The claimed 4 HP = 2984 WThat means, at 120 V it will have to draw 25.8 Amps.Some sellers list the Poulan Pro 400E CRBB as drawing 15 Amps. At 120 V that = 1800W. That would be = to 2.4 HPNow 2.4 is far from 4Wich one is it ?L.

Steve - good luck to you too. I'd be curious to know if your new one does have the correct decal. By the way, was the one that you returned the wrong color? The saw does work quite well; I have used it several times in the last couple of weeks including an 18" diameter tree that had uprooted.

T,Thanks for the update, there is a picture of the ES350 to the right of this dialog box. I'm expecting to receive my "new" PP400E tomorrow.As long as it isn't green I should be ok. Good luck with yours, sounds like it should be a pretty decent machine based upon all the positive reviews.

I received my new saw yesterday from Amazon... the label on the motor housing identifies the unit as Model # ES350, the label on the handguard identifies it as a Model # PP400E ???Steve T CT

Steve - thanks for the update; good luck to you also. BTW, there should be a serial number decal on the bottom, 5 digits and the letter D; Derek explained that the 5 digits represent the date code, so first 2 digits are YY and remaining 3 are the day within the year (001 - 365 or 366). Mine is 07348D (Dec 14,2007), so its about 6 weeks "old". (Seems strange that they don't have unique serial number for every saw.)Terry

T,Got the new saw...everything looks ok but it does have the wrong label on the motor housing as before. Derek at Poulan is going to send me the correct one. It is interesting to note that on the bottom of the ES350 label, the name "HUSQUAVARNA" appears. I guess you just don't know who makes what anymore....It's been good talking to you, hope all goes well with your new saw.Regards,Steve

Warren,I called Poulan direct yesterday and spoke with Derek in customer service. He would be very interested in talking to you. He can be reached at 800-238-9333. Ask for Derek. He wanted me to send mine back to him so they could look at it but I had allready sent it back to Amazon.

that's what I saw also. I submitted my question to Poulan support via their email link on Jan 18th but have not received a response yet; will post here when/if I get one. I've tried to find a local hardware store that carries this model so that I could look at it but no luck. Its kind of confusing because there is also an ES350 model which is advertised as 3.5 hp. Also, on my 400E the part number on the motor housing lists it as 16" chain and bar which it isn't.

T,The saw that I returned was the yellow/black one apparently with the wrong label. Actually it had the correct label on the underside of the hand guard as well as all of the other decals that suggested that it was the 4HP - 18" model. The incorrect label was on the motor housing itself. Another reason that I returned it was because the box must have taken a pretty good hit since it was pretty well trashed and the bar was sticking out of one end about four inches... didn't want to mess with it as it could have had some "internal" injuries. I expect to have my new one today, will let you know how things go... T,The saw that I returned was the yellow/black one apparently with the wrong label.

Steve - thanks for the info; I did talk to Derek just now - FWIW, he said that it just has the wrong decal (if it were actually a ES350 it would be a different color, green rather than yellow) and they will send the correct decal out; so I guess I'm ok with that explanation, at least for now. Also, I asked him about the serial number and he said it should be on a small decal that has 5 digits and the letter D - I found that on the bottom of the motor. It sounded like they had done some research after your call and had reached that conclusion.

I purchased the pro3 in January. I too was looking for a more powerful 350W motor. I agree the specifications and printed material was (is) not clear. When I tired the unit, it was 200W I think, but it did not do the work that my Kitchen Aid did so I returned it.

This a safety low Kick back chain. It will not stay sharp too long. The no safety chain has 5 times the cutting power, but you have to use all safety precautions that go with it. Do not cut with the end of the chain in downward motion, watch for twigs, Pretty much else is about knowing the safe use of a chainsaw. I use an Oregon chain in my H 460, and it cuts wood like butter. Poulan should not be any different. Safety and head gear is highly recommended.

It's 2 hp and let me tell you how good it is. I found out about this saw from a older friend who is an electrician. He said it worked very good especially lighter weight and not having to deal with mix fuels/oils and such. So I bought one. I have been cutting huge 18-20" timber and it just keeps up as well as my Poulan or my Sthil. Just make sure your chain is tight and you keep the chain oiler filled.

I think it is 350w, but you have to be careful, go to the bamix website and read up on the different models and their numbers, there is slight differences in shaft length and motor speed between them. Then match up the model numbers to what is offered on Amazon. When I bought mine, there were a few different models offered, and the stats on the amazon listing did not match the model number from the bamix website. I ordered the one with the model number that matched the specs I wanted from the bamix website. The correct model was shipped. Rule: don't always trust what the listing says, double check your model numbers to the manufacturers site.

It's 2 years limited warranty. They are really good at responding to customer's issue. I purchased an Earthwise pole saw. The motor broke within the warranty period. They replaced it right away, no hassle. It's the reason that I purchased their cordless saw.

My machine is a Poulan--same manufacturer. I hate it. It is a 21" It clogs up so easily. I call it a great snow pusher

The Chainsaw pictured is the one I purchased. I'm new at it...check out the safety stuff. Especially "kickback" It being newly refurbished , I had to keep making adjustments. Other than that...my first year with it was great. The product performed awesome!

Dwight,There is no horsepower rating on the motor itself, however, based on other "true" rated motors I have in my shop, I would say its a 3/4 hp. As for the wheels, I haven't had to replace them yet but I can tell you that the shaft size is huge so you really have to watch where you get them from. I bought a Dewalt wire wheel thinking it was going to fit ( 5/8" shaft) and it wasn't even close. I believe Ebay has the grinding wheels but just make sure the mounting hole diameter is the same. By the way this is the best grinder I have ever owned.Hope this helps Dwight,There is no horsepower rating on the motor itself, however, based on other "true" rated motors I have in my shop, I would say its a 3/4 hp.

This is a new Poulan hedge trimmer. I have used it quite a few times now. It always starts right away and does a great job trimming. My neighbor used it and went out and bought a new one. The warranty is similar to the other one I researched before buying this one. They seem to all be the same.

The motor is a typical electric motor, but is attached to the saw blade via a belt. PS You didn't ask but I would highly recommend this saw.

I also looked in my book and couldn't find the info either. I didn't see the information on the saw either. This is a light weight saw. I have used mine quite a bit over the years I've had it. I works great. I did find a phone number you might want to try. 1-877-bosch99. Maybe they have the info you want.

From the ones I have recived and what I have seen no this item is for a petrol chainsaw only and if you look on web page they do not say anything about this item being used on an electric saw so I would not RISC it

Sorry but I returned my Poulan Pro a day after I received it as the weight prevented me from lifting it---However, I just bought a Poulan Pro riding mower blade at Lowes...perhaps they carry Poulan chains as well.

I did a google search and found that it *might* be a 300W motor, which is pretty standard. It has three speeds so it might be more.

"Amazon Customer" is correct. Some Poulan saws have 70 links while some other saws with a 20" bar take 72 links.Count your links to be sure!
