1. An adjusting pin and screw is used to adjust the tension of the chain. It is very important when assembling the bar that the adjusting pin located on the adjusting screw aligns into a hole in the bar. Turning the screw will move the adjusting pin up and down the screw. Locate this adjusting pin before you begin mounting the bar onto the saw. See following illustration.

1. Turn the adjusting screw by hand counterclockwise until the adjusting pin is positioned between the indicator marks (B) on the clutch cover. This should allow the adjusting pin to be near the correct position.

2. Slide guide bar with chain on bar bolts until guide bar stops against clutch drum sprocket. Cutters must face in the direction of rotation.

1. Check that the drive links of the chain fit correctly on the drive sprocket and that the chain is in the groove on the bar.
2. Fit the clutch cover and insert the adjusting pin in the cut-out in the bar.

3. Tighten the bar nut finger-tight.

4. Tension the chain by turning the chain tensioning screw clockwise using the combination tool. The chain is correctly tensioned when it does not sag from the underside of the bar, but can still be turned easily by hand.

1. Hold up the bar tip and tighten the bar nuts with the combination tool.

When fitting a new chain, the chain tension has to be checked frequently until the chain is run-in. Check the chain tension regularly. A correctly tensioned chain ensures good cutting performance and long life.

STARTING AND STOPPING

Perform the following steps before every use of the machine:

• Check fuel mixture level
• Check bar lubrication
• Check chain sharpness

NOTE: Chain sharpening is a complicated task that requires special tools. We recommend that you refer chain sharpening to a professional chain sharpener.

• Check chain tension
• Inspect and clean the guide bar
• Check for damaged parts
• Check for loose caps
• Check for loose fasteners
• Check for loose parts
• Check for fuel and oil leaks

NOTE: It is normal for a small amount of oil to appear under the saw after the engine stops. Do not confuse this with a leaking oil tank.

FUELING THE ENGINE

WARNING! Be sure to read the fuel handling information in the safety rules section of this manual before you begin. If you do not understand the fuel handling information do not attempt to fuel your unit. Seek help from someone that does understand the information or call the consumer assistance help line.

WARNING! Remove the fuel cap slowly when fueling.

This equipment is designed to operate on unleaded gasoline with a minimum 87 octane (R+M/2 method), with ethanol blended up to 10% maximum by volume (E-10).

Before operation, gasoline must be mixed with a good quality full synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil designed to be mixed at a ratio of 50:1.

A 50:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 2.6 fluid ounces of full synthetic oil with 1 gallon of unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE automotive oil or marine oil. These oils will cause engine damage.

When mixing fuel, follow the instructions printed on the container. Once the oil is added to the gasoline, shake the container momentarily to assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed.

Fill the fuel tank completely with properly mixed fuel.

Always read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel before fueling your unit.

Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

HELPFUL TIP

During storage of your fuel mixture, the oil will separate from the gasoline.

Shake the fuel can weekly to insure proper blending of the gasoline and oil.

CAUTION: Never use unmixed gasoline in your unit. This will cause permanent engine damage and void the limited warranty.

CAUTION: Do not use alternate fuels such as ethanol blends above 10% by volume (E-15, E-85) or any methanol blended fuel. Use of these fuels can cause major engine performance problems and void the limited warranty.

BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION

The bar and chain require continuous lubrication. Lubrication is provided by the automatic oiler system when the oil tank is kept filled. Lack of oil will quickly ruin the bar and chain. Too little oil will cause overheating shown by smoke coming from the chain and/or discoloration of the bar. 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.

If bar and chain oil is not available, use a good grade SAE 30 oil.

Fill the oil tank completely with oil.

CAUTION: Never use waste oil for bar and chain lubrication.

CAUTION: Always stop the engine before removing the oil cap.

