Cleaning of parts
Always keep the engine clean by wiping down with a cloth rag.
Inspection of bolts, nuts and screws
• Check bolts, nuts, etc. Tighten them if necessary.
• Check the fuel cap and oil cap for tightness. Check for fuel leakage.
• Replace damaged parts with new ones for safety operation.
Storing tool
CAUTION:
• The engine is still hot just after stopping engine. When draining the fuel, allow sufficient time for the engine to cool down after stopping it.
Otherwise a skin burn and/or fire may result.
• When the machine is kept out of operation for a long time, drain all fuel from the fuel tank and carburetor, and keep it at a dry and clean place.
Biologically degradable saw chain oil can only be kept for a limited period. Beyond two years after manufacture, biological oils begin to acquire an
adhesive quality, and cause damage to the oil pump and components in the lubricating system.
• Before taking the chain saw out of service for a longer period, empty the oil tank and fill it with a small quantity of engine oil (SAE 30).
• Run the chain saw briefly to flush all residue of the biological oil out of the tank, lubricating system and saw mechanism.
Store the chain saw on a suitable surface.
Before returning the chain saw to service, fill up with fresh bio-degradable saw chain oil.
NOTE:
• When the chain saw is taken out of service, small quantities of chain oil leaks from it for some time afterwards. This is normal, and is not a sign
of a fault.
