STORING A CHAIN SAW
Storing a chain saw for longer than 30 days re-
quires storage maintenance. Unless the storage
instructions are followed, fuel remaining in the
carburettor will evaporate, leaving gum-like de-
posits. This could lead to difficult starting and re
-
sult in costly repairs.
CAUTION:
Never store a chain saw for
longer than 30 days without performing the fol-
lowing procedures.
1. Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release
any pressure in tank. Carefully drain the fuel
tank.
2. Start the engine and let it run until the unit
stops to remove fuel from carburettor.
3. Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
4. Using a spark plug wrench, remove the spark
plug.
5. Pour 1 teaspoon of clean 2-cycle oil into the
combustion chamber. Pull starter rope slowly
several times to coat internal components.
Replace spark plug
(Fig. 19)
.
NOTE:
Store the unit in a dry place and away from
possible sources of ignition such as a furnace, gas
hot water heater, gas dryer, etc.
REMOVING A UNIT FROM STORAGE
1. Remove the spark plug.
2. Pull the starter rope briskly to clear excess oil
from the combustion chamber.
3. Clean and gap the spark plug or install a new
spark plug with proper gap.
4. Prepare the unit for operation.
5. Fill the fuel tank with proper fuel / oil mixture.
Refer to
FUEL MIXING TABLE

GUIDE BAR MAINTENANCE
Frequent lubrication of the guide bar (railed bar
which supports and carries the saw chain) sprock-
et tip is required. Proper maintenance of the guide
bar, as explained in this section, is essential to
keep your saw in good working condition.
CAUTION:
The sprocket tip on your
new saw has been pre-lubricated at the factory.
Failure to lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip as
explained below will result in poor performance
and seizure, voiding the manufacturer’s war-
ranty.
Lubrication of the sprocket tip is recommended
after 10 hours of use or once a week, which ever
occurs first. Always thoroughly clean guide bar
sprocket tip before lubrication.
Tools for lubrication:
The lube gun (not included in the kit) is recom-
mended for applying grease to the guide bar
sprocket tip. The lube gun is equipped with a nee-
dle nose tip which is necessary for the efficient
application of grease to the sprocket tip.
WARNING:
Wear heavy duty work
gloves when handling the bar and chain.
1. Move the STOP switch down.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to remove the saw
chain to lubricate the guide bar sprocket tip. Lubri-
cation can be done on the job.
2. Clean the guide bar sprocket tip.
3. Using the lube gun (not included in the kit): In-
sert the needle nose into the lubrication hole
and inject grease until it appears at the out-
side edge of the sprocket tip
(Fig. 20).
4. Rotate the saw chain by hand. Repeat lubri-
cation procedure until the entire sprocket tip
has been greased.
Most guide bar problems can be prevented merely
by keeping the chain saw well maintained.
Insufficient guide bar lubrication and operating the
saw with chain that is too tight will contribute to
rapid bar wear.
To help minimize bar wear, the following guide bar
maintenance procedures are recommended.
WARNING:
Wear heavy duty work
gloves when handling the bar and chain.
Chain sharpening:
Chain sharpening requires special tools to ensure
that cutters are sharpened at the correct angle
and depth. For the inexperienced chain saw user,
we recommend that the saw chain be profession-
ally sharpened by the nearest SPARKY service
centre. If you feel comfortable sharpening your
own saw chain, special tools are available from
SPARKY service centers.
WARNING:
A wrong sharpened chain
may increase the danger of kickback.
