i was very disappointed when i went to pick this up from site to store, the item was clearly used and put back in the box to be sold as new. someone must have returned it and walmart did a very poor job re-packaging it...i had to return it on the spot and i went to home depot to buy it.

The past few years i have been forced to use only an axe and hatchet. The axe broke and it was cold here where i live so i got the saw fired it up and started using it. I have freinds with stihls,and echos,(great saws by the way) but all they do is sit around and look pretty. I have abused this saw and it has never failed me. Best by ever.

BOUGHT ONE OF THESE LAST FALL. wOULDN'T START ONCE STARTED WOULDN'T KEEP RUNNING. USED IT ONCE THEN TRIED TO USE IT AGAIN 3 WEEKS LATER BUT NEVER GOT IT TO START AGAIN. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME. BIGGEST PIECE OF JUNK ON THE PLANET. WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE FOR ANY REASON. IF YOU BUY ONE HOPE YOU HAVE LOTS OF TIME AND PATIENCE.

pass on this saw

My saw is very hard to start but after it gets going runs real well and can cut a long time until you turn it off after a while of use. Mine will not fire up until you let it cool down an hour or more. Great saw for a few branches, light storm clean up,and pruning but not very reliable for any thing else.I have used it for cutting fire wood until I purchased something else it can do the job with no problems plenty of power etc but has the problems stated before making it not very reliable.My recommendation stay away from all Poulan chain saws most have problems if you get a good one you are very lucky but it probably will not last long and not worth repairing if a major breakdown occurs.

Review 7 for Poulan 14'' Woodshark Chainsaw
Good first chainsaw

Had my reservations about picking up a cheap chainsaw but I only need one for very light duty: clearing branches, occasionally a small tree here and there (< 16" diameter), etc. The instructions for assembly are spot on as long as you take your time to read through carefully. Additionally, the start-up procedures are stickered on the unit which also helps those of us that do not use these things often.
The only thing preventing this from getting 5 stars is due to restart difficulty. For some reason, if you work for an hour or so and then turn it off for about 5 mins, it won't restart easily. And if you're doing that much work I would recommend a better chainsaw anyway. Overall, can't beat the price for this powerful little guy.

Assembled and working no thanks to Poulan.

I did not know that I would have to assemble the chainsaw when I ordered it but undertook to do so because a recent snowstorm had left many bushes and tree limbs broken. The first obstacle was in putting the blade on the saw. It did not go on as the instructions showed that it would. I called Poulan and the girl must have thought that I was an imbecile because her response was to read me the directions which I had already told her did not apply. She didn't have a clue as to what to do if she could not read the directions so I gave up with her and kept trying to put the blade on. The instructions spoke of a "bar" oil and I called to find out what a "bar" oil was since it only told me where the oil went, not what it was. Then there was something else I needed to find out but this time when I called Poulan I was put on a revolving multiple choice regime which was never ending. Apparently they had Caller ID and when you make over your limit in calls you get the computer that talks to you forever and says nothing. Finally, in exasperation, I went to my local Lowe's and talked to the salesman there who, in addition to be a sales rep, assembled the machinery for display. He asked me to bring in my chainsaw which I had just bought from Walmart. The first thing that he did was to remove the shrink wrap that had DO NOT REMOVE written on it in big letters. He told me that with the shrink on it was impossible to install the blade because there was not enough slack in the chain. He had it on and adjusted in a matter of seconds. Thank you, Matt, of North Little Rock Lowe's! I took the chainsaw home and started it with no problems after that. My biggest problem was Poulan, Poulan employees and instructions with drawings, not pictures to guide me. The instructions were in miniature and even with a magnifying glass were impossible to read. The crude drawings looked like they might have come from a manual from 1947. I went on YouTube to try to find someone's personal instructions for assembly and there were none, zero, zilch, nada to be found. Never again, Poulan!

They just put a fancy name like woodshark to make the saw seem tougher. All this saw is for is very small trees and brush, that's it. You will find yourself in a jam if you need to do a job of any large size and have to find replacement.

someone actually sold me one of these at a yard sale for 10 bucks. took it home, replaced the spark plug and she fired right up. I've cut a lot of wood with this little saw. cut through logs about 28" in diameter. make sure you keep a file with you and some spare chains. definitely a great saw!! only problem with mine is the gas leaks so I sit it on it's side when cooled down, probably just needs a new 0-ring

This is a good little saw for limbing trees or for light tree cutting. It started right up and it went through some small pines I had to thin with no problem. It will be good to have around for windfalls this winter and for home projects. I also ordered a two pack of spare chains since it,s easier to change them out and sharpen them later..

Bought this saw for light use around the yard. Saw was hard to start- pull cord keeps binding. Once stared it would not idle. Used it three times and then saw "froze" up. Since it was out of warranty not worth fixing. I should get a refund and Walmart should not sell these!

Found I needed to fall some trees and decided the saw not having a vibration resistant handle required the next larger chain saw (Poulan 16' Pro) which I upgraded to. This would be the saw I recommend to a friend.

Nice saw for $100....but it may need adjusted to run smoothly. The problem is, in order to adjust the carborator, you must have a specific tool or take it to a small engines shop. The blade dulled quickly. I found the tool and a new blade at Amazon for about $20 for both. Works fine now.

Fresh out of the box, fresh gas/oil mix,poulan bar oil. Had a pile of large limbs to cut up. Saw would not idle and would not run @ full throttle. Yes it was returned 4 hours after purchase.
The feel and quality is definitely not the same as my previous Walmart purchased Poulan. It lived thru 4 hurricane clean-ups and 6 years of firewood. Replacement was because the fuel hose started crumbling in the tank and the compression was starting to go.
