4-2. TO STOP MOTOR

The saw motor wiN automalicaily stop

when the trigger is released. The LOCK/

OFF button will have to be depressed and

the trigger squeezed to restart the motor.

4-3. CHAIN AND BAR LUBRICATION

Adequate iubrication of the saw chain

during cutting operations is essential to

minimize friction with the guide bar.

Your chain saw is equipped with an

automatic oiler system.

The oiler automatically delivers the proper

amount of oil to the bar and chain. There is

no flow adjustment,

The oif tank level can be checked in the

inspection slot {A} provided on the right

Side of the saw. Tank is full when oil is at

the top of the slot (Figure 4-3A).

CAUTION

Never starve the bar and chain of

lubrication oil. Running the saw DRY or

with TOO LITTLE OIL will decrease cutting

efficiency, shorten chain saw life, and

cause rapid dulling of the chain and

excessive wear of the bar from

overheating. Too iittie is evidenced by

smoke or bar discoloration.

NOTE: The saw chain stretches during

use, particuiarly when it is new, and

occasional adjustment will be needed.

A new chain requires more frequent

adjustment during the break-in period. This

is normal. See Section 3-4, Saw Chain

Tension Adjustment instructions,

WARNING / CAUTION

A loose chain can jump off the bar while

you are cutting, as well as wear the bar

and chain. A chain that is too tight can

damage the saw. Either situation, chain too

loose or too tight, could cause serious

personal injury.

4-4. CHAIN BRAKB^ / HAND GUARD

This Poulan chain saw is equipped with

chain brake/hand guard.

The Hand Guard protects your left hand in

the event it slips off the front handle.

The CHAIN BRAKE® is a safety feature

which is activated if pressure is applied

against the guard or when, in the event of

kickback, the operator’s hand strikes the

lever. When the CHAIN BRAKE® is

activated, chain movement abruptly stops

and the power supply to the motor is

immediately cut off.

The purpose of the CHAIN BRAKE® is to

reduce the possibility of injury due to

kickback. The CHAIN BRAKE® cannot,

however, provide the measure of intended

protection if the saw is carelessly operated.

The CHAIN BRAKE® is disengaged (chain

can move) when the brake is pulled back

and locked. This is the norma! running

position (Figure 4-4A).

The CHAIN BRAKE® is engaged (chain

cannot move) when the brake is in forward

position (Figure 4-4B),

NOTE: The motor will not start if the

CHAIN BRAKE® is in the engaged

position.

CAUTION

The CHAIN BRAKE® should not be used

for starting and stopping the saw during

normal operation.

CHAIN BRAKES TEST

Before cutting with your saw, the CHAIN

BRAKE® shouid be tested as follows:

A. Make sure the CHAiN BRAKE® is

disengaged (Figure 4-4A).

Place the saw on a firm, flat, dry

surface that is clear of any debris. Do

not let the saw come in contact with

any objects.

Plug the unit into the power source.

Grasp the front handle (not the CHAIN

BRAKE*/Hand Guard Lever) with your

left hand. Thumb and fingers should

encircle the handle.
