  • Starts easy. Good saw for the money.
The only thing I wish this saw has is a chain catcher. Starts easy and runs well. Compared to a Husqvarna 235 it starts a lot easier. This Poulan is not nearly as sturdy as the Husqvarna but as long as you don't drop it out of a tree it should not be an issue. If it's not abused it should hold up fine. Has about the same power as the smaller 35cc engine as the 235. it's easier to change the bar and chain on the Poulan. The Oil and Gas tank openings are bigger/better on the Poulan as well. I've had homelites, Poulans and a Husqvarna, and as long as it's built good enough, I would not spend more. Walmart bar/chain kits fit it just so you know. ... show more

  • Poulan Pro PR4218
I Have Had Many Of These. I Think The {PR} 4218 is Better than the Previous {PP} 4218. I Read A Lot Of Bad Reviews, Saying Stuff Like They Are Hard To Crank. I Haven't Had That Experience. Use Only Non-Ethanol Gas On Any Chainsaw and Only Use Poulan Pro Bar and Chain Oil, (Not Just Poulan, but Poulan Pro Bar And Chain Oil ~ Poulan Pro 952030204 Bar and Chain Oil - Save Money By Buying It By The Gallon $18.46) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005K8Y0X0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also Only Use Poulan Pro Oil For the Gas Mixture. It Says that I Can Run On a 50:1 Gas / Oil Mixture, but I Run Mine A Little Richer, (Because The Older PP Model Said To Run It On a 40:1 Gas / Oil Mixture) and The Chainsaw Lasts Longer Years With A Little Richer Mix, (Even If It Says That With the Synthetic Oil You Can Run It at 50:1 Gas / Oil Mixture). I'm Not a Big Fan Of Synthetic Oil, So I Find The Original Poulan Pro Poulan WeedEater 40:1 And I Use That Instead of the Synthetic Oil 50:1 Gal / Oil Mixture. Then Follow The Instructions Written Right On the Chainsaw. It Said To Pump the Gas 10 Times, {On the PP Models}, It Says Pump The Gas 6 Times on The Newer Model #967063801. What I Find If The Temperature Is 70 Degrees Plus, Then Pumping the Gas 6 Times Is Enough. Then Pull The Choke All The Way Out And Lightly Pull The Cord 5 Times, (Again, If the Temperature Is Moderate, You Can Lightly Pull The Cord Only 2-4 Times, Usually 3 Times). When You Feel The Compression Tugging Against Your Pull and It Makes a Sound Like It Almost Wants To Crank, Maybe Lightly Pull Just One More Time and Then Bump The Choke With Your Thump To Half Choke, {If the Choke Goes All The Way In, Then Pull The Choke Adjustment Control and And Bump It Back to Half-Choke} and Then Lock The Chainsaw Between Your Knees and Pull Hard With Your Right Hand and It Cranks Right Away. After The Chainsaw Is Warmed Up, Unless You Open The Gas Cap and Let The Vacuum Escape, You Can Just Go Immediately To Half-Choke and Crank With Having To Pump Up The Gas, {Unless You Let The Chainsaw Sit For a Few Minutes or If The Temperature Is Very Cold}. This Poulan Pro PR4218 Comes With A Scrench, {SCrewDriver ~ wRENCH Combo}, and a Built-In Holder and This Is So Awesome and Very Convenient. However, If You Are Sawing Way Up In the Air On A Tree Branch, and It Falls Out, You May Lose It or Need It. Also, If You're Cutting The Fallen Small Limbs Often Times It Falls Out and I Have Had To Go Back Through the Limbs and Find It. So, I Just Store Mine In the Case From Now On. [You Might Could Device A Way For It To Stay In Place, Or Duck Tape It... But Then It Would Get Sticky]. One Other Note: If You Are Cutting A Large Limb Way Up High Or On A Ladder, Then The Light Weight of This Chainsaw Is A Plus. There Are Bigger Chainsaws Like Stihl & Husqvarna, and Even a 20" Poulan... and They Cut Faster, But, When I Make The Undercut on a Large Limp, I Prefer Going a Little Slower So That I Don't Accidently Cut Too Much and Pinch The Limb and Get the Chainsaw Stuck, And Those Chainsaws That Cut Like Butter, Usually Weigh A Lot More, and That's also More Weight To Carry Up the Tree and More Weight To Handle. One Last Note: If You Are Cutting The Large Branches, Keep the Chainsaw Snug With About 3/4" Play on The Chain, but If You Are Cutting A Lot Of the Smaller Limbs Stacked On Top Of Each Other, then Keep the Chainsaw Very Tight With Only an 1/4 Inch Play, {The Chain Will Also Tighten Up If It Gets Hot, So You Might Have To Loosen The Chain After It Gets Hot and Then Go Again}. Bonus: Use Stihl Chains: They Have More Steel On Each Tooth and Therefore Last A Lot Longer. But Not All Stihl 18 Chains Will Work, They Have To Be, "Picco" Which Mean "Micro". They Now Put "Micro" On the Box. Oilomatic STIHL Part #: 3613-005-0062 ~ STIHL 18" CHAIN LOOP (.375 X .050) 63PMC 62 DL ~ (63 PMC 62) ~ Picco Micro, {Cuts Faster, Dulls Faster}... This Is My Preferred Chain. Oilomatic STIHL Part #: 3636-005-0062 ~ STIHL 18" CHAIN LOOP (.375 X .050) 63PMC3 62 DL ~ Picco Micro, {$22.82}, {Cuts A Little Slower, Stays Sharp Longer} Oilomatic STIHL Part #: 3616-005-0062 ~ PS3 ~ {Saftey Chain ~ Cuts A Little Slower, Stays Sharp Longer} One Last Thing, At the Beginning or at End of The Cutting Season, Put In an Ounce or so Of Berryman Products B-12 Chemtool Carburetor, or Sea Foam Motor Treatment, {Both Are Great}, Because Gas that Sits Around Tends To Turn to a Varnishing Is A Gummy Residue That Clogs The Generator Carburetor And Fuel Pump. You Even Do This More Often, but It Will Make The Chainsaw Smoke, and Don't Rev It Up But Let It Idle For A While, {You Might Have To Manually Control The Idle}. Which Reminds Me Of One Con. This Poulan Pro PR4218 Chainsaw Doesn't Idle Well, and Usually Stalls. But, that Is Alright With Me, As I Don't Want It Idling Up In a Tree or on Top Of a Ladder. When I'm Done, I Use the Kill Switch. But, It Will Idle for a Couple of Minutes, Long Enough to Go From My Bottom Cut To the Final Cut. You Can Adjust The Idle, But It Might Change How Rich The Fuel Is. I Figure That Poulan Knows The Right Amount Richness. Advice: Consider Buying Chainsaw Chaps. It's A Good Idea To Wear a Face Shield All The Time, But Especially If Working Overhead, Wear Goggles or a Safety Helmet With A Shield or an N-95 Dusk Mask or You'll Get SawDusk Shot Into Your Face and Eyes, The Helmet and Screen Shields Don't Fog Up. Most Leg Injuries Occur On The Legs. Run The Saw Right Up To The Teeth on the Saw and Let The Saw Do The Work. To Avoid Kickbacks, Don't Use The Tip of the Bar. Aim the Saw So that If It Does Kick Back, It Will Come to the Right Of Your Head Near Your Shoulder and Not Your Face. Know Where the The Brake and The Kill Switch Is. Wear Gloves and Be Familiar With How To Bump the Brake To Off With The Back Of Your Hand. Use Your Middle Finger For The Throttle as It Is More Comfortable. Always Plan Your Escape Route and Make Sure That There Are No Obstacles or Limbs In Your Way, (You Might Have To Stop and Pick Up Limbs or Have a Helper To Get The Limbs Out Of The Way and Wait On Them To Clear the Area Before You Engage Again}.