STARTING POSITION

Illustration of a person using a power tool to cut a saw (no text or symbols present)

1. Lay the chainsaw on a flat surface. The cutting attachment must not be in contact with the ground.
2. Lock the chain brake by pushing forward on the handguard.
3. Place your left hand on the handlebar and your right hand on the starter rope. Push your right foot into the rear handle to stabilize the chainsaw.
4. Follow the starting instructions.

STARTING

Follow these instructions to start your chainsaw. Your chainsaw has a starting reminder decal similar to the one shown below:

■ Starting a Cold Engine

Make sure the chain brake is locked before starting.

Press the primer (air purge) bulb 10 times until fuel begins to fill the bulb. The primer (air purge) bulb does not need to be completely filled.

Pull the blue choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position. The red ON/STOP switch will be switched automatically to the ON position.

Using your right hand, pull the starter rope sharply until the machine attempts to start, or a maximum of 5 times.

NOTE: If the engine sounds as if it is trying to start before the fifth pull, stop pulling and immediately proceed to the next step.

NOTE: Do not attempt to cut material with the choke/fast idle lever in the FULL CHOKE position.

Push the blue choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.

NOTE: In temperatures above 90^irc F ( 32^irc C), push the blue choke lever completely in.

Pull the starter rope sharply with your right hand until the engine starts.

Allow the engine to run for 30 seconds.

Before accelerating to full throttle, pull the front hand guard towards the front handle. The chain brake is now unlocked. Your chainsaw is now ready for use.

WARNING! The chain must not move when the engine runs at idle speed. If the chain moves at idle speed refer to CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT within this manual.

WARNING! Do not attempt to throw or drop-start the chainsaw. Doing so will put the operator at risk of serious injury due to loss of control of the chainsaw.

WARNING! The muffler is very hot during and after use. Do not touch the muffler or allow combustible material such as dry grass or fuel to do so.

HELPFUL TIP

If your engine still does not start after following the instructions, contact consumer assistance.

■ Starting a Warm Engine

Make sure the chain brake is locked before starting.

Press the primer (air purge) bulb 10 times until fuel begins to fill the bulb. The primer (air purge) bulb does not need to be completely filled.

Pull the blue choke lever to the FULL CHOKE position.

Push the blue choke lever to the HALF CHOKE position.

NOTE: In temperatures above 90^irc F ( 32^irc C), push the blue choke lever completely in.

Pull the starter rope sharply with your right hand until the engine starts.

Before accelerating to full throttle, pull the front hand guard towards the front handle. The chain brake is now unlocked. Your chainsaw is now ready for use.

■ Starting a Flooded Engine

The engine may be flooded with too much fuel if it has not started after 10 pulls.

Flooded engines can be restarted by pushing the blue choke lever in completely to the OFF CHOKE position and then following the warm engine starting procedure listed above. Ensure the red ON/STOP switch is in the ON position.

Starting could require pulling the starter rope handle many times depending on how badly the unit is flooded. If the engine fails to start, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE or call the consumer assistance help line.

CHAIN TENSION

It is normal for a new chain to stretch during the first 15 minutes of operation. You should check your chain tension each time before you start the chainsaw. See the chain tensioning instructions in the ASSEMBLY section.

WARNING! If the saw is operated with a loose chain, the chain could jump off the guide bar and result in serious injury to the operator and/or damage the chain, making it unusable.

The chain brake must be checked before each use. The engine must be running when performing this procedure.

This is the only instance when the saw should be placed on the ground with the engine running.

1. Place the saw on firm ground.
2. Grip the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand.
3. Apply full throttle by fully depressing the throttle trigger.
4. Activate the chain brake by turning your left wrist toward the hand guard without releasing your grip around the front handle. The chain should stop immediately.

CHECKING THE INERTIA ACTIVATING FUNCTION CONTROL

WARNING! When performing the following procedure, the engine must be turned off.

1. Grip the rear handle with your right hand and the front handle with your left hand.
2. Hold the chainsaw approximately 16-18 inches (40-45 centimeters) above a stump or other wooden surface.
3. Release your grip on the front handle and use the weight of the saw to let the tip of the guide bar fall forward and contact the stump. When the tip of the bar hits the stump, the brake should activate.

