That is actually Poulan made. Don't know much about them, other
than that they were well built (for a consumer electric saw). A
couple came into the shop when I was at Sears. Cord
replacements (due to abuse). I like that they have two bar
studs. That one is late 1980's manufacture. I've seen the same
saws in Poulan green and Craftsman red.

I have one. Actually, I have two! Bought mine around 1988/89;
came with the earlier version of the PowerSharp system (knob on
right side of the handle). A neighbor bought a similar one
recently at a garage sale, and (somehow) it ended up in my
garage! That one originally came equipped with a low kickback
'banana bar'. Was/is a fine saw. I used it to cut up several
full cords of slab oak I bought when we got a wood stove insert
for our fireplace. I just stopped using it much once I got
slightly more powerful Makita and Oregon corded saws. Should be
fine for the use described.
I have a paper manual for it - could not find a PDF on line, but
if you want one, I can scan it for you. Attached is the IPL,
although, most parts aside from the bar and chain are probably
NLA from Sears.

Guy never got back to me in my email :-X. So I bought a wood
blade for my reciprocating saw for now.

Thought that you had already bought it! I was pretty impressed
with that new corded Oregon saw if you are considering a new
one.