  • Good for homeowners.
Upkeep , upkeep and a few upgrades, and adjustments , ALL chainsaws require upkeep, etc. keep bar n chain oil in it. Always keep an eye on chain tension, at first runs of new chainsaw especially. Watch vids from professionals on how to handle and cut. great idea to wear protective gear and wear. I always replace the bar and chain (semi chisel for me) with Oregon brand. OEM bar on this is very cheap, vibrated upon first use. Use ANY bar oil you choose. Mine also would not idle so a carb adj. was needed. there are other excellent brands of bars & chains out there but experimenting with others cost me more than if I had just stuck with Oregon. Find a good brand and stick with it. Anyway a decent chainsaw for the money for light to medium duty, tho I have felled a few big-uns with it. I’d give it a 4.5 star understanding what it is intended for. ... show more

  • You Get Yourself In Trouble Now or Later, If you Ever Buy this!
Wow! I can never imagine that a buyer could go through hell just for spending his own money to buy a needed item but which happened to be completely non-functional! This chain-saw was brought brand new out of the box, it started briefly and then it stopped, started again the second time and then got engaged, stalled, and will no longer run. And then, the manageability of this item as described in the product listing is completely false. This item will get you exhausted and frustrated trying to get it function properly. It is not as easy and light to operate as described! The worst aspect of it is, you are tricked to buy this item without an open notice that it will not be accepted back should you have any reason to return it. It is not stated on the listing nor the check-out page that this item is non-returnable. You are tricked to buy, once you have any issue with it, Amazon will refuse flatly that "due to safety concern" the item cannot be returned. I passed through hell trying to persuade Amazon to see reason why my money should not be lost because an item bought from them is not functional. I started getting very discourteous responses like abrupt ending of chats while still typing, curt and rude responses on phone, repetitive emails that do not address the real issue you have but just summarily informing you that "the item is NON-RETURNABLE etc. Amazon insist I must get to the manufacturer to have this issue resolved. I did. The manufacturer asked me to talk with their experts. I contacted all the centers given in my State but they all said they cannot rectify since the item was bought from Amazon and not from their center. I returned back to the manufacturer and at that point the manufacturer asked me to return back to Amazon and process a refund or an exchange. I got back to Amazon, forwarded the manufacturer's email to them, sent them several photographs as they requested, still, Amazon INSIST that since this item is categorized as "Non-Returnable", it cannot be returned, and there is nothing they can do about it, just like that.. Money lost! Let me just summarize by saying that this current issue that I have with Amazon is a revelation of the true nature of Amazon's operation and customer service; and I wish the next person trying to buy this item or any such like this will learn from this experience and avoid falling into same ditch! I used to think anyone can relaxedly buy anything from Amazon with confidence that Amazon will always stand by any product they sell! How wrong that was! I am just getting to know that you may only expect such humane treatment from Amazon only on penny-worth items. Should you have issues with higher cost items, at that point, you will get to know that Amazon can brutally refuse to stand by some products they sell, and they will never assume any responsibility! ... show more
