Poulan Pro 2250 Operator's Manual V2

To start the Poulan Pro 2250 Chainsaw, ensure the chain brake is engaged, switch the choke to full, press the primer bulb 6 times, pull the starter cord until the engine attempts to start, then move the choke to half position and pull again until the engine runs.
The recommended fuel mix for the Poulan Pro 2250 Chainsaw is a 40:1 ratio of gasoline to two-cycle oil. This means 3.2 ounces of oil per gallon of gasoline.
If the chainsaw won't start, check the fuel level and condition, inspect the spark plug for wear or damage, ensure the air filter is clean, and verify that the kill switch is in the 'on' position.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the air filter, checking and tightening the chain, inspecting the spark plug, and cleaning the bar and chain after each use.
To sharpen the chain, use a round file that matches the chain's pitch. Secure the chainsaw, engage the chain brake, and file each cutter using even strokes, maintaining the correct angle.
If the chain comes off, check for proper tension, ensure the bar nuts are tight, inspect the drive sprocket for wear, and ensure the bar and chain are compatible and in good condition.
To adjust the chain tension, loosen the bar nuts slightly, adjust the tensioning screw until the chain fits snugly against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand, then retighten the bar nuts.
Use a high-quality bar and chain oil specifically designed for chainsaws to ensure proper lubrication and performance.
To clean the air filter, remove the cover, take out the filter, and wash it with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly, let it dry, and reinstall it. Replace if excessively dirty or damaged.
Always wear protective gear including gloves, goggles, and ear protection. Ensure the area is clear of obstacles, maintain a firm grip, and be mindful of the kickback zone.