WORKING TECHNIQUES

PRACTICING YOUR CUTS

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.

• Squeeze the throttle trigger and allow the engine to reach full speed before cutting.
• Begin cutting with the saw frame against the log.
• Keep the engine at full speed the entire time you are cutting.
• Allow the chain to cut for you. Exert only light downward pressure. If you force the cut, damage to the guide bar, chain, or engine can result.
• Release the throttle trigger as soon as the cut is completed, allowing the engine to idle. If you run the saw at full throttle without a cutting load, unnecessary wear can occur to the chain, guide bar, and engine. It is recommended that the engine not be operated for longer than 30 seconds at full throttle.
• To avoid losing control when cut is complete, do not put pressure on saw at end of cut.
• Stop the engine before setting the saw down after cutting.

FELLING A TREE

■ PLANNING

WARNING! Check for broken or dead branches which can fall while cutting causing serious injury. Do not cut near buildings or electrical wires if you do not know the direction of tree fall, nor cut at night since you will not be able to see well, nor during bad weather such as rain, snow, or strong winds, etc. If the tree makes contact with any utility line, the utility company should be notified immediately.

Carefully plan your sawing operation in advance.

Clear the work area. You need a clear area all around the tree so you can have secure footing.

The chainsaw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.

Study the natural conditions that can cause the tree to fall in a particular direction.

Natural conditions that can cause a tree to fall in a particular direction include:

• The wind direction and speed.
- The lean of the tree. The lean of a tree might not be apparent due to uneven or sloping terrain. Use a plumb or level to determine the direction of tree lean.
• Weight and branches on one side.
• Surrounding trees and obstacles.

Look for decay and rot. If the trunk is rotted, it can snap and fall toward the operator. Check for broken or dead branches which can fall on you while cutting.

Make sure there is enough room for the tree to fall. Maintain a distance of 2-1/2 tree lengths from the nearest person or other objects. Engine noise can drown out a warning call.

■ USING THE NOTCH METHOD

The notch method is used to fell large trees. A notch is cut on the side of the tree in the desired direction of fall. After a felling cut is made on the opposite side of tree, the tree will tend to fall into the notch.

NOTE: If the tree has large buttress roots, remove them before making the notch. If using saw to remove buttress roots, keep saw chain from contacting ground to prevent dulling of the chain.

Make the notch cut by cutting the top of the notch first. Cut through 1/3 of the diameter of the tree. Next complete the notch by cutting the bottom of the notch. Once the notch is cut remove the notch of wood from the tree.

After removing the wood from the notch, make the felling cut on the opposite side of the notch. This is done by making a cut about two inches (5 cm) higher than the center of the notch. This will leave enough uncut wood between the felling cut and the notch to form a hinge. This hinge will help prevent the tree from falling in the wrong direction.

NOTE: Before felling cut is complete, use wedges to open the cut if necessary to control the direction of fall. To avoid kickback and

chain damage, use wood or plastic wedges, but never steel or iron wedges.

Be alert to signs that the tree is ready to fall: cracking sounds, widening of the felling cut, or movement in the upper branches.

As tree starts to fall, stop saw, put it down, and get away quickly on your planned retreat path.

DO NOT cut down a partially fallen tree with your saw. Be extremely cautious with partially fallen trees that may be poorly supported. When a tree doesn't fall completely, set the saw aside and pull down the tree with a cable winch, block and tackle, or tractor.

CUTTING A FALLEN TREE (BUCKING)

Bucking is the term used for cutting a fallen tree to the desired log size.

WARNING! Do not stand on the log being cut. Any portion can roll causing loss of footing and control. Do not stand downhill of the log being cut.

