The chain oiler provides lubrication to the chain and guide bar. Be sure to fill the bar oil tank before each cutting session. 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. For maximum guide bar and chain life, we recommend you use Poulan chain saw bar oil. If Poulan bar oil is not available, you may use a good grade SAE 30 oil until you are able to obtain Poulan brand. Check oil level after every 15 minutes of operation. STOPPING YOUR SAW S Release the trigger switch. S If motor does not stop, disconnect the extension cord. Discontinue use of the unit until it has been repaired by an authorized service dealer. STARTING YOUR SAW S Connect the saw to a power source using the proper size extension cord; see SELECT AN EXTENSION CORD in the OPERATION section). S Push and hold the trigger lock--out button with your right hand thumb. OPERATING TIPS S Check chain tension before first use and after 1 minute of operation. See CHECK CHAIN TENSION in the SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section. Do not cut metal, plastics, masonry, non-wood building materials, etc. S Stop the saw if the chain strikes a foreign object. Inspect the saw and repair parts as necessary. Even a small amount of dirt will quickly dull a chain and increase the possibility of kickback. S Practice cutting a few small logs using the following steps. [. . . ] CAUTION: If saw chain is installed backwards, the saw will vibrate excessively and will not cut wood. CHAIN ADJUSTMENT See CHECK CHAIN TENSION in the MAINTENANCE section. STORAGE WARNING: Perform the following steps after each use: S Allow motor to cool before storing or transporting.
