TRANSPORTING AND STORING

See Figure 44.

■ Do not store or transport the chain saw when it is

running. The chain saw should always be idle

before storing or transporting.

■ Always place the guide bar scabbard on the bar

and chain before storing or transporting the chain

saw. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the

chain.

BATTERIES

The battery pack for your chain saw is equipped with nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging will depend on the type of work you are doing.

The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they will eventually wear out. Do not disas- semble battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.

To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:

■Store and charge your batteries in a location where the temperature is above 50°F but less than 100°F.

■Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately after they are dis- charged.

■All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you store your chain saw for long periods of time without using it, recharge it every month or two.

This practice will prolong battery life.

DISPOSAL OF THE EXHAUSTED BATTERY

■ Clean the chain saw thoroughly before storing.

Store the chain saw indoors, in a dry place that is

locked and/or inaccessible to children.

■ Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden

chemicals and de-icing salts.