■ IMPORTANT POINTS

• Cut only one log at a time.
• Cut shattered wood very carefully; sharp pieces of wood could be flung toward operator.
• Use a sawhorse to cut small logs. Never allow another person to hold the log while cutting and never hold the log with your leg or foot.
• Do not cut in an area where logs, limbs, and roots are tangled such as in a blown down area. Drag the logs into a clear area before cutting by pulling out exposed and cleared logs first.
• Make sure the chain will not strike the ground or any other object during or after cutting.

WARNING! If saw becomes pinched or hung in a log, don't try to force it out. You can lose control of the saw resulting in injury and/or damage to the saw. Stop the saw, drive a wedge of plastic or wood into the cut until the saw can be removed easily. Restart the saw and carefully reenter the cut. To avoid kickback and chain damage, do not use a metal wedge. Do not attempt to restart your saw when it is pinched or hung in a log.

■ TYPES OF BUCKING CUTS

Overcutting begins on the top side of the log with the bottom of the saw against the log. When overcutting use light downward pressure.

Undercutting involves cutting on the underside of the log with top of saw against the log. When undercutting use light upward pressure. Hold saw firmly and maintain control. The saw will tend to push back toward you.

WARNING! Never turn saw upside down to undercut. The saw cannot be controlled in this position.

Always make your first cut on the compression side of the log. The compression side of the log is where the pressure of the log's weight is concentrated.

■BUCKING WITHOUT A SUPPORT

1. Overcut through 1/3 of the diameter of the log.
2. Roll the log over and finish with a second overcut.

NOTE: Watch for logs with a compression side to prevent the saw from pinching.

■ BUCKING USING A LOG OR SUPPORT STAND

1. Make the first cut on the compression side of the log. Your first cut should extend 1/3 of the diameter of the log.
2. Finish with your second cut.

LIMBING AND PRUNING

WARNING! Be alert for and guard against kickback. Do not allow the moving chain to contact any other branches or objects at the nose of the guide bar when limbing or pruning. Allowing such contact can result in serious injury.

WARNING! Never climb into a tree to limb or prune. Do not stand on ladders, platforms, a log, or in any position which can cause you to lose your balance or control of the saw.

■ IMPORTANT POINTS

• Work slowly, keeping both hands firmly gripped on the saw. Maintain secure footing and balance.
• Watch out for springpoles. Springpoles are small size limbs which can catch the saw chain and whip toward you or pull you off balance. Use extreme caution when cutting small size limbs or slender material.
• 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.
• Keep a clear work area. Frequently clear branches out of the way to avoid tripping over them.

■ LIMBING

Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only then can limbing be done safely and properly.

Leave the larger limbs underneath the felled tree to support the tree as you work.

Start at the base of the felled tree and work toward the top, cutting branches and limbs. Remove small limbs with one cut.

Keep the tree between you and the chain. Cut from the side of the tree opposite the branch you are cutting.

Remove larger, supporting branches with the cutting techniques described in BUCKING WITHOUT A SUPPORT.

Always use an overcut to cut small and freely hanging limbs. Undercutting could cause limbs to fall and pinch the saw.

■ PRUNING

WARNING! Limit pruning to limbs shoulder height or below. Do not cut if branches are higher than your shoulder. Get a professional to do the job.

1. Make the first cut one-third of the way through the bottom of the limb.
2. Make the second cut all the way through the limb.
3. Make the third overcut leaving a 1 to 2 inch (2.5 to 5 cm) collar from the trunk of the tree.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

■ GUIDE BAR

Conditions which require guide bar maintenance:

• Saw cuts to one side or at an angle.
• Saw has to be forced through the cut.
• Inadequate supply of oil to bar/chain.

Check the condition of guide bar each time chain is sharpened. A worn guide bar will damage the chain and make cutting difficult.

After each use, ensure ON/STOP switch is in the STOP position, then clean all sawdust from the guide bar and sprocket hole.

To maintain guide bar:

1. Move ON/STOP switch to STOP.
2. Loosen and remove bar nuts and clutch cover. Remove bar and chain from saw.
3. Clean the oil holes (A) and bar groove (B).

