The chainsaw can be stored for short periods of time (less than 30 days) without performing any
storage maintenance. If the chainsaw is to be stored for longer than 30 days, carry out the storage
maintenance instructions as described in the following section.
Before placing the chainsaw into storage, always carry out the following:
• Allow the chainsaw engine to fully cool.
• Ensure the saw chain and guide bar are clean, free from debris and fully lubricated.
• Cover the saw chain with the supplied protective cover.
• Store the chainsaw on flat and level surface with the chainsaw upright.
• Store in a safe place which is not accessible by children or people who are not familiar
with its operation.
Store the unit in a dry place away from possible sources of ignition such as a furnace,
gas hot water heater, gas dryer, etc.
If the chainsaw is to be placed into storage for more than 30 days, storage maintenance must be
performed on the chainsaw. If the following steps are not carried out, when you next operate the
chainsaw it may not start correctly and may need to be serviced.
