Storage After Use

Inspect and adjust every part of the chain saw.

Completely clean every part and repair if necessary.

Apply thin coating of oil on metal parts to prevent rust.

Remove chain and guide bar.

Drain fuel tank completely. Press purge bulb 6 - 7 times to remove remaining fuel from carburetor then drain the tank again. Close choke, start and run the engine until it stops due to lack of fuel.

Allow engine to cool then remove the spark plug and pour 7 cc (1/4 oz.) of fresh, clean, two-stroke engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole.

Store in a dry area, free from dust.

Do not store in an enclosure where fuel fumes may accumulate or reach an open flame or spark.

Do not lend or rent your chain saw without the Instruction manual and Safety manual.

Note:

For future reference, you should keep this Instruction manual and the Safety manual.
