S Do not handle or operate a pruner 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. If
you have any condition that might be
aggravated by strenuous work, check with
doctor before operating a pruner.
S Carefully plan your pruning operation in
advance. Do notstart cuttinguntil youhave
a clear work area, secure footing, and a
planned retreat path.
S Make certain the chain stops moving when
the throttle trigger is released. For
correction, refer to CARBURETOR
ADJUSTMENTS.
S Never modify your unit in any way.
S Keep the handles dry, clean, and free of oil
or fuel mixture.

If situations occur which are not covered in
this manual, use care and good judgment. If
youneedassistance, contact yourauthorized
service dealer or call 1-800-554-6723.
OPERATE YOUR PRUNER SAFELY
S Do not operate a pruner with one hand.
Serious injury to the operator, helpers,
bystanders or any combination of these
persons may result from one-handed
operation.
A
pruner is intended for
two-handed use.
S Operate the pruner only in a well-ventilated
outdoor area.
S Do not operate pruner from a ladder or in a
tree.
S Donotuseaprunertocut downtrees or any
portion of the tree trunk.
S Only use for pruning limbs or branches not
greater than 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter.
S Neverstandunderthelimb you arepruning.
Always position yourself out of the path of
falling debris.
S Donotcutsmall brush andsaplings withthe
pruner. Slender matter may catch in the
chain and be whipped toward you, pulling
you off balance.
S Make sure the chain will not make contact
with any object while starting the engine.
Never try to start the unit when the guide
bar is in a cut.
S Store the unit and fuel in an area wherefuel
vapors cannotreach sparks or openflames
from water heaters, electric motors or
switches, furnaces, etc.
KICKBACK
S Donotputpressureonthe prunerat theend
ofthecut. Applyingpressurecan causeyou
to lose control when the cut is completed.
S Do not run the unit at high speed when not
pruning.
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 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 chain in
the cut. Contacting a foreign object in the
wood can also result in loss of control.
S 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.
S Pinch-Kickbackcan occur whenthe wood
closes in and pinches the moving chain in
thecut alongthetop ofthe guidebar andthe
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 pruner to move in the opposite
direction of thechain rotation. The pruneris
driven straight back toward the operator.
S 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
S If you strike or become entangled with a
foreign object, stop the engine immediately
and check for damage. Have any damage
repaired by an authorized service dealer
before attempting further operations.
S Do not operate a pruner that is damaged,
improperly adjusted, or not completely and
securely assembled. Always replace bar
and chain immediately if it becomes
damaged, broken or is otherwise removed.
S Always stop the unit when work is delayed
or whenwalking from onecutting locationto
another. Stop the engine before setting the
unit down.
S Use only in daylight or good artificial light.
S Use only for jobs explained in this manual
(or manuals for optional attachments).
MAINTAIN YOUR PRUNER IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER
S Have all service performed by a qualified
service dealer with the exception of the
items listed in the maintenance section of
this manual.

chain is suddenly stopped. This sudden
stopping pulls the pruner forward and away
from the operator and could easily cause the
operator to lose control of the pruner.
S Stand with your weight evenly balanced on
both feet.
S Stand slightly to the left side of the prunerto
keep your body from being in a direct line
with the cutting chain.
REDUCE THE CHANCE OF
KICKBACK
KICKBACK SAFETY FEATURES
The following features are included on your
pruner to help reduce the hazard of kickback;
however, such features will not totally elimi-
natethis danger. As a pruneruser, do not rely
only on safety devices. You must follow all
safety precautions, instructions, and mainte-
nance in this manual to help avoid kickback
and other forces which can result in serious
injury.
S Recognize thatkickback can happen. With
a basic understandingof kickback, you can
reduce the element of surprise which
contributes to accidents.
S Never let the moving chain contact any
object at the tip of the guide bar.
S Keep the working area free from
obstructions suchas othertrees,branches,
rocks, stumps, etc. Eliminate or avoid any
obstruction that your chain could hit while
you are cutting. When cutting a branch, do
not let the guide bar contact branch or other
objects around it.
S Keep your 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 clamp nut is securely
tightened after tensioning the chain.
S Begin and continue cutting at full speed. If
the chainis movingat aslower speed,there
is greater chance of kickback occurring.
S Cut one branch at a time.
S Use extreme caution when re-entering a
previous cut.
S Do not attempt cuts starting with the tip of
the bar (plunge cuts).
S Watch for shifting of wood or other forces that
could close a cut and pinch or fall into chain.
S Use the Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar and
Low--Kickback Chain specified for your unit.
S Reduced--Kickback Guide Bar, designed
with a small radius tip which reduces the
size of thekickback dangerzone on the bar

Poulan/Weed Eater brand synthetic oil is
recommended. Mix gasoline and oil at a ratio
of 40:1. A 40:1 ratio is obtained by mixing 3.2
ounces (95 ml) of oil with 1 gallon (4 liters) of
unleaded gasoline. DO NOT USE automotive
oil or marine oil. These oils will cause engine
damage. When mixing fuel, follow instructions
printed on container. Once oil is added to
gasoline, shake container momentarily to
assure that the fuel is thoroughly mixed. Always
read and follow the safety rules relating to fuel
before fueling your unit.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
WARNING: Be sure to read the fuel
information in the safety rules before you be-
gin. If you do not understandthe safety rules,
do not attempt to fuel your unit. Call
1-800-554-6723.
FUELING ENGINE
WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly
when refueling.
BAR AND CHAIN LUBRICATION
The bar and chain require lubrication. The chain
oiler provides continuous lubrication to the chain
and guide bar. Be sure to fill the bar oil tank
when you fill the fuel tank (Capacity = 4.6 fl. oz.).
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 discolor-
ation of the bar. The oil output is automatically
metered during operation. Always fill the bar oil
tank when you fill the fuel tank.
HELPFUL TIP
To obtain the correct oil mix
ratio, pour 3.2 ounces of
2--cycle synthetic oil into
one gallon of fresh gas.
This engine is certified to operate on
unleaded gasoline. Before operation,
gasoline must be mixed with a good quality
synthetic 2-cycle air-cooled engine oil
designed to be mixed at a ratio of 40:1.
