If you do not understand the electrical safety information do not attempt to use your unit. Seek help from someone that does understand the information or call the customer assistance help line at 1-800-554-6723. GUIDE BAR AND CHAIN OIL The bar and chain require lubrication. The manually--operated chain oiler provides lubrication to the chain and guide bar. Be sure to fill the bar oil tank before each cutting session. The oiler activator/bar oil cap must be used regularly and often enough to maintain a thin film of oil on the bar and chain while saw is cutting. It is recommended that the oiler actuator/bar oil cap be operated every ten (10) seconds and held for approximately three (3) seconds each time it is pressed. For maximum guide bar and chain life, we recommend you use Poulan chain saw bar oil. 8 TREE FELLING TECHNIQUES 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, strong winds, etc. If the tree makes contact with any utility line, the utility complany should be notified immediately. S Carefully plan your sawing operation in advance. You need a clear area all around the tree so you can have secure footing. S The chain saw operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the tree is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled. S Study the natural conditions that can cause the tree to fall in a particular direction, such as: S The wind direction and speed. 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. If the trunk is rotted, it can snap and fall toward the operator. S 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. [. . . ] Be sure the tab on the bar clamp plate is toward the rear of bar.