1. Burring of guide bar rails is a normal process of rail wear. Remove these burrs with a flat file.
2. When rail top is uneven, use a flat file to restore square edges and sides.

Replace guide bar when the groove is worn, the guide bar is bent or cracked, or when excess heating or burring of the rails occurs. If replacement is necessary, use only the guide bar specified for your saw in the repair parts list or on the decal located on the chainsaw.

Inspect and clean the unit and decals

After each use, inspect complete unit for loose or damaged parts. Clean the unit and decals using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.

Wipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.

Check the chain brake

See CHAIN BRAKE in the OPERATION section.

■ MUFFLER

As the unit is used, carbon deposits build up on the muffler and spark arresting screen, and must

be removed to avoid creating a fire hazard or affecting engine performance.

Replace the spark arresting screen if breaks occur.

1. Loosen and remove the nut (A) from the exhaust outlet cover (B).
2. Remove the exhaust outlet cover.
3. Remove the spark arresting screen (C). Handle the screen carefully to prevent damage.

■ CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENT

WARNING! The chain will be moving during most of this procedure. Wear your protective equipment and observe all safety precautions. The chain must not move at idle speed.

Indications for idle speed adjustment

The carburetor has been carefully set at the factory. Adjustments may be necessary if you notice any of the following conditions:

• The chain moves at idle. See IDLE SPEED-T ADJUSTMENT procedure.
• The saw will not idle. See IDLE SPEED-T ADJUSTMENT procedure.

Idle speed-T adjustment

Allow the engine to idle. If the chain moves, the idle is too fast. If the engine stalls, the idle is too slow.

Adjust the speed until the engine runs without chain movement (idle too fast) or stalling (idle too slow).

The idle speed screw is located in the area above the primer (air purge) bulb and is labeled "T".

Turn the idle speed screw (T) clockwise to increase the engine speed.

Turn the idle speed screw (T) counterclockwise to decrease the engine speed.

STORAGE

WARNING! Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Secure the unit before storing or transporting it in a vehicle. Store the unit and fuel in an area where fuel vapors cannot reach sparks or open flames from water heaters, electric motors, switches, furnaces, etc.

WARNING! Store the unit with all guards in place. Position so that any sharp object cannot accidentally cause injury to passersby. Store the unit out of reach of children.

• Before storing, drain all fuel from the unit. Start the engine and allow it to run until it runs completely out of fuel.
• Clean the unit before storing. Pay particular attention to the air intake area, keeping it free of debris. Use a mild detergent and sponge to clean the plastic surfaces.
• Ensure the machine is cleaned and that a complete service is carried out before long-term storage.
• The guide bar and chain should be covered with a scabbard when the machine is being transported or in storage in order to prevent accidental contact with the sharp chain. Even a non-moving chain can cause serious cuts to yourself or others that make contact with an exposed chain.

CAUTION: It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or fuel tank during storage. Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol) or using ethanol or methanol can attract moisture which leads to fuel mixture separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the engine.

TECHNICAL DATA

The computed kickback angle (CKA) listed on your saw and listed in the CKA table below represents angle of kickback your bar and chain combinations will have when tested in accordance with CSA (Canadian Standards Association) and ANSI standards. When purchasing replacement bar and chain, considerations should be given to the lower CKA values. Lower CKA values represent safer angles to the user, higher values indicate more angle and higher kick energies. Computed angles represented indicate total energy and angle associated without activation of the chain brake during kickback. Activated angle represents chain stopping time relative to activation angle of chain break and resulting kick angle of saw. In all cases lower CKA values represent a safer operating environment for the user.

The following guide bar and chain combinations meet kickback requirements of CSA Standards Z62.1, Z62.3, & ANSI B175.1 when used on saws listed in this manual. Use of bar and chain combinations other than those listed is not recommended and may not meet the CKA requirements per standard.
