CAUTION
Never put a chain saw into storage for longer than 30 days
without carrying out the following steps.
Follow the cleaning instructions and maintenance instruc-
tions before storing the device.
Storing a chain saw
Storing a chain saw for longer than 30 days requires stor
-
age maintenance. Unless the storage instructions are fol-
lowed, fuel remaining in the carburetor will evaporate,
leaving gum-like deposits. This could lead to difficult start
-
ing and result in costly repairs.
• Remove the fuel tank cap slowly to release any pressure
in tank. Carefully drain the fuel tank.
• Start the engine and let it run until the unit stops to re-
move fuel from carburetor.
•
Allow the engine to cool (approx. 5 minutes).
• Remove the spark plug.
• 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.

Store the unit in a dry place and away from possible sourc-
es of ignition such as a furnace, gas hot water heater, gas
dryer, etc.
