General Recommendations - Poulan Pro 115153026 Instruction Manual

LIMBING
S Always limb a tree after it is cut down. Only
then can limbing be done safely and prop-
erly.
S Leave the larger limbs underneath the felled
tree to support the tree as you work.
S Start at the base of the felled tree and work
toward the top, cutting branches and limbs.
Remove small limbs with one cut.
S Keep the tree between you and the chain.
Cut from the side of the tree opposite the
branch you are cutting.
S Remove larger, supporting branches with
the cutting techniques described in BUCK-
ING WITHOUT A SUPPORT.
S Always use an overcut to cut small and free-
ly hanging limbs. Undercutting could cause
limbs to fall and pinch the saw.
WARNING:
Disconnect the spark
plug before performing maintenance except
for carburetor adjustments.
We recommend all service and adjustments
not listed in this manual be performed by an
authorized or Master Service Dealer.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this unit does not cover
items that have been subjected to operator
abuse or negligence. To receive full value
from the warranty, the operator must main-
tain unit as instructed in this manual. Various
adjustments will need to be made periodical-
ly to properly maintain your unit.
